Sims can't get in their House

[zudeka]

So 5 days into game ... 3 sims very close to the top of their professions......and all of sudden they can't get into their house! They have had the house (my build) since the beginning - and I haven't changed it in two days.   All I get is the footsteps and 'no go' bubble with arm flapping annoyed sims.

So I brought showers, beds, toilets into the yard and they use them!  I had two kids inside house. Asked on of them to come out - no problem. But now the kid can't get back in.  My garden is almost ready to give me a cowplant - so I hate to leave the lot.   Any ideas?

Save as into a new file.

Then try restarting the game. I had similar pathing issues (my sim couldn't get to another sim who was standing in the middle of a room with LOADS of space around her) and a restart seemed to fix it.

Thanks I tried that  -  but it didn't work for me.  And I tried moving some walls around thinking it might reorient everybody.  Then I tried moving and resetting the front door.  Finally, to keep every one alive - I moved all the essentials (fridge, beds, showers, toilets, etc. out onto the lawn!  They used all as though it were in the house  - except they got 'embarrassed'.  Once everyone was green again, I 'travelled them' all to Oasis Springs from Willow Creek. Then I brought them back one by one.  That worked!!

And they are so glad to have their indoor plumbing back!!!!lolol

Glad it's working for you again!

Oh well. The odd bug on launch is to be expected.

I had the same thing happen earlier and it seems the solution is to travel away from your home lot and then travel back. It happened to me when I had a character away from home and one still at home. I switched to the one at home and tried to recall the other back. When she got back, she couldn't enter.
