Unable to use entry doors

Has anyone ever encountered a door glitch? I just built a massive house but the sims cant enter though any door that leads to (or from) the outside. They can navigate through the house fine. They can...

    Jacalyn_Rose​  I spent almost an hour messing with this build, and I did manage to get sims to walk inside without deleting the walls.  However, I deleted almost everything else, so I can't tell you what exactly helped.  I can say that deleting every object that shows up in an NRaas MasterController Object Stats list did NOT help.  As a last step, I went through and deleted stairs and railings and fireplaces and chimneys, and then it worked.  I'd also previously leveled the terrain under the entrance, pulled the porch out a couple squares, removed the celebrity gate and the fence it sat on (and a dozen units of fence in general), and moved the mailbox in a few squares.

    The problem, aside from the fact that your build was mangled, is that I don't know whether I deleted the one item that's the problem, or there were a lot of items that were a problem and it took me that long to get all of them.  I don't have several more hours to spend on this myself, so that's as far as I can take you.  But if you're invested, you could do what I did out of order and see where you get.

You poor thing! I wouldn't have thought to delete the items- I'm glad that you thought of that. I'll do that, definitely invested at this point, and thankful to hear there is some kind of solution after a few hours myself trouble shooting. 

I'll delete the items since it's better than rebuilding an entire lot. I'll add back in items a few rooms in at a time and test sims periodically. Unfortunately I only tested with sims on this build at the beginning when working on terrain, everything worked then so I assumed I was in the clear. Lesson learned let's say on tests. 

Just to clarify- do you think flattening the lot helped your solution? or was it an unnecessary step? I'll avoid it if I can help it.
