Re: Sims try to leave house through Window instead of door

I had a similar issue in San Myshuno, in the 64x64 park. The sims will not use the front door of the main building on the park. Instead after spawning 10mts away from the front door of the building (after the lot is loaded) they always go to either of the sides of the park (there are holes in the fences) and then walk towards the back door of the building.
Something similar happens when they are commanded to leave the lot. They go to the "holes" in the fences instead of choosing to go thorugh the shorter path (which requires them to get into the building and exit though the front door).While testing I tried closing the fences so the only way to get in/out the lot is though one side of it, but they still try to exit through the now closed sides, they find that they can't and so they go all the way around the building until they finally leave the lot. The front door of the building has no problem as I can force the sims to go through it,  they just seem to dislike the front door when moving autonomously

    HI @Kay21231

    Does it also occur on an new save game ?

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, mediafire, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

  • I don't really know which one it is but there are all of my saved files. I do use custom content but, I've tried removing them and the problem persists so I don't believe it will change the outcome.  @crinrict

    Thanks. I'll give it a try

    @Kay21231

    Which family do I need to play ? Your save shows a ghost as last played household in the icon but none of the households show as actually played.

    Hi @Kay21231

    finally was able to check your save but unfortunately, I can't replicate your issue. They are using the front door just fine for me.

    I did get a message that some build mode items are being removed so there was still some cc in save ?

  • Ive taked all CC out too and it still happens. The problem isnt sending them outside its trying to ge them back in. I have a video of what happens and ill send it here so you can see

    Yeah, they were getting in and out without any issues for me.

    Can you try the following:

    1. Create a new windows admin user on your computer
    2. Start the game on that user
    3. You will have no content you had before as you're on a different user
    4. Start a new game and see if that works
    5. If it does, download the save game you uploaded to mediafire to send to me and put that in your saves folder
    6. Start the game and the save and see if it still occurs.

    Maybe something about your windows user profile is not working.

    Unfortunately, your video doesn't really show for me.
