Such a helpful and wonderful mod!
I cannot thank you enough, this is simply amazing! I am now able to live in my clothes store! The shop is on the bottom floor and I have 2 floors above where my sim lives, I've got a hallway downstairs with a door coming from the shop floor, and with the mod only my sims are able to go through the door, none of my employee's, customers, anyone! As soon as my sim has closed the store she can go upstairs and get some sleep, rather than having to travel back to a different lot. And I can also have toilets that are for either male or females only! It's great, thank you ever so much! ^^

OK, this is just a guess, but I think maybe you're not enabling the lock filters. After enabling the lock, choose "Enable Lock Filters" and then "Set Filters" and you should see the Retail option.

I'm planning on redesiging the menus soon to make it easier to use (less menus to bounce through). Not sure when I'll have the time, but it will happen.

ETA - "Redesiging?"?! I'm also planning on learning to spell one of these days...


Weird, I don't get the Lock Filters option, or Set Filters.

@bleakraven and @smurfbunkern did you enable script mods in the Options menu? Enable script mods in the "Other" options (restart the game) and you should have these two files in your mods folder: "MTS_Scumbumbo_DoorLocks_v2a.package" and "MTS_Scumbumbo_DoorLocks_v2a_Script.zip."

Also, make sure the files are not buried in sub-folders or the game will not see them (unless you've edited the config file accordingly.)

Hope this helps. This mod is too awesome not to have :-)

I have both those files in my mods folder but there are still no options when I click on doors in-game. I also already have the script mods enabled in my game options. I feel very sad haha

Edit: fixed it!! I had to have both of the files in my Mod Manager. hurray!

The mod works, I like it. Problem: I created a gay bar (put the gender filter on the front door) but didn't get over to the lot fast enough when I went back into live mode. Don't know why, but the entire neighborhood decided to crowd into my little bar. Fantastic that it was popular, but I didn't get to put the filter on the door quickly enough in live mode before women got in. All that great electronica music, 4 bars, and a swimming pool out back, I guess...
Anyway...
In Sims 3, you could buy a gender door and install it in build mode. Is there anyway to attach a script on a build mode object? I know now that I need to be fast when getting a new community lot set up with a filtered door, but having it available in build mode would help.

I can totally understand if it's not technically possible... was just curious.

The pie menus will only work in live mode, there's no way to make them work in build mode, but custom content object designers can create new doors that work similar to the bathroom doors add-on which are pre-configured to a specific lock setting. That was the main resason for that add-on, to serve as a demonstration of how that can be done.

I'm apparently too stupid to install this even with the mod manager xD
The pie menu is there but it doesn't stop the damn customers coming in my staff room!

This is awesome and something I know many players have been waiting for. Would it be possible to do the same type of settings for an entire lot? Or by profession and or trait?

OK, the screenshot of the mod install made it clear, you've got version 1b of the mod. The customer/employee locks were not added until version 2. Uninstall that version of the mod and get the newer v2a download.

I installed this but it didn't work - is it only for certain types of doors?

I'm not 100% sure I'm following the bug report, but if I understand the situation you're describing it doesn't sound like this should be happening -- but the mod logic may indeed be flawed for this case. I'll try and reproduce the bug and if I need clarification I'll let you know.

ETA - Yuck, I did exactly what you suggested and got the same results. Not sure exactly what is causing this, it only happened the first time I switched back. You don't need to restart the game, it straightened back out for me after saving and switching to manage worlds and restarting that household. So for those who aren't following this, here's exactly what I did:
  • Loaded up lot "1", owned by sims "A" and "B"
  • Set a visitor lock on a door in lot 1, worked fine
  • Had sim "A" travel to lot "2", owned by sims "C" and "D"
  • Set a visitor lock on a door on lot 2, worked fine, kept sim "A" out
  • Switched control to sim "B", and she was now locked out of the visitor doors on lot 1, even though she was a lot owner
  • Saved game, exited to manage world and restarted that household choosing sim "B"
  • She could now go through the visitor doors on lot 1 normally
  • Switched to sim "A" and he was still locked out of visitor doors on lot 2
  • Switched back to sim "B" and she could still use the doors properly on lot 1

So it just happened on that first time, when the sim actually travelled to another lot, after that it was fine. Still a bug and I'll try and figure out what's going wrong.
