I have a family with somebody else's baby stuck on their lot. At first it had the option to greet the baby but now it can't be interacted with at all. If I invite the baby's parents over of the nanny they will feed it. I've even tried moving the family to another house in another neighbourhood but the baby is still with them. Has anybody had this problem and how did you resolve it?

Maybe try the Sims blender to send it home?

I think subhood probably and that should be fine. Because you have to use SimpPE to move to a different neighborhood like Pleasantview. Or does my game just not work right?

Sounds to me like you should just adopt it! It's parents obviously don't want it!

Has anybody had this problem and how did you resolve it?Babies don't vist so what cheat or mod did you use to get the baby to the lot? It is never a good idea to delete anyone in TS2 ever. Don't do it. Clone or not. This causes broken memories and missing character files. No matter who tells you to do it, don't do it. This is what corrupts files in TS2, forcing error and deleting any Sim. It may take months or years before you see corruption but it's still the main reason TS2 gets corrupted from broken memories and missing character files.I would suggest you forget about both families, put them both in the Family Bin and leave them alone, start a new family and hopefully you won't see any corruption that would be game breaking. And get rid of a mod or cheat that allowed you to bring baby to a lot or to visit. And if that wasn't what you did then get the patches because toddlers could travel to community lots in base game release, but it was soon patched to stop things like that from happening so it had to be you, or some crazy glitch caused by a lack of patches or mods and cheats.ETA: It's been my experiencing using the mods that allows you to clear Sims off the lot only corrupted the game more though I have never tried MATY's batbox to do that. But have used others and it only made things much worse.

But have used others and it only made things much worse.I haven't used cheats of cc, the only thing I can think of is the pregnant mother was on the lot when I saved and exited, then she gave birth on her own lot. At first the baby could be greeted but now it can't be interacted with.That is a really old bug, I hope you can find all the patches and install them because TS2UC isn't all patched up in many regards. ETA: I know it's hard sometimes, but try to remember not to ever save a lot while Sims are on the phone, or someone else is on the lot visiting, and or while the paperboy is there etc., or maid etc, or walk bys standing outside. I hope as others suggested batbox can possibly clean this up for you, I'm not familar with it, but it may be able to clean the game like you can with SimPE for stuff like this leaving characters files on the wrong the lot etc. I hope so. Good luck! ETA: If you do save with any other Sim on the lot, try not to rotate but play that household first after you reload so the files will be cleaned out before switching to another family in the future.ETA: Clarity: Don't save then leave that lot to play another family if other Sims are on that lot. Wait until everyone leaves who doesn't live there. Or don't go to a different household to play. If you had to save and quit, then make sure to play that household first again, then save while no one else who doesn't live there is there before switching.

Uh-oh. Moving the family to another neighborhood corrupts the two neighborhoods.

If you moved the family into the Sim Bin to move them to the subhood, then it is fine. Otherwise, it still causes problems.

Thanks everyone for the advice. :) Have gone to the house the baby belongs to and the baby is still there and his family can interact with him normally so the stuck baby seems to be a sort of clone. Will try to age the original baby up and see what happens.

Use Boolprop TestingCheatsEnabled True to force errors on the babyclone, or the batbox. (You should be able to hit either delete or reset without harm since the baby is a resident on another lot.)

Thank you. :), will try that.

Baby's are not meant to even leave a family lot. How did it end up on your lot?
Age it up to toddler see it you can then add it back to its family. Don't feed it and the social worker should take it.

Move you sim out of the house, save them move them back in.

Future reference: don't age it up on the lot it shouldn't be on. The un-interactable baby isn't the one with the right data attached. Age up the real baby if you must.

Any baby or older sim aged up on a lot not their own can be made unselected when testing cheats is on tho.
