EXCLUSIVE!!! Sim Scoops Lottery Jackpot!!!
Ancient Sim:
Well, my Pleasantview is getting weirder and weirder. One of my campus lots has some sort of bug and nobody can move out. Moving back to Pleasantview won't work, neither will Find Own Place. It was fine when one Sim moved out, but after that it broke. Nuking stuck move-outs doesn't work, nothing does.
The last Sim to move out successfully was Martin Ruben. When Jane Stacks graduated he moved her straight back in and they had twins. Martin continued to study and as soon as he'd graduated and gone, it was time for Allegra Gorey to leave, but she couldn't (no YA's move out of any lot automatically anymore unless they have parties, they have to manually call for the taxi). Anyway, Allegra couldn't move out, nor could she find her own place, which I'd been trying to get her to do ever since Jane moved back in. In the end she went when I made her Unselectable, although when I hit "Restore Family" to try to reset the lot, she came back.
Needless to say, I couldn't move Jane out either. If I tried to get anyone to 'Find Own Place' it would say I had to wait as someone was in the process of moving out. Once I'd asked them to leave, they became semi-controllable. When asked to do something, they would walk a few paces then cancel the action. The Baby Controller was still trying to get Jane to see to the toddlers, but she couldn't.
I went to the main neighbourhood and moved Martin into his own place, then got him to invite Jane over and ask her to move in with the twins (now toddlers ready to transition) and Allegra, so the latter could immediately leave and find her own place. When Jane moved in, not only did she bring the twins and Allegra with her, she also brought just short of SIX MILLION SIMOLEANS. I've heard of this happening before, but what on earth causes it? I did hit the "Move Out" button quite a few times, but not enough for the $20,000's to add-up to this amount, if by any chance this is what was happening. It's not the first time I've had former YA's and babies on campus lots either and nothing untoward happened then. There is another couple on the lot, namely Vasyl Hiatt (former dormie) who is still studying and his former YA girlfriend, Beatrice Broke (eldest daughter of Dustin & Angela), so I will see what happens when Vasyl moves out and gets Beatrice to join him. Maybe she will win the lottery as well.

It happened to me with the Curious brothers. I wanted to separate them, and move them all to the family bin.
Then I made a CAS female, put her in a house, and teleported Pascal with Inge's teleporter. My sim proposed to Pacal to move in, and he brought 2,800,000$.
I made another CAS sim, teleported Lazlo, proposed him to move in, and he brought 5,900,000$.
Vidcund brought 1,700,000$.
But it was done with a cheat, not as your case...:).

This happened to me, too, and under similar circumstances. The only way I could get the graduating seniors out was to have someone invite them to move in. The sim moving in brought 4 million+ to the sponsoring sim. And at that point, I had no hacks whatsoever (a situation I remedied later). But that one's not a glitch I mind having :D

Wow -- that lottery effect is really something! You may not want to fix the "problem" if it has that kind of payoff, but if you do .... I had similar problems, and could not fix with the FFS Lot Debugger, but was able to with the TwoJeff's fix -- reference this thread here:

Edited to add: I see, on second look, that you participated in that thread :D but I'll leave this here for reference anyway.

One way to fix the "someone is already trying to move out" bug is to have a mod that lets you "remove visitors" from the lot, like Danny's teleporter (the yellow thing) from DMA sims. I'm sure there are other things that do it, but that's what I use. For some reason when a sim moves out, the game seems to think they are still there.
