[TROUBLESHOOT] Parent Keyholder is unable to enter apartment

[ Edited ]
★ Guide

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1- Create Sim A (Sim A should live in an apartment) 2- Make Sim A have a baby with Sim B (Sim B should live in another house) 3- Sim A gives Sim B the key of her apartment. 4- Sim A leaves for work - A nanny is in her apartment taking care of the baby. 5- Sim B visits Sim A (Sim A is at work, but the baby and the nanny are inside the apartment) 6- Sim B cannot enter Sim A's apartment despite the fact he has the key to enter it.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim (having the apartment key) remains outside the apartment and when he knocks on the door a message appears. Something like "There is nobody home". And he cannot enter the apartment.
What do you expect to see? The sim (having the apartment key) should be able to enter the apartment as if it was his own, since he has the key to enter it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

Hi Crinrict,

 

Yes, I have just tested the same situation without any mods or custom content in the game and the result was the same: Sim B is locked outside the apartment as if he hasn't the key to it.

And do you only have this situation for parents that don't live together or is it for all key holders ?

I just tested it, and the bug occurs with a keyholders who is not a parent living in a different household. When the keyholder sim visits the apartment when the sim living in that apartment is at work, the keyholder sim is not able to enter it.

I will test it again after today's patch.

Have keys ever worked the way you describe? I don't think they do anything other than allow surprise pop-in keyholder visits to occur. They don't grant access to the apartments at any time desired.

I'm not sure if it ever worked like I intended it to. This is just the way it makes sense to me, if you have the key to an apartment you should be able to enter it whenever you visit it. That's the logical assumption.
