Car missing after NL Patch
Ancient Sim:
I got the message today about a car wanting to return to the lot, but all 3 cars belonging to the family were on the driveway. I deleted one and another appeared, which apparently belonged to one of the residents. Then on another lot there is an identical car to the one owned by the teenager living there parked in the road. It can't be clicked on or deleted, even with moveobjects on. Luckily she went to college tonight and I'll be bulldozing the lot. Both these things have happened since I installed the NL patch.

When objects get versioned (like they did in the patch), they get "reset." To be safe, when a car is reset, it falls back on creating a new one of itself. These anomalies should only happen the first time you load a house with a car after a patch or new EP installation. After that, the cars should work the same as before.

I had a recent "duh" moment myself. I was looking around at the lots from the neighborhood, trying to decide which house I wanted to play. I glanced at the house of Cassandra, her husband (created sim) and their twins boys and panicked when I didn't see their red minivan in the driveway. Mystery was solved when I entered the lot, hubby Mitch was at work. ::) Boy did I feel dumb, but at least now I know that the car won't show on the lot from the neighborhood view if I save & quit the lot while one of the sims is at work and they use the car (not the carpool) for their transportation.

My favorite is when the car is invisible. I've had sims back out of the driveway and drive off in their invisible cars. You can see the sim but not the car. Too funny. :D

I've had that happens several times now. Reminds me of Wonder Woman and the Invisible jet. ;)
