Car missing after NL Patch

(1/4) > >>

RainbowTigress:
So we know that sims get reset after installing an EP or patch.  This usually means sims at work or school are sent home.  Well, I guess I should have made sure all my sims were home before installing the patch but I was in a hurry.  I did back up my hoods, but I have been playing Uni the past few days since getting the patch.  I graduated a sim and moved her back home, and I notice that her mom is standing in the front yard dressed for work.  I think, no problem, I'll just have her drive back to work.  That's when I realize she drove to work that morning and her car is nowhere to be seen.  I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but is there any way to get the car back?  I guess I'll just have to kaching the cost of the car and replace it. *sigh*

EDIT:  Okay, now I feel dumb.  After I took pause off, the car magically reappeared in the driveway.  So just disregard the above.   :-[ :P

I've had similiar "duh" moments with my car as well. Almost all my houses are on a foundation so my garage is actually a level below my "ground/first" floor. When my sims are moving around on the lower level (not in the garage) and my view is towards the garage, it looks like the garage is empty. Several times now I've gotten upset that the car must have been stolen and I missed the little animation, only to find that if I move to one level lower (the foundation level) I can suddenly see the car in the garage.

RainbowTigress:
Thanks for sharing that. :)

 I had something like that after I installed the patch,  I had a white car sitting in my driveway and it was the only car in the family  but this message kept popping up " a vehicle is trying to return to this lot but first you must put in a driveway"   so I had to delete the current car and driveway and then I put in another driveway and when I looked outside the red chop hocky car was setting in their driveway,   I was bizarre.    It only happened on lot though.

Got someone in the family in the Criminal career??  Hehe!

Ok, I suspect this is something that might happen if you had a dream date recently.  Your dream dates tend to bring expensive presents.  I've gotten the expensive TV a couple of times, a DJ booth and the new waterfall fountain.  It wouldn't surprise me if one of your dates tried to bring you a car.

I assume no one was returning from work at the time.
