Unable to set as front door at Torres Amanecer

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? 1.108.349.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, and stuff packs except for Batuu
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Move a sim into the penthouse on the Torres Amanecer lot, whether furnished or unfurnished, and click on doors
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no option on any door on the lot to "set as front door".
What do you expect to see? At least one door, especially the one closest to the elevator, should have the option to "set as front door". It should actually automatically be selected and greyed out, but that is not the case either.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Yesterday I moved a family into the Torres Amanecer penthouse in Ciudad Enamorada unfurnished, and redecorated/made some minor renovations. I did not enter live mode so I don't know if it was already a problem then. Today I installed the latest patch (10th August 2024) and then entered live mode. Non-household sims walked directly into my house and put the welcome wagon meal on a table in the smaller bedroom. This is when I noticed that there was no "set as front door" option. I checked all doors on the property, including the new shower door, but none had this option. I tried exiting/restarting and repairing the game and it made no difference. I also tried replacing the door, and remodelling the entry area so that the door could be in a different position, but that didn't work either. I see past threads on similar issues have been related to platforms/elevations, but as far as I can tell there are no platforms etc in the build.

I then created a fresh save and moved a different sim in to the same lot, keeping it furnished this time, and the exact same problem was still present.

This is particularly annoying as the sim in the save I was trying to play is currently a celebrity and I don't want paparazzi wandering in, and I don't want to unlock and re-lock the door every time I actually want a guest to come in.

I have attached a screenshot of the menu options available when I click on (what should be) the front door on the lot of Torres Amanecer.

  • Hi Crin,

    Thank you for your reply. I moved a sim into a different penthouse (San Myshuno) and the front door option isn't there either. The welcome wagon came, and all of the visitors wandered straight in to the home. I take it this is just an annoying "feature" I hadn't noticed before/forgot about after years of playing. Meanwhile in my normal save back in Torres Amanecer, I tried locking to keep everyone but the household out, AND lock it so that pets stay in, but I take it locking conditions don't stack, so I still have the paparazzi wandering in and Sammy Garcia (un-beared) coming over to shower naked in the rain in my yard. I don't like letting my pets wander so it seems I have to put up with it. I've just set both my door and gate now to be locked for "everyone", and then "unlock for specific sim" for my 3 household humans, but I already know that's going to get tedious fast whenever I let in guests that I actually want and have to undo/redo.

    Is there any way to make this a suggested QoL improvement? Improvements to the door locking system, and/or allow front doors in penthouses? Requiring non-household sims to be buzzed up in the lift? You can't just wander into a real penthouse...

    just noticed this problem today. There are 1000 doors in the house but none of them has the "no trespassing" option when I clicked on them. So neighbours and friends come to visit my sim all the time, wanting to cook, chat or exercise in my sim's house. Vlad also came once. It's so annoying
