Unable to perform any social interactions between household sims

In the Sims 1 i played normally for  a few in game days but suddenly I am no longer able to have the two sims interact with each other at all. controlling one and clicking on the other just brings up the message that there are no interactions available. i have tried restarting the game to no luck.

    sometimes using the prepare_lot cheat will also clear this up. 

  • Also I’d like to point out that this issue is linked to another issue when you visit community lots and your sim can’t interact with some sims till that sim leaves the lot and comes back. I’ll visit old town (this happens on every type of lot) and there would be Elden walking around but I can’t click him to interact. But I can click Mama. Or Brad will walk around and I can click him and Tiffany but I can’t click their kid. Can happen to any sim and it’s annoying

  • Omg yes I just made a post about it thinking I was the only one. The way I “fix” it is by saving and using the “move_objects on” cheat and delete both sims and reset them again.

    Not to be the bearer of bad news, but this is not a new bug, this has plagued the original Complete Collection since its outset, so I strongly doubt EA will fix it in a patch. Allegedly, there's a fix available on this archived SimSlice page (you have to scroll down a bit) but some have said it didn't work for them.

    The most surefire fix is to evict the household from that lot and move them back in, but you'll have to re-furnish the lot if you do. I'm unsure if Legacy has been updated to let you pick up sims with move_objects on yet, but if it has, deleting them that way also fixes it (just make sure you save first, otherwise it will revert that sim back to whatever stats they had at your last save, including skills, interests, personality points, and relationships). After deleting them, just click on their portrait to bring them back.

  • Same thing happening here! Sims 1 Legacy edition and updated with the newest patch.
