Non-Household Sims Walking Into Apartment and Getting Stuck

Context: I have all expansion packs and all game packs (all enabled), and most stuff packs and kits.

Bug: This only occurs in San Myshuno, and (for me at least) has only occurred while living in 18 Culpepper House. At any time of day, a random, non-active-household Sim will be walking on the sidewalk outside the apartment, and suddenly, their walking path with take them up and inside the apartment, through the floors and walls, getting them stuck inside the apartment as though they're still walking outside. Half the time, they'll walk directly through and out the other side into the alleyway (through walls and such with no regard for objects), and the other half of the time, they will walk through the apartment and get stuck inside it with no way to remove them except either taking control of that Sim in their household or by deleting that Sim via cas.fulleditmode and entering CAS after shift-clicking them. I've had as many as three Sims in one in-game day get trapped inside my apartment because they routed inside my apartment several floors above the sidewalk they were walking on. This only ever happens to Sims walking outside the building on the sidewalk, always coming from the same direction, and into the same room.

  • @Sm00re1 Are you using mods/cc in your game ?

    Have you tried repairing the game and checking another save to see if it's save game related or a general issue ?

    I have no mods or CC installed or enabled. And I don't think repairing the save would help because this is the only bug I'm experiencing and it seems very logical that it would be happening because, as I said, it's just a routing error for these NPC Sims. I don't think the save file is broken, and it's been happening since I made this save. This is the first time I've ever lived in this apartment, too, so I have nothing else to compare it to in terms of living there, but it's never happened to me on any other lots in San Myshuno.

    And the routing error makes sense because the Sims are always walking through the apartment to the alleyway instead of around it, meaning it's just an issue of the Sims ignoring the lot and walking through it, which, because it's in the sky, causes them to teleport up and into my apartment to walk through it to get where they're going, sometimes getting trapped inside while spinning in circles.

    @Sm00re1 It would be very good if you could test if it was just that save. Just start a new one and see if it happens too.

    It's a standard troubleshooting step to see if it's a general issue or an issue with the save game itself.

    A game repair often helps with issues and unless you are on limited internet data or have a very slow connection, should only take a few moments.

    Did you also test other apartments ?

    Could you maybe also post a video ?

  • I have this issue aswell and it happens with Jasmine suites (im not sure if thats right) which is right next to the lot the OP was reffering to. I have repaired my game numerous times and it still happened. I always thought it was my mods and/or cc that started it but I determined it wasn't

  • This happens to me too, in 18 Culpepper House in San Myshuno. I have some packs and expansions. This is a brand new save file. I haven't had mods or CC. The non-household Sims are morphing/warping through the wall and into the apartment; it has nothing to do with coming in through the door. They have the walk animation and show up in the bedroom (in the default apartment layout), spin around a few times, and sometimes leave through the door. Sometimes they can be interacted with, but sometimes they can't.

    They will not leave when I use the Sim to ask them to Go Away because they are stuck and can't get out of the apartment. I tried adding them to a Group and going into the hallway together, but the non-household Sim was giving the "can't go there" error and wave. I tried both the options for resetting the Sim but they're still stuck in the apartment and can't get out.
