Question about locking gates
« on: July 05, 2016, 11:23:59 AM »
If I lock my gate so only household members are allowed in, are services (mail men, newspaper delivery, pizza, etc.) still able to get in? Or do I need to have my mail box and other things outside my gate? I mainly want a locked gate because I'm finding it very annoying how random sims are wondering onto my lot and taking a very long time to leave. Since they are just on my lot and not in my house, I don't have the option to ask them to leave.


Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my first time playing and only been playing for maybe two weeks, so there's still a ton I don't know.

You know, this is a good question. Every time I've had a fenced yard with a locked gate, I've put the mailbox outside the gate. So I'd be able to get mail.

However I suspect that no one will be able to get in except for your own household, if that is what you have it set for.

I am certain that burglars can still get in even if gates/doors are locked. But I'm not sure if that extends to services as well

Burglars and repo-men can get in, but I seem to recall repair people being locked out and complaining.
