Using garage access as front door
Motoki:
Generally, the door on the lowest level will count as the front door. Pre-NL this wasn't usually a problem as there tended not to be a door on foundation and another not. I really don't understand why they calculated the garage as a front door but I suppose it's possible someone might build a house with that as main entryway. *shrug*
I actually have one house built on a hillside where the top of the hill connects to what is supposed to be the front door but the game views the one around back on the bottom of the hill as the front door due to it being on a lower level. Pescado's hack didn't solve that issue either so I just dealt with it because I like the house.

I have the same problem in several of my separate house/garage combinations. It is very annoying to have to chase the welcome wagon all over the lawn just to greet them. I usually end up pausing and moving everyone to a central location and hope for the best. It gets quite exhausting at times.

Funny picture, though! Chasing the welcome wagon around.
I'm hoping there will be a lockable garage door at some point.
I have lockable gates all around my lot to keep the stalkers from barging into my house, but they just go in through the garage door. I'm constantly yelling "Oh, you did NOT just do that!" at Daniel Pleasant.
Hook:
I made a Sims house once from house plans with a nice sliding glass door in the back. Delivery people always used the back door, which seemed appropriate for grocery delivery. Visitors seemed like they'd use whichever door they pleased.
It's been ages since I played this house, but I seem to remember walk-by's walking THROUGH the house instead of walking by on the sidewalk. The house was built on a foundation. Too weird.
JM's frontdoor hack fixed the problem nicely.
If nothing else seems to work, try changing the facing on the door. If the arrow points in, make it point out instead and vice versa. I've got a lot of bathrooms with two doors where I have to change the facing on the doors to keep routing problems at a minimum.

Speaking of stalkers, I've noticed the Parent Stalkers that Phonehack fixed in Uni are back now whenever their kid calls you up late at night. Just today Cassandra Dreamer invaded the Burb's house because her daughter called up Lucy and she started playing with their toddler son and his rabbit head toy... >:(
