@xochiquetzl_xkvn Just wondering if the door locking has become sensitive to which way the door is facing in some update somehow? You might try reversing the doors and see if that changes anything.

To give credit where credit is due, I must say that your descriptions of your game-play and the ensuing difficulties are highly entertaining. Thank you!

Thank you!  :D

I'll try that.  It might take a while for Paparazzi to respawn after my latest, er, serial killing.  Also I now have a servo bot with the Sim Defense Module and he scared off the one that's respawned twice, so... I'll let you know.

Alas, no, I tried that and awakened to find Maja Mertensen in their home.  I don't even feel guilty deleting her any more because she's respawned at least three times now.

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn Ah, the Immortal Paparazzi problem!

    Seriously, though, I only bother with the "everyone but household member" locks on back and side doors to keep random Sims walking through my house in order to knock at the front door. And the paparazzi don't come into my 5 Star Celebrity Sim house at all, but hang out in the driveway a respectful distance away. Occasionally, a Stan will come in for a drink and a little chat, but they clean up after themselves, and sometimes clean up after my Sim; so that's not too bad.

    Hmm... Now I wonder if the the dog/cat lock alone could be the problem.

      LOL, yeah, Maja has stolen from my Sims before--a portrait of my 5 star celebrity painted by her 4 star celebrity mother--so I'm really eager to keep her out of my house!  (She went straight for the one item where I would have an absolute fit! I quit without saving.  That item is sentimental.)

      It does seem to be the pet locks; there could certainly be something else I haven't noticed going on but that's what it appears to be to me. 

      I instead created a club with household members and locked the door to everyone, then granted access to that club and another club and employees.  So far, so good. 

      Maybe I should mark this as "workaround"?

        @xochiquetzl_xkvn Kleptomaniac Paparazzi are the worst!

        It might help someone with this issue. So, yeah, I'd call it a workaround.
