Aren't door knobs supposed to be on the right hand side of entry doors?

I have both at my house.

• Front Door = Knob on Left
  
• My Bedroom Door = Knob on Left
  
• Daughter's Bedroom = Knob on Right
  
• Bathroom Door = Knob on Left
  
• Back Door = Knob on Left
  
• Basement Door from Kitchen = Knob on Right
  
• Outside Basement Door = Knob on Right
  
• Outside Garage Side Door = Knob on Right
  

Oh, this is very helpful.

Keep in mind, rotating the doors with <,> won’t work for all the doors. Some doors have a glass window with a tiny curtain, flower pot hanging, or some decoration that is meant for them to be on a specific side

Actually all doors have both. The door knob is always on the left on one side and on the right on the other as there is typically only one door knob that is on both sides. My front door knob is on the left on the exterior and on the right on the interior. My back door is the opposite.

The beauty about Sims is that you can use either. Depends what's on the other side of the door. I prefer front doors to open inwards, but I've come across many in real life that don't. For internal doors it purely depends if there is room for my Sim to enter a room or not.

When you enter a building from the outside isn't the door knob supposed to be on the right hand side of the door? I honestly have never thought about this in game before but tonight I noticed all my doors on my houses have the knob on the left hand side? What? Is this a glitch or a mistake or what? I think I remember in some of the earlier Sims games you could jiggle the door back and forth and the knobs would move back and forth (if you had enough room on the wall to adjust it) but I couldn't get that to work in Sims 4.

I don't know, personally, of any hard and fast rule as to which side of the door, the knob is supposed to be. In my current RL house, the front door handle is on the left. One of the bedrooms upstairs, the knob is on the right, but that's mostly, I think, because the room opens into a large hallway. My loft office is on the opposite side of this room. But the bathroom and front bedroom doors have the knob on the left, as well. So, there's a real live example.

If you click and hold the door upon placement, I believe you can still change which side of the door the knob is. Same as the windows.

It depends on the builder's or owner's preferences. There are no hard and fast rules. Also aesthetics and layout play key roles. Turn it the way you want.

It doesn’t matter in game like it does IRL. But I try to hang the doors in a sensible direction. In my last apartment there were 2 cabinets that opened into the room instead of flat against the wall, and someone rehung the bedroom door so that it would open against the wall but then it blocked the light switch. At least our sims don’t have to deal with inconveniences like that.

I'm pretty sure it depends on which side of the door you're facing. By default, it appears on the left from outside the room, but on the right when viewed from inside the room. Like others said, you can flip the doors around, but this also makes the doors open outside the room not inside it. But with doors, it's important that they allow for easy traffic, so the way they open depends on the layout of the house. Also, for fire safety and easy evacuation, doors in public places are supposed to open to the outside.

We replaced our front door this year and were given the option to get a version that hung right or left.
