Mods relating to doors in The Sims 2. Please see specific subcategories for apartments, bathrooms, bedrooms, bookshelves, cars, laundry, lighting, misc, moving, pools, security, stairs, walls and windows
1.) Frame Of Preference Fix by Cyjon
Correctly marks the “Frame Of Preference” from Mansions & Gardens as an arch rather than a door. Without this fix, the arch can be “locked” and makes a door open/close sound as people walk through it.
2.) Want Pet Only Doors? by MogHughson
Here is a mod that changes the way the locks on doors work just very slightly. Without this mod “Lock for all Sims” will stop all people and all pets from going through a door. With this mod “Lock for all Sims” only stops people going through a door. If you want to also lock the door to Pets (i.e. deadbolt the door so no-one can go through) you must additionally select “Disallow Pets”.
3.) Doorbell Quieter by Pescado
Apartment Life ll Free Time ll Bon Voyage ll Seasons ll Pets ll OFB ll Nightlife ll University ll Base Game
Doorbell is no longer loud enough to wake the dead.
4.) Doorjam Fix by Pescado
Apartment Life ll Free Time ll Bon Voyage ll Seasons ll Pets ll OFB ll Nightlife ll University ll Base Game
Issue where doors could stuck “in use” by lights or stair end tiles. Doors will now properly close and become not-in-use.
5.) Front Door Hack by Pescado
Apartment Life ll Free Time ll Bon Voyage ll Seasons ll Pets ll OFB ll Nightlife
Delivery persons should no longer be irresistibly drawn to the inaccessible door of the mausoleum in the backyard when making their deliveries. Garage doors are not considered front doors regardless of level.
6.) 4 Keyholder Doors by Sim Logical
These doors are set up via their menus and you have to have the wall up to click on the door. The Sim you want to give the key (either resident or visitor) has to be on the lot at the time, but can come and go after that and still keep the key. The door can be set unlocked, when anyone can use it, or locked, when only keyholders and NPCs can use it.
All locking is one-way only, to reduce incidence of non-keyholding Simmies getting trapped in a room they are not meant to be in when you lock the door. Place with green arrow pointing in towards restricted area. Sims will always be free to exit even while entry is restricted. Hack does not work when the door is placed diagonally. This is because when the door is placed diagonally, it actually becomes a different object.
7.) Bathroom Door by Sim Logical
Place this door with the green arrows pointing into the bathroom. When a Sim enters the bathroom, the door locks behind them and no one else, not even NPCs, can get in. When the Sim comes out, the door is left unlocked ready for the next person. Occasionally, if Sims pass each other on the way in or out, the door will be accidentally left unlocked while one is in there. If you then get more than one Sim in the bathroom, each time one leaves they will leave the door unlocked behind them, which means another Sim can walk in on the remaining one, and so on and so on, just like in real life. Any time you want, you can use the door’s menu to lock or unlock it if the Sims have messed things up in this way, but it’s not necessary, it will sort itself out when the last of the bunch leave. Needless to say, this door is not effective in two-door bathroom layouts!
The door has the additional bonus of stopping toddlers entering by themselves, to keep them from the toilet, whilst allowing them to leave freely. This means they can be carried in for their bath, and let themselves out if they are put down in the room afterwards.
8.) Bathroom Door Numenor Glass by Sim Logical
Here is a bathroom version of Numenor’s glass door! (Does not work on diagonal) To use this you must have Numenor’s mesh from MTS2
9.) Color Keys System by Sim Logical
For if you want to divide your Sims into groups not normally recognized by the game, such as Lords and Peasants, or Cowboys and Native Americans (actually up to 6 separate groups). These keys are recognized by TwoJeffs Visitor Controller.
10.) Complete Security Door System by Sim Logical
A system of wall-mounted detectors that control access to individual rooms on a lot. These can be formed into groups that control several rooms as one, if desired. Sims can be excluded or admitted based on name (keyholders) or sim type (age, gender etc), and if you have the Uni EP, you can set up a timer to switch between access levels at different times of the day.
11.) Family Only Door by Sim Logical
Only allows members of currently selected family to pass. On residential lot this means the Sims who live on that lot (not family members from other lots). On community lots, the family who you are controlling have sole use of the door.
12.) Gender & 4 Key Locking For Normal Doors & Gates by Sim Logical
4-Key Locking: Choose keyholders from list of sims by family, or from “On the lot…” if the required Sim is present at the time. Keyholder locked mode comes into play only when the Maxis option “Lock/Me only” is chosen. The sim that was the active sim when locking the door is allowed through in addition to the stored keyholders, so use a keyholder to lock the door if this is not wanted. Please note that unlike my standalone 4-key doors, this door will be locked from both sides. Also, unlike my standalone doors, this is only as reliable as the normal Maxis locking, which as we know sims sometimes ignore and go through anyway.
Gender Locking: allows you to make it into a restroom door by selecting “males only” or “females only”. These options are in addition to the normal options. So if you choose “females only” and then “lock to family and employees only”, the only sims who can use it will be female members of the family and female employees. To remove the gender restriction, use “either gender” from the menu. The “unlock” option does not remove the gender restriction.
These extra options will not appear on any of the four Maxis restroom doors. It will work unpredictably with other door or routing hacks such as Pescado’s APO or my Security/Apartment System. It should work fine with most custom doors that are just new meshes and not hacked.
13.) No Unsetting Routeblock Flags by Sim Logical
If locked doors (hacked or original) appear to be letting Sims see what is behind them and try to get to things, your routeblocking flag may be becoming unset. After installing this patch, you may need to unlock and lock the troublesome door/s again, or even buy them again in order to pick up the change.
14.) One Way Arch by Sim Logical
Place this with the placement arrow pointing the way you want Sims to go. Sims can only enter or exit in one direction.
15.) Push Greet Patch by Sim Logical
Fixes the line of coding that when a Sims rings a doorbell to not go and greet them.
16.) Student Only by Sim Logical
Intended for use in dormitory houses, to stop your invited guests from the home neighborhood escaping into the inaccessible dorms of game-generated students. Use one of these doors to close off the corridor to the bedrooms. When locked, allows only Young Adults and NPCs to pass in one direction while allowing anyone back out in the other direction so that they can’t get trapped. Unlock if and when you do wish free access to the bedrooms. Place with green arrow pointing into designated students-only area.
17.) Targetable Doors by Sim Logical
These doors are set up via their menus and you have to have the wall up to click on the door. The menu allows you to ban various types of Sim, like ban all males, all toddlers, all visitors etc. Then on top of that you can at any time use the menu to unlock the door and let any Sim through, lock it so that no Sim can go through, or leave it in the in-between state so that just your specified types of Sims can use it. Hack does not work when the door is placed diagonally. This is because when the door is placed diagonally, it actually becomes a different object.
18.) Clothes Pay Door by Sim Logical
Each side is set separately. For each side you can set how much money, if any, your current family gets when visitors go through the door in that direction, and what, if anything, they should change into. The nude option is not included in this version, but is available from the adult downloads section at Mod The Sims 2. Although both versions have the same GUID, the adult version has an A at the end of the filename so if you are swapping between the versions you will need to remove the unwanted file.
19.) Clothes Change and Security Door by Sim Logical
For players who do not wish to use a global patch for any reason. This door is dual purpose and acts as the non-global door for the Security (Apartment) System too
