OFB Community Lot Car Bug
Darkstormyeve:
In Pleasantview my sim drove her car to her community lot business.
All played fine. I saved the game and exited whilst she was still on the lot with her car. I went to bed, got up to play the next day and then everything went weird.
Her house was there in neighbourhood view but no car in the driveway. I clicked to enter her home lot but the game said the family was out visiting her commercial lot where I had left the night before. Fine. So I clicked on her commercial lot and it loaded but only in build mode.
My sim was not where I had left her. She was in street clothes and heading up the stairs to her shop. Pointless anyway as I could access game play. I eventually bulldozed the lot and everything seemed fine after that. My sim's flat mate though has had blank wants/fears ever since though.
I might add that I have never had this problem using taxi's and I can save, exit and re-enter without anything going wrong.

The problem seems to exhibit no consistency, which is why it remains elusive. I'm looking for the specific condition where the lot is frozen with live mode disabled, so it is impossible to apparently leave, and yet also impossible to play the home since it will insist on rerouting to the community lot. Screenshots of this, including notes with whether or not the owning sim or any of his family are present, would be helpful.

This is exactly the condition I was looking for, and matches my single observation. I was able to successfully crowbar the lot, though. If this happens again, refrain from destroying all the lots involved and you can try the Crowbar solution.

i tried this bug out as soon as i first read about it and it happened just like had been stated. i sent a sim to work in their car, closed the business-sent the employees home, and tried to leave. she left-i stayed there. i had saved prior to doing this. i tried other stuff just to see what would happen-like summoning her to another sims house with insiminator, making her selectable, calling a taxi to go to a community lot, n then having her call a taxi to go home. when the taxi left with her-she left-i was stuck at the community lot. i never tried the crowbar thing. i didn't want to risk making it worse. hmmmm
oh- i tried it with a different sim and didn't save and got home fine. i tried going to work with a taxi, saving and leaving and everything was fine. so for me-it seems to happen with the saving at a communityl lot and a personal car only.

Shezoe,
I think the critical point here is that when you leave the community lot and your sim IS STILL THERE, when you try to go back to that lot you enter sure enough, but only in build mode. The lot is no longer playable, only buildable.

Yeah, I think that the crowbar will work, then.
