My Sim was leaving a community lot with his wife which he owned and ran a business from, upon leaving in his car, the lot hung as time ticked on, the car never fully left the lot. I used the InSiminator options 'Other'-'Enable Save' and the car happily went back to the Sim's residential lot. Upon visiting the affected business lot again in a car, there seems to be no bad side-effects and the lot plays as normal.
1.Tykes Toy Store
2.CAS Sim [husband] Hybrid CAS/Maxis Sim [wife]
3.Custom car- Vampcat's Audi
Husband and wife arrived and left together with gamesaves in between.
i can't believe it! this WORKED. i didn't even remember insiminator had this option-woooo-hoo! it went right to the home screen-like you said. i went back to the lot, saved and left-no problems ;D after all this time of being stuck there-geesh! i tried the lot debugger, to see if it gave me the option to retrieve missing sim, as someone mentioned, but it didn't. i guess it didn't think she was missing-lol! Anyways-thank you VERY much for saying this. Hopefully now my sims can drive to work again. :) i don't know if this would work for everyone since the bug seems to act differently for different people, but it's definately worth a try. Now i'll see if it does it on ALL my lots or just a few or just this one...

The debugger should also have an enable UI option that does the same enable save. You can then see if the lot transitions on its own, and if not, try saving and exiting, then applying the Crowbar.

I have a neighborhood that is pre-OFB. This kind of problem happens quite a bit. There are other little "bugs" in the game, one is detailed in the QA discussion forum about old townies crash my game. My work around is this I go into debug mode after entering the neighborhood and before entering any lots.
It would appear that for some reason this entire neighborhood wasn't updated by the OFB expansion pack. Any new neighborhoods I make have no problems so far except for that restocking fridge bug that is complained about a great deal at thesims2.ea.com website.

for some reason the enable ui option never came up for me ???

It's probably a shift-click option because it's not something you want to always see around, since 99% of the time, it'll be useless and just take up space.
