Sims Walking into Closed Small Business

Like the title says, I finished building my small business. I go back into live mode but I don't open it, yet a total of seven sims came running in to start using the TV that I have set up in the employee area. I have all the areas labeled correctly and they even walked through the residential area. 

I'm not sure what caused this, but it was immediately frustrating. I had to lock the doors after making them all leave. Am I going to have to do this each time? Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • I had the same issue! I’m just spamming “Make sim leave” on MCCC instead of actually getting gameplay in. It’s so frustrating!

    When you have a door from the Residential area to the business make sure you have the door locked for everybody but the household.

    they're coming in from the business door. I've adjusted all the locks and ended up having to lock it for everyone when the business is closed. They walked into the residential and the employees only area.

    No mods/cc tested

    Their main residential house is in Ravenwood and I built the business in Nordhaven.

    lovingsanghyukSo the business and their house are on different lots? Is it just the business sims are walking into then, or also into the house on the residential lot?

    I have two lots. First lot is the house (guess that's kind of irrelevant to the problem, right?)

    Second lot is a single business that has areas sectioned for customers, employees, and residential. I have an area marked residential because I have my sims take care of needs and make the products (candles and jewelry), then the employee 'break room'. Sims are walking wherever they want when it's closed.
