Mysterious Puddles.

I hadn't played this sim in awhile so I don't know whats going on here, my sim has mopped up twice and the puddle in the bathroom next to a window keeps growing. Does anyone know what in the world is causing this?

  • I think I know the answer. According to the guide after housewholed items have broken so many times they can no longer be fixed(like in past games) only replaced. The less times that an item breaks the longier it will last. If one of your sims is handy have them make the item unbreakable this saves time and money. Hope this helps. :mrgreen: 8)
  • i have an invisible puddle that no sim can clean up not even a maid, they just constantly complain that they can't get to the invisible puddle. I am so fed up I'm just not going to play the game anymore.

  • I'm having a different puddle problem. There was a puddle in the house that the Sims couldn't seem to reach to clean up, then they dried up on their own. However, my neat Sim still seems to sense a puddle. He can't get to it to mop it up and it drives him crazy, it's all he wants to do, all day. I've gone so far as to move ALL the furniture out of the house to see if we can find this puddle, and no luck.

    Any ideas?


    I had this problem as well ended up moving the sim around the house telling him to clean and watching the direction he was facing. He kept facing the square at the end of the stairs. I had him go upstairs and removed the stairs, I re-floored where the stairs were and had him clean again. He was able to reach the puddle which was evidently over the stairs. I still couldnt see it in game but he was able to mop it up.
  • Okay so I was having the same problem and the puddles were all over and I didn't realise what it was until I started at the most common spot for them to appear for a while. Bonelda, the skeleton maid that comes with the supernatural expansion, when she doesn't have anything to clean and if you have a bar she will make drinks and continuously drink them. Because she has no insides when she drinks one it goes through her and makes a puddle. This solves itself as she will clean It up. If you have this expansion and have the bonelda, follow her around for a bit and you will see that the puddles appear after she drinks.
