For some strange reason, I noticed they were trying to get into my house via a solid wall vs through the door. I added a second door where they were trying to get in and they've been entering it since.

Although I'm sure that results will vary here. Their pathfinding seems wonky at the best of times.

They love sitting by the fire so put your fire inside. Chances are your house is too small. 4x4 is a good size. Kelvin only sleeps by the fire, he doesn't use a bed. Virginia does if she has enough room to move around in your house.

Edit: Also, some berries would get them to go inside. Set some up in there.

Yeah that sounds big enough but they still need a reason to go in there. Fire, berries, chairs and the bed is pretty much what they like to use.

If there is a fire burning outside they'll probably take the easy route and chill there.

For the first time yesterday I entered my house to find Virginia sleeping in my bed. She snores really loud.

Consider yourself lucky that they don't want to enter your house. They are constantly blocking the doorway and have almost caused me to die a couple times during a cannibal attack jamming me in the door like an o!d 3 Stooges tv clip.

i found that my doorframe was barely, like 1 pixel, too high off the ground, and put one of those half split whole planks down as a single step below the door, that worked for them to go in (in another save i couldnt put the single step in front of the door and so instead placed a regular log like half a foot from the door and set a single step on that to the same effect)

I built a fairly large house and both Kelvin and Virginia would enter and the house off and on.
Maybe its because I built a fire inside. Then again I did sort of trap them, I built a pretty big defensive wall around my perimeter so they couldn't wander the forest.

You can trap them indoors too if you build locks on your doors. Neither Kelvin or Virginia could unlock and open the door in my game play. However if I went exploring far enough from my base, Virginia teleports out of the base to somewhere on the map.

i already build my house on pillers and the door is acessable via stairs, virginia at least actually went inside after i planted some berries inside and put a fire but kelvin didnt :D

If you build on water they will not enter unless there is a path way. In any other situation they will not enter the home. You can still gain friendly with Virginia.
