I know this was fixed but it's here again after the lats update. I've never had this issue before this, not even when this apparently was an issue last year. I've had neighbours coming in to me, and then they can't enter their own apartment, getting stuck outside for a while and then re-entering my apartment. Through locks I want to add!

Also random sims I've never even seen before.

This is happening on a completely new save file, because the update broke my other ones.

@Naraveth I merged your post with the existing thread on this.

Could you send your save to EA as asked above ?

[Naraveth]

@crinrict I've sent my save and it's different back-up versions. Not gotten a response if they could open the saves though. Just guessing they got it since they've not said otherwise.

[crinrict]

@Naraveth I'm guess so to. Thanks for sending.

Look, I know this might not be a bug but a flawed feature but the penthouse "Torendi Tower" in San Myshuno (or possibly other penthouses too) privacy is severely maddening. Sure I can lock for EVERYONE but the household, but that makes friends and other non-household family members unable to enter. Not even key holders can bypass the lock.

But if I don't, paparazzis and STRANGERS just come inside the house, loot my vegetables and break my electronics I honestly just have the spellcaster inferniate them everytime because I'VE HAD ENOUGH. Please do an update on this? The celebrity gate isn't helping either because some of their friends aren't celebs!

I decided to do a clean sweep on my Sims 4 game and start fresh. I know...insane. 

So I created a sim in San Myshuno and placed her in an apartment. I bought her books and sat her down to start learning skills.

I used the motive decays cheat so that I could turn it up to ultra speed and have her read non stop.

This is where it gets weird.

I have the front door set to allow my sim only, but as time passes at ultra speed, people off the street or neighbors will glitch through her apartment wall and stand in a far corner trying to walk on. Once they have detemined they cannot walk on, they turn around and start doing things in the apartment...cooking, talking to plants, starting fires, etc. I have to unlock the door and eventually they leave. Once they leave, I relock the door, but it keeps happening.

The only Mods in my game are MC Command Center and UI Cheats Extension and both are up to date. 

This only happens with the apartments. My other Sims who live in houses and my other saves do not have this problem.

Anyone else have this happen? Can it be prevented?

HI @deekitty31 

Merged your post with the bug report on this.

[LuminDidIt]

I'm having a slight variation of this issue, random sims keep entering through my gate and keep harvesting my plants. Issue is, my gate is locked to everyone but employees and household (and locked to the cat). I'm getting real sick of people barging into my yard and stealing my harvestables.

Sims who would invite themselves over and make themselves a little too welcome have relearned their manners and should now knock.
