Household members turning into neighbors/ Can't use doors (1.112.519/2.06)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform :PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Unsure
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs have you installed? I have all  
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no idea. I do not know what action made it happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim is listed as a neighbour in her own house. she was in labour, I tried to have her go in the house to have the baby but the order kept vanishing. I teleported her inside and had the baby, I then tried to click her to make her solve hard problems but nothing happened. That is when I noticed the tag.
What do you expect to see? My sim to not be labelled as a neighbour in the house I am playing in and to be able to be clicked on to person "self actions". or can you please add a cheat to remove the neighbour tag.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Just the current event

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit the older bug report on this that's supposed to be fixed.

  • I've been playing with this household for a few months and I've never had this issue.  I even moved him out and back in and I'm still getting this bug and IDK what to do 

  • My sim was put down as a neighbor even though she was a part of my sims household and couldn't get into the house and almost died

    Got this bug to now after the new updates so annoying I can not click on my sim at all and she is refered to as "neighbor" and can not enter her own house. It is weird because she worked fine for the days I played on her (she is my generation sim so I played her since she was born.) but all of a sudden she can not enter her house and is refered to as neighbor. I even went out to the map and got down to klick on her instead of clicking on the house when entering again to make sure she was not bugged travelling. But she was at home and now I can not click on her to make any character interactions and it is new years eve so I wanted to make her have a wish, but can not do that.

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions can be found here. Please also include a link to the thread the save is for.

    Thanks!

  • As the title states, my sim who has been in this household for many sims months, has three kids with his fiancee and is most definitly in my household suddenly got the "neighbor" role as I started my game this morning. Haven't played with this household after the latest update. I have no cc or mods and have never encountered this before. I haven't tried to move/merge any household (this or any other) and i havn't had a neighbor visit for a long time. If I have this sim chosen I can make him do actions as usual, but if I play from his partners perspective I can only "invite in" or "open profile". With testingcheats enabled I can only "reset object" and "cheat needs". Noticed when I made him take out the trash and he could not enter his own house again. 

    They are all in the same household in manage household and cas still. 

    (his mood in this picture perfectly captures my own with this issue)

    to add: game has been restarted, repaired, ea app has been recovered and the issue still stands

  • Recently I sent one of my female sim to university, living in a dorm. I decided to merge another student to play with in the same household and dorm... as I always did in the past and it worked fine...

    There has been several issues that could be link to this. The second sim I sent and merged in the family is tagged by the game as ''neighbor''... one time it was possible to control him and tell him what to do, but when I tried to make him go anywhere on the dorm lot, it would not work and he would have the routing failure issue, despite him previously being able to, I think it happened after a reload of the dorm, or after he came back from the soccer practice... There was also another issue where it was impossible to click on him. I reloaded the game and now I can click on him and have the usual options, he can route everywhere on the lot, but still has this ''neighbor'' tag...

    Please help.
