I think that doors need locks. I built a tower for my skills. There is a room that I created for the Tech Guru Career within the tower. Whenever I have parties, it seems that room attracts almost all my guests. It is so annoying. I would rather have my guests hang out within the house or outside where the pool and bar are. Plus I really do not want other sims to be going into my skills rooms. I also believe that doors, rooms, should have the option to set it for a particular sim. I really liked that no other sim could enter the room.

THIS. We really need to be able to lock doors. I'm sick of having to redirect my sims that keep going into rooms I don't want them in.

I agree with having locks. Also the ability to assign beds/bedrooms would be great!

This, a 1000 times this. We need locks or at least a hook so one could be modded in.I have discovered you can train Sims to use certain beds, micromanage them for a few days and always point them to the same bed, they then just start using it.

I would like to stop sims walking in on each other in the bathroom! I understand it's funny to have the embarassing walked in/walked in on someone moodlets, but it's so inconvenient and unrealistic.

100% agree my Sims are forever getting "Embarrassed" because they can't lock bathroom doors!

Yes, door locks are sorely needed. I'm sure they will be patched in at some point, but this is such a basic thing that it just baffles me that this wasn't included on day 1.

It's not a perfect solution, but I was having this problem a lot until I started putting in walls/doors to divide every toilet/shower/bath. If one of my sims is still stupid enough to follow someone into the bathroom to try to chat, I can't always stop that, but at least they're unlikely to get embarrassed from trying to pee or shower at the same time.

I'm liking this idea. So you place a wall within the room where the toilet is - like a divider?

I definitely need locks and some system of assigning doors to particular sims (and groups of sims). I like to make dorms and houses with separate apartments/rooms, though it is difficult to play this way in TS4. Sims are wandering everywhere and they need to be micromanaged all the way.

Pretty much. Like a bathroom stall, except pure solid walls and a door, since there's no materials for an actual stall in this game.

i found that once you place the bed and send them to that bed once, they will go to that bed anyway. Just don't move the bed!

it is really annoying with the embarrassing moodlet. especially when you are doing an 100 baby challenge and can't afford more than 1 bathroom! the dividers are a good idea though. i use it.

Yes both of these and I don't think anyone has mentioned locking gates. I always put fences around my S3 houses and locked them. All of these would be great additions. :)

It isn't realistic, but you could go into Build and delete the door. I've done that before.
