Limbo between business and home
Vanan:
I'm confused by it as well, perhaps the manager is being considered the owner while I am at the lot, being that she is my only controllable sim there and is "in charge" of the business?
Also let me make sure I'm applying this tool correctly: go to the collection for it, click on it, wave it out over the lot like I'm placing it, and just wiggle my mouse pointlessly for a few minutes praying to the volcano gods. Let me know if I'm just doing it wrong.
Vanan:
After having the problem occur a few more times with other families and successfully fixing them with the magic wand, I think I passed some point where it was retrievable, and nuked the whole neighborhood from orbit, just to be safe (and to get back the vacation homes they had ownership of!)
Madame Mim:
Rather than starting a new thread on nearly the same topic I think I'll co-opt this one. And I'll tell the whole sorry story just in case some obscure part of it is relevant - so I'll apologise in advance for the rambing.
Trent Moore owns a business called Market. He stayed home with the toddlers while his wife went off to work it. Lillian worked a full day (gaining a silver sales badge, acheiving her LTW - §100,000 - and raising the business level to 9). When it came time for her to go hime she generated an erro and I, by a slip of the finger (or maybe mind), deleted rather than reset her. I then compounded the error by saving on exit.
So she was stuck in limbo and I resorted to Ingelogical shrub trickery to het her back. This worked, but I could not add her back into her house because the game thought she was still at the business and refused. So I used trickery again to get the rest of the family onto a vacant lot with her and moved them back into their house (which had managed to loose all the furniture just as if I had simply moved them out of the house) - which of course I could not do because I could not get into the house because the game thought that she was at the business lot. . .
But still nobody could go to the business because the game thought she was there already. So I tried the magic wand. I waved it. I placed it. I saved the lot. I removed it. I saved the lot. Nobody appeared anywhere, and now I again cannot enter the home lot because the game thinks that they are at the business.
Does anyone have any idea how I can rescue the business? I'd rather not loose one I worked so hard to get to level 9 if I don't have to.
J. M. Pescado:
I will look at it again and see if I can't reproduce why your sim refuses to appear when summoned.
J. M. Pescado:
I am still attempting to reproduce this test case, as I've never managed to get a lot to do this before.
