Also get the "Bamboozle" doors from MTS2 - they are Maxis doors which are modded so visitors and delivery personnel won't notice them. Just be careful to only install those which are compatible with your game.
The "Bamboozle" doors strip the category flags from the door so that they are not fully recognized as doors. This can potentially have negative side effects, and this approach is not recommended.

The frontdoorhack works for most situations, but I've found that if I build a house on a foundation with a basement backdoor there is just no way to keep dates from waltzing in through the front door, walk through the house and put their flowers at the rear entrance. In the end I just decided to stop building like that.
Potential workarounds for this will be looked into. I already added a kludge to the hack so that it will avoid side doors to garages ages ago, will look into how to identify basement doors in code.

Well, JM, I never had any problems with the Bamboozle doors, and I have the front door hack in as well. In fact, where I had a back door (Maxis) that my sims were ignoring for some reason, often they would use the Bamboozle door when it meant a shorter route. And it did seem to stop visitors from going through the garage and then being unable to get to the front door because the garden gates were locked!

Jordi's Antipedestrian doors are a must for me:

A while ago, I read that Sims will be drawn to the first door you put on a lot. Since then, I've always made sure the front door is the first door I build, and in combination with Pescado's frontdoorhack, this seems to work for me.
ZephyrZodiac:
So if you remodel a Maxis house, you should remove all the doors, then replace them, starting with the front door? If you just replace the front door, then they'll be drawn to the back door instead?
