[BH] Sims entering closed business/won't leave

Random sim spawns on closing business and walks into the apartment above with no option to make them leave

(Version 1.113.291.1020 DX11)

Basically every single day i close my business in the new expansion, a random sim spawns (right after closing usually!) and sprints into my apartment located above the business. 

Locking the door does nothing, even locking for everyone. They walk into the house and use the firdge to eat my food instantly almost every time. Removing the doors to the apartment makes them just idle inside the closed business. The moment the doors are placed they sprint inside.

They dont have the option to "send home". I cannot make them leave.

The workaround for now is to reload the game. But this happens 100% of the time, every day i close my business. So its extremely annoying having to full reload the game every single in game day. If relevant, the sim owning the business also has a fulltime job as an artist with Patron of the Arts Branch. The bug wasn’t happening from the start, maybe after the business was 2-3  stars?

No amounts of gates/doors helps. Setting apartment as employee only doesnt help. the only solution is removing the doors, they have access to walk into anything they want no matter the restrictions.

No mods are installed.

Owned dlcs are:

BH, GrowingTogether, CL, RoM, Parenthood, Crystal Creations, Nifty Knitting, Laundry day, Mordern Luxe, 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

  • Having the same issue, its happening only with werewolves. Two specific werewolf sims won't leave after closing and enter both business and private areas, eat my food, sleep in my sims beds, take bubble baths... (the hair in the tub is unreal!) It happens every time they come to the business.

    This is happening to me too but with GTW. When I close my retail store half of them leave and the other half just stay inside talking to eachother.

    Mine was caused from the Zerbu spawn mod if anyone has that remove it and see if it works.

    Had this same problem. Also, the Adventure Awaits feature of teaching a pump it up class is not working at all.

    Still happening with newest update 2.21. Lily Zhu has been living out of my house/business, and eating my food for 2 sim days now. Nothing I have tried will make her leave. I play on console. No mods.

    Yup, seeing this issue myself. For some reason, my small business doesn't attract werewolves other than Lili Zhu, but she just makes herself right at home, even entering "Employee only" or "Residential" parts of the building. 

    As a test, I changed the business to fix the clientele to werewolves only, which attracted every werewolf in the game (there weren't many). I stayed open for a while, then closed. Some actually left afterward, but Lili, Rory, and I think Wolfgang (forgot to check before closing the game) stuck around.

    Mods were turned off for the test.

    Mine too, i closed my business (on my home lot) and although they dont come into my residential area, they dont leave the business area no matter how long my sim continuesher every day life. They stay there peeing on the floor and complain they're tired. There is nothing blocking them leaving (they all walked in freely enough)

    I am on console so have no mods

    Same!! Im so tired of Lily Zhu (werewolf)!!! She get stuck everywhere, even when all doors are locked. All i can do is be mean to her and slowly get her closer to the door and build walls around her. 

    No mods or cc
