Re: [NEEDS INPUT] [DU] Can't knock on doors of University household

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? 1.63.136
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Travel to an occupied University Housing lot. Make sure it's not a penthouse and it's a properly built house with a front door.
What happens when the bug occurs? The "knock on door" interaction on the front door is grayed out and it says "Nobody lives here", despite of the fact that there are indeed Sims living there. As a result, you cannot enter the house and see what's inside.
What do you expect to see? The "knock on door" interaction should work correctly and Sims can enter the house.
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. 1.63.133

The following interactions has a new global test added in patch 1.63.133:

door_PlayerRingDoorbell_Sliding_UniversityHousing

door_PlayerRingDoorbell_Penthouse_UniversityHousing

door_PlayerRingDoorbell_UniversityHousing

    <V t="situation_running_test">
      <U n="situation_running_test">
        <V t="enabled" n="situation_whitelist">
          <L n="enabled">
            <T>209550</T>
          </L>
        </V>
        <V n="tooltip" t="enabled">
          <T n="enabled">0x65EF68B7</T>
        </V>
      </U>
    </V>

I have no idea why this new test was added but situation 209550 is the NPC roommate situation and it's impossible for any player Sims to pass this test. As a result, player Sims cannot visit any University Housing lots. Removing this new test fixes this issue.
