Sim won't use a specific door?

My sims are constantly getting stuck in the bathroom. They will walk in, and be unable to walk out of the door. The only way to fix it is to delete and repurchase the door. However, it only will work once, and my sim will then get stuck the next time they use the bathroom. How can I fix this issue? I've reset the sim that's currently stuck and the door itself, but nothing is working.

    @_oh_my_frick_ Wow... That is so odd. I'm still hoping to test a bit on my lot with one of you guys' homes. Would you be willing to create a bug report for this? At least then the report will be there. I can then have @crinrict or @puzzlezaddict merge the information in this thread to the bug. Then we can still work further on the issue/testing plus see if others are having the issue and gather information for EA to test/address if it is confirmed to be a bug. Once you create the bug report please tag one of us in it so we know to do the merge. Thank you for troubleshooting and helpful information (and the workaround suggestion)!!

  • @SheriGR I no longer have that house. Got frustrated and bulldozed it. If it happens again on any other lot, I'll let you know.
  • I'm having the same issue. My sim enters the bathroom but gets stuck, I either have to teleport them out with the cheat or replace the door.

    I'll try the two door thing. 

    But if a bug report is still wanted I could possibly produce that.

    I am having this bug as well.  Recently updated, repaired, etc.  New game, new family, the house is Rio Verde in Oasis Springs, the issue is the first floor bathroom.  I did push the bathroom in to make it less of a space hog, no MOO used.  They randomly just get stuck in THAT bathroom.  I don't have to sell / repurchase the door, but I do have to go into Build / Buy mode and either just move the door away from the wall for a moment, or "flip" the door front to back and that fixes it.  For about a sim day or so.

    There is a child's drawing / activity table near said door, but it and the door were placed by snapping; no MOO, no using the Alt key for finer positioning.  There are also some bathrobes on the bathroom wall directly opposite of the activity table, but, again, no MOO though I did use the Alt key technique on the robes.  The door in question is the "Simple Single-Panel Door" from the base game.

    I have had "visiting" ghosts possess some of the items in the bathroom, and the toilet was pranked by a visitor.  If I remember correctly, the toilet getting pranked was right about when the door stopped working properly.  Hmm, I wonder if replacing the toilet would fix the root cause....
