Door Lock: Guest only enter with fully unlocked doors

Suul suul, I am having an issue where the doors must remain completely unlocked, even a Sim who is invited in cannot enter the house. Usually, I can lock then unlock for household and employees, then guests enter once they are acknowledged/added to group. Now, unless the door is completely unlocked, they stand at the doorway with the blocked path bubble. Once they are welcomed into the home, they should be able to enter and exit without an escort. 

I am on Xbox, obvi no cc/mods. game is up to date. base game, pets, seasons, romantic garden, cottage living, granite falls, laundry day, backyard bash(? waterslides), Island getaway
