[BH] Sims ignore Door Lock settings at house after starting a small business

Platform: PC (EA app)
Mods: YES and I updated ALL and tested in other PC, without Mods too
Game version: 1.117.221.1020 

I set all bedrooms' door lock to give a private space to each sims of household. It worked fine until dad sim started a small business. Soon after STARTing small business, sims began to ignore the door lock setting. They walked into other sim's ensuite and made salad in the private bathroom. I set the whole house into a public area (Pink lined) / residential area (Blue lined) in build mode but nothing changed.

The door lock setting worked when sim QUIT the small business, even though didn't SELL the small business lot. And in build mode, the area assignment window and colored area lines no longer automatically appeared at house, as before starting a small business.

Edit By Crinrict: Added missing pack tag to title.

    Hi Eshikiro​ 

    To be sure you also had customers invade the residential space or just the Sim in your household ?

    If it's customers, do they also invade if you don't have the doors locked ?

    Always thank you crinrict​ 

    My sim's house is in Windenburg Island, and Small Business Lot is in Windenburg Windslar.
    So customers can't invade sim's house. 

    I did some more playtesting and found out Door Lock bug isn't just a BH issue, but also a problem with Servants:

    Game start at sims house.
    Lock the room door.
    Buy a another small business venue and go there (automatically).
    Start a small business.
    (doesn't matter currently running)
    Return to the house lot.
    Hires servants such as butlers, housekeepers and gardeners.
    Allow room access to servants.
    Then household sims start ignore door lock settings.
    Unlock door for servants only setting is also ignored.

    Order the red sim to go to the blue sim's room:

     

    Order the blue sim to go to the red sim's room:

     

    When sell the small business, all door lock setting works properly. Even though sim own the small business venue lot.

    Playtest Save
    Household has a small business and a butler.
