Using garage access as front door
ElviraGoth:
So that's why my sims keep walking around the house! I wondered why the welcome wagon and delivery people were walking around to the back door! I thought maybe the fences I have on my lots were confusing them into thinking that it was a separate room or something. I have a fence/gate between the house and the garage, and they all walk around to the back, through that gate. They don't use the garage door.
And they don't go to the back door. They just wander into the back yard and stand there.
And that stupid gypsy matchmaker is always wandering around my sims' back yards, too.

The thing that's really pissing me off right now is when I play one of those new NL townhouses that have a staircase leading to the front door. It's that whole "ring the doorbell then carry your ass down the stairs quick" thing, with my poor sims trudging down, then back up the staircase after them. Of course they can't just yell out "Hey! Welcome to my lovely abode". They have to find that perfect position directly in front of the visitor's face before they can greet them. Reminds me of a dog looking for the perfect place to lay a log in the yard. :P

Moon_Ez made a nifty little mod over at MTS2 that is a routing edging type dealio. It is the short edging that you place where you want your sims to walk. You know, you make those lovely little garden paths etc and the sims don't use them, instead walking where they deem the shortest distance. Well anyway, I found that you can use this edging to direct traffic to the front door as well. (or any other direction you choose - death chamber anyone? or block off areas you dont want sims to go)
its called:
"New" Short Mortar White Brick Wall Fence
it comes in standard white and transparent

I just realized I downloaded that edging the other day, and haven't used it yet! Thanks for the reminder.

This reminds me. Sims don't like to walk on gravel. If you need a white gravel walk in front of your house, use carpet instead.
I've got a circular drive in front of one of my houses, and the Sims would avoid it completely when I used white gravel. I changed it to carpet and they are happy to walk on the drive instead of on the grass.
Of course, the circular driveway is useless in Nightlife. <sigh>
