==Locking, accessibility and restrictions==
===Privacy===
In all games doors will lock automatically behind a Sim or Pet when carrying out actions that grant them "privacy", such as using a [[Toilet|toilet]], [[Bath|bathing]] or [[Woohoo|woohooing]]. Other Sims will not be able to enter until the Sim has completed or cancelled the action.
 
=== Locking ===
''[[The Sims]]'' does not include the ability for the player to lock doors, though lockable doors are available as [[custom content]].
While ''[[The Sims]]'' did not include the ability to lock doors, lockable doors were available as [[custom content]]. [[Maxis]] added the ability to lock doors in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]''<ref>This included [[Custom content|custom]] doors, but did not include the [[Dormitory#Dorm life|Myne Door]] from ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', which has its own locking method.</ref> and in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. Doors lock automatically behind a sim and pet in the room during privacy (using a [[Toilet|toilet]], [[Shower|showering]]/[[Bath|bathing]] or [[Woohoo|woohooing]]). Anybody but the initial can't enter and exit the room from there onward. Depending on which game is being played and which expansion packs are installed, a locked door may or may not prevent Sims from being aware of what is behind it and wanting to get to it. Door locking is not necessarily all-or-nothing. In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', playable Sims could knock on a locked '''Myne Door''' if the Sim who had claimed it was in the room it led to. The door locking introduced in ''Open for Business'' and ''World Adventures'' allowed a locked door to be set so that only household members could use it, household and employees{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}}, nobody, anybody but pets or so only the selected Sim could use it. Since the patch of''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', it is possible to set doors so that only certain Sims will be able to use them.<ref>[http://simsvip.com/game-guides/sims-3-university-life/ The Sims 3 University Life Game Guide] at SimsVIP.</ref>
 
The ability to lock doors is first introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]''<ref>This includes [[Custom content|custom]] doors but does not include the '''Myne Door''' from ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', as it features its own unique locking method.</ref> and in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. Doors can be set so that only household Sims, household and employees, or only humans are allowed access. They can also be locked to prohibit all Sims, excluding service [[NPC]]s. ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' expands the feature so that individual Sims can be granted access or prohibited from using a specific door. <ref>[http://simsvip.com/game-guides/sims-3-university-life/ The Sims 3 University Life Game Guide] at SimsVIP.</ref>
 
 
 
=== Dorm room dooors ===
The '''Myne Door''' in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' allows Sims to claim the door in order to secure the room beyond for themselves. The door is typically used in [[Dormitory|Dormitories]] to designated individual dorm rooms. When a Sim claims the door their headshot will appear on the door and only that Sim will be able to modify access permissions for other Sims. Visitors, including NPC residents, can knock on the door in order to attract the claiming Sim's attention.
 
=== Single-sex doors ===
SomeEvery game in the series features doors havewith male and female versionsvariations, and do not allow Sims of the opposite [[Gender|sex]] to go through, though they do not appear to affect [[NPC]]s. These doors arecan oftenbe used to construct single-sex bathrooms on [[community lot]]s. Service NPCs can bypass these doors regardless of their gender.
 
=== Celebrity-only doors===
The '''Zeddy-Lock Celebrity Security Door''' in ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]'' will only allow Sims with 3 stars of [[Fame]] to pass. Sims who do not meet this requirement will experience route failure if they are directed to go into a space that can only be accessed through this door. The door is particularly useful for protecting [[award]]s from being stolen by the [[Obsessed Fan]], who can normally break into houses to steal them but is unable bypass this door.
 
''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'' includes the '''Starlet's Repose Door''' which similarly only allows a 3-star celebrity access through the door. The door and a dressing room will appear on the [[Plumbob Pictures]] studio lot when an actor Sim shoots a film.
