Error when teen sneaks out

<< < (4/6) > >>

RainbowTigress:
You can have your teen sim ask permission to go out after 8:00 pm, I think it is.  If permission is granted, the sim will go call a friend, and the friend will come pick them up in a car around 10:00 pm.  It's been a while since I did that. 

I had a problem a long time ago that I discussed here with a teen sneaking out or going out.  I got a similar error as ness but with Macrotastics Power Idle.  I disabled Power Idle thinking that was the problem, but after a while, the sleep clock kicked in and the same problem occurred.  The problem was that the teen sim had a want to go out with this friend, and the want wasn't satisfied because the teen would get reset and get teleported to the front yard.  I repeated the scenario many times since I exited without saving.  The teen didn't get in the car, they were just standing on the curb one moment, and they were in the car the next.  And there was no icon in their queue.  I went to another house to see if the teen could go out, and there were no problems.  It was just that one lot.  I finally discovered it was the mailbox that was in the way where the sim couldn't get in the passenger side door.  This only affected the go out/sneak out interaction, not sims getting in the carpool or going to school.  With the carpool, the sim would walk around and get in the back.  I used moveobjects to move the mailbox, and the teen was able to go out properly. 

I have discovered one of the "trailer" type lots near the Brokes' that has a problem with the school bus.  I moved the Burbs in there, and Lucy couldn't get off the school bus.  I had to move the mailbox there too.  Perhaps this is your problem, ness?

Ness:
Rainbow!  I think you're a genius!

Yes, I think the mail box may have something to do with it.  The sim went out and appeared to be standing beside it, then just vanished into thin air, then shortly afterwards I'd get the error and then have to reset the sim to get them back.  Other lots have had teens that can sneak out without problems.  I'll try moving the mail box and see if that helps.

RainbowTigress:
Well, I'm just glad my experience could help someone else.  I asked everyone here and no one had a clue, even the "great" Pescado.  :P  I didn't want to lose the house though, so I kept trying and eliminating all the possibilities until I figured it out.

And thanks from me for this Rainbow. :) I thought I manually had to make them ring a friend, sounds like the sim does it, it's been so long...

Ness:
Witch, I think you do need to manually make them ring a friend.  After they've asked for permission, the option to call > "go out" or something like that appears on the phone.
