Hi @Deniice , @mzhigarina , and @redm , After checking, it looks like there are cases where the door’s direction affects access permissions when placing it. Could you please try changing the direction the door opens and see if that resolves the issue? If the problem still occurs, please share you…

For doors set for the business owner and their employees to enter the npcs still come in.

Really? I changed the settings @Deniice had applied from “owner only” to “owner + employees” and it worked flawlessly :thinking: That’s a really weird bug.

For my business I set the front door & the lecture room to owner + employees only and npcs still continued to come in.

Hi @zoiAddic and @slumbag , could you please share your save files to investigate this issue further? Hi @Deniice , we tested the save file you shared, and after changing the door direction to open outward, we were able to confirm that guests no longer enter based on the door permission settings. …

I did share my save file through the support ticket method

Just to clarify, in my case it’s NOT about a business. It’s a RESIDENTIAL lot. I don’t really consider the issues to be the same.

Come to think of it… you know how The Sims 3 had those gnomes that scare the wildlife off your property? I want a similar sign against Zoi. Like, “This property is protected by Smith & Wesson hand-held anti-trespassing system” :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry that it took so long to test it out for the second time.. But i tried what you did again and now the customers can’t come in! Yess :partying_face: I might have done something wrong the last time i tried it, my bad. But still how am i supposed to know to put the door outwards so that my custo…

Customers keep coming into places they're not supposed to come..
