How can i prevent visitors ringing at the back door?

I've found that if you use a double door as the front door, and an "interior" door as the back/basement door, it seems to remove the back door delivery problem.  Any way you look at it, though, the EAxis door system is fucked up.

That's also very limiting in design terms though.  The later (and more complete) door and window sets mostly only have single doors, and it spoils the effect totally to install one of the doubles.  And what about patio doors - you would normally use double doors for those, and patios are normally at the side or rear of a house,

Double doors do not affect anything. There are no special attributes of double doors, they are actually treated mostly as two single doors. Without "front door hack", however, the random object-IDs of the subparts of door (all doors, even single doors, are built of subparts), can affect the door perception differently in different cases. The Front Door Hack unifies door test cases to avoid this.

Inge has a homework-placement mat that you put on a desk or table and assign to a specific sim, which causes the sim to always place its homework on that exact spot.

!! Are you sure?  That's not what I designed it to do.  It's just meant to have a menu to generate some work for the kid to do to get their grades up.  I had no idea it was also making them put their homework down there.

Ack! No, I'm not sure. I haven't used it yet, and that's what I thought it did. Thanks for clearing this up.

How embarrassing.

I think this may be the cause of the confusion:

RESERVABLE DESK
ReservableCheapDesk.zip  (no globals)

Only the assigned owner can put anything on this desk.   

To make it really worthwhile, also download this homework patch   (replacement global), which means when a child has a reserved desk, they will always try to put their homework on it.  I have included as little code as possible in the homework patch, in order to minimise the chance of it conflicting with homework hacks that do other things - but let me know if you seem to be getting problems.

NB The homework patch may clash with homework placement hacks by other creators.
