Doors stop working
Ever since the last patch, doors on my residential lots randomly stop working. I had this trouble a while back but it appeared fixed when I picked the game back up several months ago. It happens on both Maxis built lots and ones I built myself--MOO was not used. Sims have used a door just fine to enter a room only to be unable to use the same door again less than a game hour later. Sims throw up the pathing error thought when it happens. It happens in both Oasis Springs, Willow Creek, and Henford-on-Bagley and to different styles of doors and gates. It happens on doors that are not locked. Sim age does not seem to matter. It happens on well decorated lots as well as sparsely appointed ones, established households and newly created.
Demolishing the malfunctioning door of the moment and immediately "undoing" that action seems to correct the issue for a time. I had to "fix" the same door multiple times in a single three hour session on one lot yesterday--a bathroom door in the original Caliente home in Oasis Springs, as well as two other doors, once each, on the same lot. I actually replaced the repeat offender with a completely different style door after the second failure and that new door did the same thing about twenty minutes later. I do not use any mods nor CC; I only have base game and Cottage Living installed. I purchased CL last week and it happened both before and after installing CL.
I am aware this was a known issue in the past but all the information I have found suggests it was a mod or CC issue which is absolutely not apropos to my situation.
