The pie menu has  "go here", "skip here" and "run here" all available.

No, I have yet to try removing my download folder and trying it. I will today.

I think the suggestion to try cloning my sim and replacing the problem one might be a feasible solution but I have to try that today as well. However it would be good to know as many reasons why this behavior occurs just for info.

I Thank everyone who has contributed toward this end.

Thank you all very much for your interest, enthusiasm and humor.

The overall opinion is that the lot adjuster is the solution, and as my intention is not to make life difficult that is the solution I will use.

I wasn't aware that a lot and its contents were inseparable. I thought that the house could just be packaged and stored. Isn't that what is done with houses in the houses bin ? (As I have never used any of them I just took it for granted that you got an empty lot and put one on it.)

In any case, problem solved. Thanks again!

Thank you for the info. I have seen a lot of complaints registered re. lot expander and am not interested in this option.

Actually, I would more prefer to package my house, with all contents, and move it to a different lot. So, the above questions, on my part, apply to this.

I'm sorry but I meant no disrespect or lack of attention. I'm not sure how to make a sim "less playful."

I want to move my house, with everything in it, to a larger lot. What would be the correct method to do this so I won't have to completely refurnish my house?

Should I also clear all my sims from the house/lot first?

Thank for any assistance.

Point taken. Sentence modified.

Re. clarity, I have 3 sims, only one of them skips when going from place to place. Usually there is a pie menu option to "go here", "skip here". or "run here."

This particular sim only skips.

Than ks much for all the new ideas. I will go through them one by one.

Why, using all of these suggestions, would only one sim have this problem? It would seem as if all of them would.

Yes, I have asked there. I was hoping someone here might know of a solution.

Actually, since adding the new games I hadn't added anything to my downloads folder so the only elements that were added were what the new games added. Previously  to adding them the sim performed with no problems. Aalso, this is the only sim who has this problem.

What exactly do you mean by "do a binary search"?

Thanks for the reply.

I have constructed a movie studio lot with large, 2 story sound stages but light doesn't pass through from the 2nd story and I do not get the height effect of a 2 story room.

I have only found one light that works over 2 stories however it does not function when gunmod's radience lighting is installed (which it is).

Can anyone detail a solution to the above problem so that when I record my sims actors acting on a sound stage the effect is that of a 2 story (which most of them are) sound stage.

Thank you for any response.

Robert

Thank you for the responses.

Yes I have performed a force error with no success.

The sim, instead of walking from one place to another skips, not runs, skips. It is very annoying as my primary use of the Sims is Machinima and they have to perform their actions properly otherwise there is no point in recording them.

Re points. I max out all aspirations, motives, etc. as I want them to be at their best at all time so they perform exactly (or close to it)
as actors should. I wish them to have no free will at all.

Yes, skipping is "faster than walking" It also is slower than running. What is the point?

Any further suggestions?

I started with sims 2, OFB and NL and had no problems with my sime.

After adding Free time, Seasons and Uni my main sim skips everywhere. I don't know what to do.
 Thank you for any assistance.
