Can't click on any gates

[HippieWiccan13]

I managed to fix the "can't click on sims" thing.  I found an old mod (that I have had forever) that seemed to be the problem because I deleted it and now they are ok.  I still cannot click on any gates.

I think I found a solution to the gate issue!!!  I am copying and pasting this, as written, from the original source...

However, after enabling testingcheats, and while in Build/Buy mode, and by holding CTRL+Shift and left-clicking on the gate, the option for 'Lock' was available. So I selected that. I also selected 'enable for triggers' or something similar, and then activated that, I was able to set the gate as 'front gate' in Live Mode. From there I could designate who could pass through the gate.

This worked for me!

Something else I noticed: If the gate is not on a closed fence (ie a box or the gate touching the house on both ends) it won't allow you to lock it!

I'm glad to read that @HippieWiccan13! Thanks for sharing what worked for you with the community, it might help @Suabam if they are still having this issue

Enjoy the game!

I've figured out how you can fix this. This is apparently happening because the gate is not attached to an enclosed fence. If you add a gate to a closed fence (meaning that all four sides of the area is enclosed with fence) then the gate should work. It will not work if the fence is incomplete. I hope this helps!

Hi @Teetee1282,

Didn't think about fences, thanks for sharing your solution!

I just had this happen to me for the first time. The fence has to be complete, meaning there can be no gaps.
