Can't set front door for Penthouses

Hello,

I am a Korean speaker. Please understand that some expressions may have originally sounded unnatural because I used a translation tool.

I am currently living on the Torees Amanecer lot in Ciudad Enamorada, which was added with the Lovestruck Expansion Pack. Even after testing the lot without any CC or mods installed, I discovered that I am unable to set a front door. Because of this, when friends or neighbors come to visit, they enter my house and wait inside until I invite them in.

There is no option available to designate any door as the front door. Sims behave as if my lot does not have a front door at all. However, the mail carrier delivers the mail and does not enter the building afterward.

I would like other Sims not to freely enter my house, and I want only one specific door to be recognized as the front door.

I have saved and uploaded the tested lot to the Gallery.

All shared lots are Torees Amanecer, and the most recently uploaded lot is the one shown in the attached screenshots.

For testing, I deleted the The Sims 4 folder from the EA directory and started a completely new game. Due to insufficient simoleons, I moved in without furniture. Afterward, I purchased and placed only a few essential items (toilet, shower, bed, refrigerator, and easel) and then attempted gameplay. I did not modify any other furniture, walls, elevators, or structural elements. I would like to emphasize again that this test was conducted without any CC or mods.

Photo Description:

Situation: After moving in, neighbors came to visit my home.

A neighbor entered my house and is waiting inside for my invitation.

When clicking all three exterior doors, no option appears to set a front door. If the front door setting were available, there should be options to control visitor permissions for friends and neighbors, but these options do not appear.

During testing, I confirmed that in other houses in San Myshuno, the front door settings menu properly allows control over visitor access for friends and neighbors.

When searching for similar issues, I found that this error frequently occurs in penthouses. Please fix this issue.

    I'm checking with a community manager if this is a bug. 

    I think there was a thread before that was called as design for penthouses. 

  • Hi 000yul000​ 

    • Do you have a residential or an residential rental lot on your penthouse lot ?
    • To be sure, you checked all other penthouse lots and it's just this one ?
  • Vanilla test game. No CC. No mods.

    So far as I know, you can't set a front door for a penthouse lot. Not sure if this is new or not. Not sure if this intended or not. 

    And yes the Welcome Wagon Neighbors just comes in. 

    The issue with Sims just wondering in may to have gotten worse. All of my San Myshuno penthouses are community lots, so I'm not really up on that. It might be related to NPC Sim invades homes.

    Same as the other thread below. All other penthouse type houses have no front door setup.

    If the bug is fixed, how can I know about it?
