As far as I can remember, we could never select a sim with the move_objects on cheat. To delete the sim you had to place a chair and have the sim sit on it, then delete the chair. The sim would delete with the chair then you click on the sim's face in the UI to have them return with full needs 😉
mcrudd Just chcecked on my disc version of TS1 and using this cheat I can pick up and move any sim and also delete them. Chairs not needed 😉 Looks like it's not possible on the Legacy version for some reason. I wonder if they did it on purpose or if it's a bug.
Mikado-chan it could be that your game is patched. Check if the klapaucius cheat works for you? I remember the patch disabling that cheat and probably enabled the sim deleting option as well. I always had to do it the chair way and klapaucius always worked for me too, but with legacy it does not and you have to use rosebud instead 😉
mcruddI think there must be some kind of mistake. It has always been possible to delete Sims using move_objects on without the help of any objects. This is one of the most used commands/cheats in the first game, and you are literally the first person in 25 years that I have seen saying that a chair is necessary. 😅
In fact, I just tested the cheat using only the very first game, without any expansions, and I was able to pick up the Sim with move_objects on directly with the cursor.

I'm also experiencing the same problem. I tried to grab the Sim using move_objects on and it couldn't be deleted.
