When I playtested the house I came across a "slight" problem with the doors. While the doors in the basement work just fine and show interactions like "go through door" the doors in the upper levels (and the one in the wine cellar) show "no interactions available", however, Sims CAN go through if you chose an interaction behind the door (e.g. "go here"). I tried to remove things close to the doors, I tried to replace the doors, nothing helped. I failed to find a solution for this problem on the internet. If you have an idea how to fix the doors, please let me know. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Even with this annoying bug it's fun to play with Santa's Secret Village. I only had to unlock two doors (one in the main building and one in Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe) to make the playgame easier because otherwise it would have been too difficult to know which door was locked and which one just didn't offer interactions.
If I should ever be able to fix this problem I'll update this file, however, if I shouldn't be able to find a solution for the malfunctioning doors I'll rather build something completely new (e.g. Santa's Home at the Northpole) instead of rebuilding this whole lot a second time.
Lot Size: 6x6
Lot Price: 445,257 / 236,112
