Password lock the computers

I agree. There’s a mod available that does exactly that:

Having other sims on your computers, especially those who aren’t even in your household, is annoying, awkward, rude, and unrealistic. It’s unfortunate how many mods are needed in TS4.

I would like to use a mod to help with it but I am on console :)

Exactly why the devs need to dedicate resources for these annoyances, can't rely on the communities mods when your playerbase is spread across platforms that don't have access to mods. I think they're more likely to see and respond to a tweet than these forums tbh.

Yes please, I also like to avoid mods because once I pop I just can't stop... then I have one thing which breaks the game, I can't figure out which because there's too much and I have to delete the whole folder. But I hate the whole neighbour sims coming in and just making themselves at home, I don't think this should be allowed unless you're at either good friends level or you've given them a spare key. Respectful house guests please! (And an option of telling disrespectful guests off, could be tied in with their traits maybe? Some more polite than others)

Sometimes it's these little things that make the gameplay annoying. Also who in real life will autonomously cook in other's house…

I hope they have locks on all these things, or just prevent such actions will do good.

i know this top is old but you dont need a mod for this xD. put door on computer room, lock it so only specifit sim can get in the room?

@Hekete thing is the Op wants the sims to be able to hang out in a Sims A's room but w/o anyone touching the computer so your idea doesn't work

EA could put a "claim" on it as they do with beds so that only the claimant could use it maybe? That would help a lot if we got a University EP.

i think this claim idea is a very good one, for someone that plays on console without the option for mods. that could be like a form of "password lock", only it would limit the computer to one sim.

alternatively, a "password lock" could work like locking doors; with options like "Password lock computer for..." bringing up a menu like the door locks do. that would be a really good way to customize accessibility to the computer.

additionally, with a password lock for computers like the lock functionality for doors, you could still have your sims hanging in a room with a computer and have nobody on it. you could do this by selecting "Password lock computer for...." > "Everyone"
