More Awesome Than You!

JM Pescado,
I'm hoping to get some support and convince you to release this fix...

Probably most of you noticed that issue with doors getting stuck in use when placed next to stairs tiles or other objects; not being a real player I didn't until recently, when working on my spiral stairs. So as a workaround I butchered the footprint, but JM Pescado mentioned that he made a fix for that (of course he did!) - except that Fat Gwilly People didn't ask for it yet :)

Well the issue is "solved" on my side, if not satisfyingly, but I shouldn't be the only one to think that this fix would be really useful?

I know what you mean, I have houses (downloaded ones, not mine) which have a one-tile wide corridor, and sims will go all round the house to get to the next room rather than go through the doorway 2 tiles away - I even got rid of the door and knocked down that one-tile of wall, but they still chose to go the other way!  (When I checked the door they had just come out of, it was apparently closed and there should have been no problem.  I even tried moving the door altogether, but whereas in an unplayed version of the house this was all I needed to do, once the house had been played, something was obviously preventing my sims from going past it, so I imagine I was getting the "door in use" problem too.

I don't think that's the same issue - in this  case, the doors just stayed open but the sims went through just fine. When trying to remove the doors, I got the "can't delete object in use" message.

I think I know what you mean.  I would get this even if I put a ceiling lamp up within 1 square of the door.  Once the lamp was moved to a "safe" two squares away, the door worked again.  I never saw this as a particular problem.

Props on the spiral stairs, bb. We were talking about you in RetardoLand.

Except you're not a Fat Gwilly Person. The rules are that only Fat Gwilly People have this power. :P

The way I "fix" this problem is by replacing the door with an archway.  :P

Yes, works fine in case you don't need a real door. Well it seems that the issue doesn't bother many people, I'm probably seeing it bigger than it is because I had to find a solution for closed stairwells. :)

the front door to the grunt household never closes seeing as the very first thing buzz does is go out it to terrorize ripp. now logically i know this poses no real problem, but since seasons came out i keep hearing him bitching about the air conditioner. it sends me into fits of giggles when he races out the still open door to gripe at someone.

/me jumps up and down
Release fix!  Gwills want shiny!
