I’m seeing quite a few garages that when I try to use the mechanical winch nothing happens instead of the door opening. Is it intentional that some don’t work and I’m just seeing an example of RNG in action?

Think that is a pain in the ass. How bothersome you will find half the buildings don’t even have a winch to open the door lol

You get a perfect condition car once in a while and you either plow through the wall or you destroy it some other way. I was rather hoping these things would be fixed. Thanks for letting us know.

Talking about garage doors that you can’t open, ones on house garages anyway. Would it be possible to have a garage door that you can lock pick to open, if it’s locked that is?

Something like this:
