flamingos as gates.
I have discovered something funny and perhaps useful until we got good lockable doors.
A flamingo statue can be used as a sim operated lockable gate that is one way only, this also work at community lots.
Take a one tile wide passage between two fences, make a bend on the passage and place a flamingo statue in that corner, the direction arrow on the statue show the way you can enter, you can not kick down the flamingo from the other side.
You will need two flamingos after each other because if a sim kick down one the gate is open, but they very seldom down two and they also put them up.
The easiest use of this is to trap sims, simply kick down the flamingos enter call the victim, exit and put the flamingos back. Warning if some other sim put the flamingo back you are also trapped.
To lock yourself inn, useful for public woohoo there you cant block the gate in build mode you need one or better two enter flamingos and one exit. To enter kick down the enter flamingos go inn and kick the exit one, get your lover inside and put up first the enter flamingos and last the exit, to leave kick down the exit flamingo.
