Why do sims just keep walking into my house?!?!

I’m having the same issue. It sucks even more cause people come when my sim is sleeping - so i can’t use ultra speed.

I'm wondering if this is a bug with this latest patch. What is making me wonder this is because this happened to me, but it wasn't even on the same level as anything I have had in the past. I managed to get the sim out of my sim's home and locked the doors. but the problem was that sim just stood around the property, not on the property, but next to it. Even after passing out, getting totally filthy she still would not leave. I ended up going into manage worlds and moved her into another house in a different town than where my sim lives at. The sim I was having issues with lived right across the street from my sim.

Did you try adding the 'private home' trait? Locking doors? I hope it's not a new thing after the patch. That would be REALLY annoying. :/

@LaBlue0314 Ewwww... creepy. I had that happen once with the maintenance. It bugged out the whole lot. I think I had to move the family out and back in to fix it or something along that line. (Or moved them altogether.) Yup, I really hope this will not be a new 'thing' after reading you guys' posts...

I had that problem with one Sim when I first started my game (right after the patch I started a new game). She did leave on her own and not spend the night, but she came over every single day and just let herself in. I gave her a key...and then she stopped coming every day (still every few days though).

My original plan was to take the key back after a day or two, to see if that corrected her automatic-entry thing...but instead my Sim ended up marrying her and now she lives there for real.

Worth mentioning that the one I had a problem with was from a completely different neighborhood (San Myshuno, my Sim lives in Willow Creek). I only had the issue with the one Sim though, not several like you @ChelleJo.

I have that problem and it is very annoying. Also I hate how whenever I invite over a sim they just walk right in instead of knock or wait to be invited inside. :|

Same here - I thought it was because I had a decent relationship with them. I never gave them a key either. Also, the butler hasn't been dismissing visitors either even with the option checked.

Blimey.

Try locking your front door for household members only. You'll have to unlock the door when your sim invites friends over though.

You can now get sims barging in if your sim starts leveling up in fame - they just send a message about how They Knew Your Sim When and then invite themselves over. It's annoying, which I think is the idea. However, if they're just walking in without that prerequisite and without a key, that seems buggy.
