I'm familiar with the kind of routing or animation issues where they pass through solid objects sometimes too, that's been a problem with the game (at least for me) since it first came out. I forgive that one, because the alternative is more frequent use of the routing failures instead, like we had so much of in TS3...I'd rather have what we have now than go back to that.
But I'm seeing something completely new, where a sim just routes as if the wall isn't there at all. It's not happening near a doorway or anything, they just are picking a route that goes right through a wall.
I've only seen it 3 times so far. So it's not the norm, but it's still jarring. I had one instance where a Sim heading to the back yard at my direction just got up and walked through the back wall of the house. The door is on the front with a secondary door on the side...they didn't even head in either of those directions.
And it's not confined to just that one lot, because both of the other times have been other lots. Once at University in the Foxbury commons and another time in Glimmerbrook at a retail location I have there.
Edit: Oh, it just occurred to me, the Sim I'm seeing it happen with is a witch, who uses the transportalate spell by default. Maybe the game is showing walking animation, but choosing her routing as if she is going to just transportalate there.
