Ok… so to keep sims out of the kitchen at restaurants you have to own the restaurant? And there’s absolutely no way to keep them from going behind the bar on a bar lot?
I swear I wasn’t dreaming all those times that I used to lock doors for “everyone but __” in my nightclub ??
I know when the active Sim rents a lot, they are supposed to be able to lock doors except for household, as if they were in their home lot, but that wasn't working for me most recently. Also, I've noticed on public venues, such as a concert stage, he can no longer lock the door just for him to keep fans and Paparazzi off of the stage. I believe the lock door thing has gotten broken.
So glad to hear that someone else has noticed this issue (also frustrated though)! I’m starting to think that it’s a feature that very few people ever noticed to begin with and so whenever they nerfed it no one noticed either. My issue is that it really limits the options for making non-residential lots work the way you want them to, like the paparazzi issue you mentioned.
Now that I think about it, I took a large family on vacation a couple IRL months back and I think the doors were lockable then (for ‘everyone but _’). I’ll have to check if the option is still there now.
It’s so frustrating not to be able to play these lots as I want to anymore. I really hope they fix it (but I’m not too optimistic given that so few people even knew about it in the first place).
