Door in my house has disappeared

[AlejandroFish]

Door in my house has disappeared, I can't enter my house and take new orders. It was my main save, I don't like this, because I played more 7 hours, and I don't want that I can't play in this save. I want to look for solution of this problem.

Just buy a new door to get acess to interior of your office

u cant buy a new door and replace it, the game registers the door as a part of the outside wall and u cant destroy it or anything

Weird because i bought a new door and get acess to my office again , so i wonder why some people are not able to do it

Same issue with the door being walled over. I was able to place a new door on the back of the house, but can't do anything about the door-wall (can't sell, demolish, paint or anything)

I have the same issue, so I am not able to play the Game

Yeah I got the same problem too, I m locked outside, so there s nothing I can do

I fixed the problem : I placed a door on another wall, and then hit the new door (hidden in the wall) with the hammer, it destroyed the wall, and now I can enter the house

That's interesting, we'll take a close look at your case.

Try doing what Dryzz did, and let me know if it helps you. I understand it's just a workaround but we will make sure to fix this issue.

Exactly this error was the reason for my negative review. Another developer said it wasn't a bug but a feature.
I'll explain to you again briefly what I did. I removed the front door, there should normally be a hole in the wall at this point, but I couldn't see it. The wall was closed. I was still able to place a new front door on the outside wall. But as you can see, the wall was still closed. It wasn't until I hit the door with the hammer that I was able to use the door.

I have the same problem. I entered my savegame and my frontdoor was walled. I needed do put a door in the backwall to enter my house. Then the weird stuff happened.
I put in a new frontdoor, hit the wall with the hammer, the new door was there and the old one still existed. The outer door can only be opened from the outside and the inner door only from the inside. If I stand outside, I can close both doors but can't open them again. Selling the doors leaves me with a nice wall.
Now I'm working from an office with a door in the backwall which can only be opened from the outside and a front door that can only be opened from the inside

There are two issues here. TapZap and Dryzz seem to have the same experience as the other 50,000 people who are just not familiar with the fact that exterior doors now work similar to windows; a wall appears when you remove an old door, you place the ghost image of a new door where you want it, click, a black outline appears (what Dryzz considers the door hiding inside the wall), hit it with the sledge, a hole appears, press E and presto, the new door is in place. That IS a feature. Considering how often this comes up, maybe the devs ought to put up a login message for it.

The bug is that some people had their office front door disappear into the wall under certain circumstances, and they could not place a new door in that same space because the old door was still there, just not visible. That sounds similar to what Torfwolf is experiencing. Could be more than one bug too.

And that is exactly how the feature works. We applied the exact same logic as with the windows. I can fully confirm that this is indeed not a bug.

I'm happy to erase my negative review, but can you please explain why you can't see a hole in the outside wall when you remove the door? That I as a player think that this is a bug is certainly understandable if this is different for all other walls. I would be very grateful for an answer from you.

In House Flipper you're not able to build external walls, you can only destroy and build new walls inside of properties. Because of that, if a player sold a door or a window, and there'd be a hole left in that certain spot, there would be no way to fill this hole. That is why we had to implement an autofill feature for these mechanics. I still see the problem of it not being completely intuitive, so thanks for sharing your feedback... we might think about a way to make it easier to grasp.

Cheers!

Thank you very much for the explanation, as promised, I took back my negative review, even if there are unfortunately still a few ugly bugs, such as the cat that sometimes doesn't lie on the bed, but in the bed. However, I assume that these bugs will still be fixed in order to keep the quality of the game high.
