Agreed, stupid thing to do, but I was hoping it was a CAS issue and not a lot issue.

I attempted to search for this, but failed miserably.  About a week ago, I was playing Sims 3 World Adventures ( I only have the base game and WA, no other expansions or stuff packs), and my Sim returned home from a vacation, at which point all of his saved outfits had disappeared.  I was perplexed and went into "choose an outfit"  at which point a borked Sim showed up as opposed to my Sim.  I took this as a sign to save and restart which went off without a hitch.  BUT , my Sim is now MIA, I can load his house but there is no menu and no Sim.  The family name comes up, but his avatar is missing, and as I said, when I load, no Sim and no menu to call him.  Does anyone know anything about this, or what I can do to recover said Sim?  Any help or thoughts are appreciated! 

Thanks to everyone for their help.  Nothing seems to be fixing it, so it's something I guess I have to live with.

No buyable water wiggler, but I do have some CC, do you know of any other CC that causes the same issue?

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it.  I have a problem with my pets-the cats and dogs sink into the floor and become stuck.  I have to use the control pets on cheat and direct them to a task to unfreeze them.  This happens quite frequently and has become a huge pain in the ass.  I have all Eps and Sps, and they are all patched up to date with the exception of MG since EA didn't find it necessary to fix their colossal screw ups with that SP.  Does anyone know of a fix or hack for the pets issue?  Thank you!
