[ARCHIVED] [CD] [HR] [CoL] Animals still use locked gates/walk through walls

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? 1.99.305.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work Perfect Patio Stuff Spa Day Cool Kitchen Stuff Spooky Stuff Get Together Romantic Garden Stuff Backyard Stuff City Living Vampires Parenthood Fitness Stuff Toddler Stuff Cats & Dogs Laundry Day Stuff Jungle Adventure My First Pet Stuff Seasons Get Famous StrangerVille Island Living Realm of Magic Discover University Tiny Living Eco Lifestyle Nifty Knitting Snowy Escape Paranormal Country Kitchen Bust the Dust Dream Home Decorator Cottage Living Industrial Loft Blooming Rooms Little Campers Werewolves High School Years Desert Luxe Everyday Clutter Bathroom Clutter Growing Together Greenhouse Haven Basement Treasures Book Nook Horse Ranch
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Lock gate or door for any type of animal.
What happens when the bug occurs? Animals continue to use gate.
What do you expect to see? Locked gates prevent animals from using them.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Horse Ranch

I can't get gates or doors to lock out animals since installing Horse Ranch.
I removed mods before installing Horse Ranch and did not use them while this problem occurred.

Locking gates and doors does not stop animals from using gates.
This problem happens when I select each animal to lock out, and also when I select "all pets."
This occurs with multiple gates including the "paddock gate," "stable stall door," and "prison door gate."
This also occurs with buildings and doors.
I don't know if this extends to human sims.

    Me too! I have locked every freaking gate and door countless times for all horses to keep them in the corral, and the horses blow through them to come into the house when they bloody well want. The horse ranch pack is my favorite pack, but i'm really getting fed up with this. 

  • I'm not sure why this is happening to some players but I just want to add a tip to keep horses out of the house. If you raise the house a little and add steps the horses won't go inside. It needs the steps and not just say a short platform. I had an issue with horses walking through walls some time ago and this stopped that from happening.

    I was sad to not see this included in today's big update for the Sims.... any update on this maybe? I'm still experiencing it. It's really buggy tho. Even though a fence is supposed to be locked for horses, the horse can get out but then when you direct it back in, it says it can't because it's supposedly locked. Mini sheep and goat are usually all around my house, instead of outside haha. It's funny but also I wish it would be fixed. 🙂
