No One Is Out in a Car!

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

After installing OMGPetz & WOW!TheSkyIsWet!! I had this problem for a while with disappearing cars and Sims jumping back from work, which appeared to be caused by an outdated jobfixes mod, or whatever it's called.  All is well now, apart from on one lot, where the car is present in the driveway and can be used, but buy & build modes are permanently greyed-out, like they are when someone is en route to or from work, regardless of whether they are or not.  Clearly, the game thinks someone is still on their way to or from work, but no one is.

There are 4 adults, 2 teens & 3 children on the lot, all present & correct, and when someone goes to work in the car, the buttons don't un-grey themselves.  I can bring buy mode back with the cheat code, but it goes back to grey as soon as a car is used.  I can't get build mode to return at all.  I can't remember if I replaced the car after installing the expansions, or whether it's the original.  Chances are it's the original, as I could never replace any without also deleting and replacing the driveways  Like I said, a lot of cars disappeared and never came back.

I don't want to have to move the family out because this is a big house and it took ages to furnish, so I have no idea what to do.  I tried deleting the driveway, but that didn't help, and of course I couldn't replace it so I had to leave without saving.  Is there anything I can delete in SimPE that is telling the game there is a Sim on the way to/from work?  There must be some sort of marker somewhere that indicates this.  My only other thought is that it's because there are 9 sims on this lot, although I do have a mod in to allow for that.

Use the Lot Debugger thingie to reset the whatchamacallit. I had this happen. I can't remember the exact think you have to reset, but it's in the Lot Debugger.  Cheesy

Try "Fix Work State".

Yea, it's 'enable buttons' or something like that.  I've had lots occasionally get borked that way, and the LD fixes it just fine.

'Re-enable Controls' on the Lot Debugger.
