Door

A door from The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff.


A door is an architectural object in The Sims games.

Doors must be placed on walls.

Some doors have male and female versions, and do not allow Sims of the opposite sex to go through, though they do not appear to affect NPCs. These doors are often used to construct single-sex bathrooms on community lots.

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. 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. Pre-release information for The Sims 3: University Life indicates that doors will be lockable in at least some circumstances.[1]

If an object such as a ceiling light occupies the space a door opens through, it may act to keep the door from closing. Moving the object may allow the door to close.

There is a glitch with both Open for Business and Bon Voyage: sometimes after using a door it will stay open, and never close. This can be annoying, but easily fixed by deleting the door with Moveobjects on and replacing it.

In The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 3: Supernatural , bookcases can be used as hidden doors. Hidden doors are also featured in tombs in The Sims 3: World Adventures.

In The Sims 3: Ambitions, firefighters can use an axe to destroy a door.
