Change active household during vacation
gilmar:
Can I change to another household in my neighborhood if my current active Sim from another household is on vacation? I want to do this due because each time I send that Sim home, no matter what I try I get the error code 12.
-I've been getting error code 12 often now

That save is (probably) fucked, try playing from a previous save. Your other option is to do something different to what you normally do (stop playing it exactly the same way - make a minor change to the "script" as it were) then save (under a different file name) then try to leave the vacation hood.

No, you can't change households while you're on vacation! How do you even DO that when you're stuck in the vacation hood that doesn't give you a change fambly option?

Actually Twallan's Master Controller has a 'Make Active' option which can be used. I did that a few days ago, and it doesn't seem to have produced any negative effects. Of course, it was only for a short amount of time (30 sim-minutes or something), I can't even remember why. In theory, you can use the option on any sim as long as they aren't homeless.
No idea what would happen is this was attempted for larger amounts of time, i.e. if one were to play locals from a vacation 'hood, say, for 1-2 sim-weeks, especially once your homesim's (that is, the one you sent on vacation) vacation ended.
Edit: I'm quite sure changing to a local family wouldn't exactly help you, since you would have to return to the homesim rather soon. By 'send home', do you mean using the 'return home' option? If so, have you tried waiting for the vacation to simply end? Exactly what have you tried so far?

I've tried to combat the error 12. I returned my Sim home (they are about 2 or 3 days into a 5 day holiday) as soon as I start the game hoping that by starting afresh and having not used the computer much, it might save but I still get that error. After that I tried to save in edit town, change to another household and even played another neighborhood Twinbrook (I managed to save that neighbourhood) but I still get error 12 on mine. However I realized when I tried to save the game in the vacation hood, it could save. It seems that the transition from the vacation hood to my sim hood won't save. I haven't tried to finish the holiday.
