Sims cannot enter lot

I created a lot with 8 Sims each having their own kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom (a 5 hour build). None can enter the house and I cannot see into the house. I currently play on Xbox One...

You do not have a landing in front of the door. This is required. The stairs can not go directly to the doors.

Actually it worked for a second then went back to no access for anyone.

I give up...

@cno0 It still failed even with the porch? That's odd.

Try clearing the game's cache files. Maybe try changing the door to a different one.

I ended up having to move it to a bigger lot unfurnished, create landing strips for each flight of stairs, and use a different door, then redecorate.
It was a hassle but it FINALLY worked and all sims entered the lot! I played the household all night and it made me very happy.

  It's pretty odd behaviour though. Is the staircase unusable when it is placed on the road side or not facing the road?

    That's what I was thinking. I noticed the front of the building was quite close to the edge of the lot. Which is why, in my pic, I decided to put the stairs facing either side instead of directly on the front. Plus, having the stairs on either side with the railing kinda fits the building's aesthetic.
    
    I wonder if you have stairs facing forward, right at the edge, are sims not able to get up?
