Stuck Sim
Lmbroz:
One of my kids asked dad to instruct her in using the surgery center (medical career reward). They headed over to it and she stood there and then he wandered off to do something else. When I clicked on her, she still had ask for instruction in her queue, but couldnt' do anything. I tried to cancel out the ask for instruction, but the box is stuck there with a red X through it. I can't get her to do anything else and no one can interact with her. I am sure that moving them out, and then back in would fix it, but I have a lot of career rewards, aspiration rewards, and masterpiece paintings that I would prefer not to loose. Any other options for fixing this?
Thanks!

Ooh I had that problem once when I first got the game! I'd like to know why and how to fix it too in case it happens again.
(A housefull of sick adults and teens, plus twin screaming toddlers was not a great introduction to the Sims2 world, IMHO. Especially when one of the sick teens got 'stuck' trying to pick up the screaming toddler. All I could do was exit to the last save and go back in that time).

Have you tried deleting her with moveobjects on? You can also use boolprop testingcheatsenabled true to force an error on her and reset her. If you delete her, she will be standing by the mailbox when you save and reload the lot.

I've had this happen with a fingerprint scanner that somehow got corrupted. Poor sim would stand there motionless no matter what. I had to delete him, save/exit, and come back. Then delete the corrupt scanner and replace it, since it would just happen all over again.
Of course, I found it odd that when I would re-enter the house, the sim ended up at the mailbox (as expected), along with his thinking cap, but the scanner was waaaaaay off at the far lot portal.

I had the same thing happen with a sim who was studying from the bookcase. I have no idea why this happened but using moveobjects on/delete/save/exit worked for me. If you do end up having to move the family out for some reason, I would use Inge's keep objects bush to save everything in the house and then get back any career reward objects you had with the buyable collection from J.M. I wouldn't consider that "cheating" if that's what you are worried about since you're just replacing objects you had already earned.
