Hi @Atheis56 Do you use any mods?
I have heard similar problems, though I've never used the feature, that there needs to be a 'Good Friends' status with the person that receives the key.. which also makes sense.
Hope this helps,
Sasha
No mods. Never any installed or removed.
How are the Residence Keys intended to work?
Does this mechanic have nothing to do with the locked/unlocked status of a front door, but simply allows a sim to enter an unlocked house without knocking first? Doesn't make sense to me. Keys work in locks. Residence keys should open the locked residence. Yet the mechanic does not work at all. Bugged? Blurry? Or is my specific game coded just to annoy me? Confounding.
Thanks!
Apart from checking there is no other lot trait interfering with it, like "Private Dwelling"? (which discourages visitors)
>> needs to be a 'Good Friends' status with the person that receives the key.; so perhaps monitor the friend status bar also.
From IGN TS4 'Apartments" Guide "..."Keys to friends have no direct benefit other than having a close relationship stop by often. Keys cannot be given to friends for houses in the suburbs in this way."
a few more tips here:
Happy Simming, and good luck with the process.
