Have you tried scouting your friends house with your gamma cranked up?

Yes you are correct. The family is a blessing and a curse.
-Wife holds some of your cash (Half I believe), so if you get robbed you can use her $ to fix your house.
-No wife, no family safe path needed but also no safety net of funds.

Also if you view a tape your backpack is emptied into your vault. I don't mind robberies while viewing tapes but having to go back into my house to get my tools I already had is a little annoying, especially if your house is being robbed and you have to wait ages to get in.

OHHH pets can trigger the panic button? I thought it was family only... ohh the instant thoughts of evil traps!

Sounds like a lot of extra work and would probably cause more issues than it would solve. With regard to disappearing houses tho, I write down all the names of people that successfully rob me. The one person that made it through due to a fault of my own is on the list. However the ones that magicly picked the right path vanished and have never reappeared.

I had a disconnect due to the lines being upgraded to fibre and it happens on and off. Cant remember how much I lost but I just rebuilt and moved on. Its easy to make another 20k or so.

Watch your cash. There have been a number of people (including myself) that have been robbed multiple times once your cash hits a certain amount. Some person will come in and magically pick the perfect way through without scouting. Then they disappear off the list of names.

The way to fix that is to replace your last wall with a different material.

That was the experiment. Once you get through that first section I have made a second section using the screen movement limit as I did in the first. What they always seem to do is only open correct doors or walk the correct path and only make a couple of wrong choices but only easy to deal with ones. If given a huge number of options and only making 2 wrong choices which are supposed to be more distractions that anything... it seems like something is up.
That house was designed like a combination lock. If someone got the first part I would change the combination to the whole house. I also changed it before I went to bed and also after I got up. That way even if someone was scouting over and over they couldn't map it correctly. I used this same system of changes with my last 2 house designs too. Hit 50k and BAM perfect walk through.

I'll re-set up the start now. Didn't want to accidentally kill you off while you were helping.

Just changed my house a little for you to look. Now its safer. You will be sweet as to pop in have a look and leave again. but stay away from door behind a door. I have just over 3k at the mo. don't venture too far just to be safe but you should be able to see what I mean by even if the shroud was removed you cant see through it.

wow this is getting so frustrating... every time I hit 50k I get 1 person get through my whole house perfectly without scouting it first.... luck seems a bit off now. Happens EVERY time I hit 50k

Sounds more like a windows issue than the game issue. I remember a similar thing with a different game but was actually able to be used as an exploit.
