I have three "apartments" on my lot. I have locked the doors for everyone but those I have decided live in each one. I tell my sim in apartment A to grab leftovers from their fridge, but they instead walk over to apartment B to grab food, which ends up with a route fail because the door to apartment B is locked for them.
Workaround that sometimes work: Instead of selecting "grab leftovers", select "open" and find the leftovers you want your sim to eat and then select "grab plate". Sometimes it works, sometimes they still insist on going over to a different fridge.
Workaround that does work: Place the leftovers on any surface, click it and select "grab plate".
One thing I have noticed that affects this, is which one of my sims does the cooking, and thus which fridge I drag the leftovers into. So if I have my sim in apartment A grab leftovers cooked by themselves, or one of the sims in the same apartment, it's not a problem. But if I have my sim in apartment C grab leftovers cooked by my sim in apartment B, my sim will walk over to that apartment to grab food. But since my apartments are locked, it ends up with a route fail.
Sometimes my sims ignore locked doors, but that's a different bug.
I've had this problem for a couple of days, so it's not from the most recent update. But since I haven't played the game in a while it's hard to say how recent this bug is. I would say it's definitely from this year though, within the past 6 months.
Having this issue with changing infant diapers atm. Sim will pick up infant and walk out of the nursery, across the house and to a separate changing table.
Issue has reappeared since chef hustle
