Sending a sim to the NPC Household?

(1/3) > >>

GnatGoSplat:
My NPCs all have the same ugly faces, so I decided to try changing them, starting with a particular maid.  I tried editsim on the maid, which went well until I clicked Accept and nothing happened. I discovered no other button would work either, they made the click sound, but did nothing.  I was forced to End Task.  Fortunately, I had the foresight to save her to the bin, which led to the bright idea of using testingcheats and "Add Sim to Household", then I was able to bodysnatch.  Using one of the Debug interactions, I was able to do "Make me a NPC".  However, that only made her un-selectable.  Is it possible to kick her ass back into the NPC Household and have her resume her role as a maid?

Claeric:
You COULD just edit her again since that one-time glitch you experienced probably won't happen consistently.

She probably already belongs to the NPC household, but isn't assigned to any particular service. I don't know of a way to add a sim to a service. That is, a way that's available right now. I'll look into it. It's probably easy to do with a scripting mod.

I could, but I had already spent a ridiculously long time on her and would rather not have to do it again.  I'd already tried this once before, it worked, but I wasn't happy with the result so I tried editsim a second time in the same session and it hung at the CAS loading screen.  It seems this particular maid doesn't like being edited.

When I shift-clicked and selected "Add to household", it actually took her out of the NPC Household and added her to the active household.  "Make me a NPC" made her unselectable, but didn't remove her from that household.

...But you saved her to the bin. Editsim, click the bin, pick the saved sim.
