Paparrazi on Private Lot
There's not really a reason to bother with specs as this is a "bug" that is considered intentional. However, I find it extremely frustrating and unrealistic. I know you're gonna say this isn't a bug ...

Interesting. I usually never have a gate or fence at all in the front yard. They don't come in the house. And I lock the gate to the back yard to keep everyone out. If someone comes to visit, they use the front door, which isn't blocked by a gate so guests just walk up and knock.
The pool, garden and such are in the back yard which is blocked by a gate locked for everyone and the house, which needs invites.
The trash bin is in the back yard so if a guest wants to take out my trash, or use the pool they're free as long as I've already invited them. The door to the back yard isn't locked. This method also keeps out the Stan from getting to the trash 'cause they'd have to go through the house to get to it.
@Psychotps You've given me an idea I'll try but sadly I feel like I shouldn't have to, but at least will alleviate my pain.
- @Hyperion_Rail Well, if you want the "appearance" of a fence, you can still put the fence up in the front yard, just leave the gate unlocked, or leave it out altogether, just an open space. Just make sure to block off the back yard with another fence.
I've never run into that issue because I've always done it as I've described.- @Psychotps So instead of having the gate, I just deleted it, and ran the fence all the way up the front door walkway (sorta trench run to the front door) making the front door also the front gate so to speak, and this sorta solved the problem as I have still found paparazzi in my yard, however it's just one every now and then (which feels realistic) and in most of those cases someone interacted with them autonomously and thus invited them in without my say. So this helped but I wouldn't call it a fix. I still think the concept of a front gate on your yard should work as enough of a deterrent. Thanks!
