OFB Community Lot Car Bug
FatedCircle:
I think I had this problem. I was at a community business with my owner sim and 4 playable sims from the family, they had used a family car to get there. I can't remember if I ever saved and exited with them on the lot, but I'm thinking I probably did. When I went to have them leave, they all got into the car, but it just sat there, nothing happened. I thought maybe I had a few stragglers who hadn't gotten the memo it was time to go, but there was no one on the lot, everyone was in the car, but it wouldn't move.
Force Error: Reset only made the car drive up again, it was still stuck, no one could get out, and it wasn't going anywhere. Force Error: Delete, however, fixed the problem. The car and the owner (who was driving) were deleted, and my 4 playable sims were standing on the side of the road. They were able to call a taxi and go home. When they got home, they came home in the family car, with the owner driving it. So all was good.
I had the owner go back to the lot, and all was fine. Live mode was enabled, and everything looked normal. I had him get back into the car and go home, and it worked fine. Although, he went alone, I didn't have him go with family members that time. If I encounter this again, I'll report back, but that's been my experience.

I have this happen every time I use a taxi. The cars work fine for me. But yes, I did the same thing as FatedCircle. I did a Force Error on the taxi then hit delete. I was then able to call a new taxi and go home. I have been to this lot since and played my business and all is well if I use my sims car.
I am starting to think this has to do with the open/close sign. Someone on the BBS said that their sim was stuck in the closing loop at their home business lot after they closed. Couldn't get them to stop blowing the whistle and shouting for people to leave.
Simlover:
I haven't so much had the problem at work but on my sim returning home from work (in taxi at time) her stepfathers carpool was stuck and the taxi kept ramming it up the bum (which I have to admit was kinda funny) however force error> reset worked in this case.
cwykes:
I've come across a couple of posters who've had problems. I can ask them to try things - what do you want/need? My own game is still stuck in London with my daughter who has never mastered the art of posting things Aaarrggh! Here's the only post I can find right now. I told her not to touch the lots, but wait for the patch.

As she had a taxi maybe it's unrelated. But the other post I can't find was also about a taxi.
miramis:
What steps need to be taken to get this car bug JM? I've been playing in my test hood sending the twins back and forth from the community lot to their house, and to other community lots but everything is normal so far. Am I supposed to save at their business lot or something before sending the car home?
