Curious zombies getting through gate?

[Janna]

I'm not asking for help in how to stop it, just wondering, is anyone else having zombies getting through the gates into a yard? 

I don't have a garden, but they seem to like coming in and if no one is there to attack, they swim in the pool. 

I thought they couldn't open gates, they don't try to get into the house, just the yard and head for the pool, stopping if someone is outside and do an attack. 

Not a bright idea,    my witch sim just turns them into toads.

You don't mention whether you have the gates locked, but that could explain it. Also, I've discovered that if the area enclosed by the fence is too large, zombies will spawn inside the fence.

It is a funny image, though I bet the zombies just swim like normal sims.

I don't have the gates locked, and it is a large yard.  They don't spawn in the yard, the just walk up the gate and come right in. 

Weird, I need to see if this happens in another town, my family will be jumping in about a week (sim week)  so I can check and see if it happens there also.

At present they are in DV.  I will post a picture of one on the slide, I don't think I took any of where my witch turned a couple of zombies into toads.  It looked so funny when they are doing that zombie walk, she pulls out her wand and they stop and go and stand back so she can curse them.
