More Awesome Than You!

I set up a room where the only entrance was the secret door bookcase. I placed APO inside the room and set it up. Everyone just walked right on in. I fiddled for awhile with the APO settings, but nothing worked, and yes, it was set to 'lock this room'. Finally I deleted the bookcase door and placed a regular door there instead. APO started working immediately.

Did I misunderstand the RTFM? I thought the bookcase was lockable by using APO in the secret room. The Sims can now use it autonomously like a regular door, but I can't get the APO lock to work with it.

"Secret Door bookcase now auto-usable without clicking as a normal door by Selectable Sims permitted by Authorized Personnel Only."

Also, while messing with the APO settings, I tried Lockdown. Very cool. But I couldn't find the "all clear" setting so I ended up deleting APO and buying another one. What option am I looking for, and which menu is it on?

I will take a look at it. You are using the current versions of everything, right?

Thank you. It's working now.

Can you tell me how to do an all clear after doing a lock-down? I can't find it in the menu.

ETA: Is there a way to stop them from coveting what is behind the door?

I finally divided the secret room into 2 rooms. The first room has APO which stops them from coming through the bookcase. The second room behind the secret door has a regular locked door with all items I don't want them to think about behind it. It was the only way to stop them from standing around the bookcase complaining that they want what is behind it.
