Thank you for your help. The problem was my friend didn't have AP and I had poses geared toward mature audiences. Once he obtained AP, my invitation to my penthouse worked perfectly.

Hi @Guest_Cindy777777, If you're encountering issues inviting a friend to your IMVU penthouse while other private rooms remain accessible, several factors could be at play. This guide will walk you through potential reasons and solutions to grant your friend access to your exclusive virtual space.
Understanding Room Settings is Key
The most likely culprit lies within the specific settings of your IMVU penthouse. Unlike its real-world counterpart, an IMVU penthouse is a type of private room, and the same settings govern its accessibility as any other chat room on the platform. Here’s a breakdown of what to check:
Room Privacy: IMVU rooms have three main privacy settings. Navigate to your penthouse's settings to ensure it's not inadvertently set to "Closed," which would prevent anyone, including you, from entering. The ideal setting for inviting a friend would be "Open (Unlisted)," making it accessible only via an invitation or a direct link. A "Public (Listed)" setting would make it discoverable by anyone on IMVU.
Access Controls: This is a crucial area to investigate. IMVU offers several layers of access control that can restrict entry to your room. These settings might be enabled for your penthouse but not for your other rooms. Check for the following:
VIP Only: If you are a VIP member, you may have set the room to be accessible only to other VIPs. If your friend is not a VIP, they will be unable to join.
AP (Access Pass) Only: Some rooms are designated for users with an Access Pass, which is required for content intended for mature audiences. If your penthouse has AP-only items or settings, your friend will also need an AP to enter.
Age Verified Users Only: You may have restricted access to users who have verified their age.
Friends Only: While it may seem counterintuitive, double-check that this setting is functioning as expected. There could be a glitch preventing a specific friend from being recognized.
Troubleshooting Steps to Take
If you've reviewed your penthouse settings and they appear correct, it's time to explore other potential issues:
1. Verify Room Ownership and Status: Ensure that you are still the rightful owner of the penthouse and that your VIP subscription, if applicable, has not lapsed. Losing a VIP membership can affect your ability to manage and access your created rooms.
2. Check Room Capacity: Every IMVU room has a maximum capacity. If your penthouse is already full with other avatars (even if they are not visible), your friend will not be able to enter. Try clearing the room of any other occupants and sending the invitation again.
3. Investigate Your Friend's Account: The issue might not be on your end. Ask your friend to check the following:
Their own account status: Do they meet the VIP, AP, or age verification requirements you may have set for the room?
Blocked Users: Ensure that you are not on their blocked user list, and they are not on yours.
Notification Settings. They may be simply not receiving the invitation notification. Ask them to check their IMVU notification settings.
4. Consider a Temporary Glitch: IMVU, like any online platform, can experience temporary bugs. Try these simple steps:
* Both you and your friend should try logging out and logging back into IMVU.
* Attempt to invite a different friend to the penthouse to see if the issue is specific to one person.
* Try inviting your friend to the penthouse from a different platform, for example, if you are using the desktop client, try the mobile app, or vice versa.
If, after trying all these steps, the problem persists, it may be a specific bug related to that particular room. In this case, the best course of action is to contact IMVU support directly. Please provide them with the name of the room and a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.
By systematically working through these potential issues, you should be able to identify the reason your friend is unable to join you in your IMVU penthouse and get back to enjoying your virtual space together.
