Too secret door?

[LilAbner]

So I'm right in assuming that the double sided bookcase is a secret door, right? But how does it work? My sims just refuse to use it. Whenever I tell them to go into a room with the secret door they just stand outside stomping their feet. I've tried the door both in residential homes and apartment buildings, EA made houses and houses by me, and nothing works. So what am I doing wrong?

You have to click on the door and read the mystery book to get through it, the sims don't do it autonomously.

There is also an awesomeware autosecretdoor hack.  You might try that.

Well, how's Scooby supposed to do that in time to get away from the man in the mask? He doesn't even have thumbs!

Where is the autosecretdoor hack? I don't see it in the AL Director's Cut, and searching the site for "autosecretdoor" only produces this thread as a result.

It's right there in the directory, you can't fail to miss it.

I'm being far too nice:

Ah, thanks. I thought you should do something with the books, but I never got as far as figuring out you should try to read a book. Must have had a real Li'l Abner moment there!
