Signs of Corruption

Can they enter the building for things other than work? There could also be something blocking them from entering. Twinbrook, for example, has a default layout that prevents sims from using the bookstore. You just have to bump it a few tiles back.

Maybe try moving the building?

one problem I've had is when you select a Sim ( in their little picture box) then you go to another Sim, both of them will be highlighted, and you can't play either one. The Goddards, Pauline & Hank

@xxnearlyperfectx -I had that happen in some of my early saves just after social workers had taken children away either from my active family as in the case of their baby being taken or from inactives like that one where Claire Usine died and her baby got taken.The other one was where a child got taken for failing at school because the building was overcrowded and he couldn't get into the school.It's also possilble that's an early sign of your save becoming corrupted as it often happens like that after a sim is deleted by TCE,social worker taking a child or a failed return from any kind of travel.

All I’ve ever had to do to fix that is exit to Main Menu then go back into game, it’s always fine after that.

Well if a bouncer doesn't let your Sim into an exclusive Late Night venue, you can just give them a them financial incentive and they'll look the other way. So I guess that's not looking too good.

You look at your save file and the sim's photo is all messed up or their lot isn't showing.

For example, the Vanderburg sim is showing up, but her lot image isn't.This isn't my pic, but it did happen to me the other day, and it caused my lot to keep flashing, I had to bulldoze the lot, replace it and save as instead of save.

That can be caused by having a tent in a chest.

@ScottDemon, I've noticed that if a photo is darker than usual on your launcher, it usually means that the file is messed up. I've had instances where my save goes sideways and if I try to play a game with a darkened photo, it's not going to turn out well.

That sounds like a busted UI. I'm surprised it would even load.
But the missing save thumbnail and lot image is usually (but not always) a tent in a chest as I've seen that many times (after all these years I'm still dumb enough to keep doing it :D ) besides bulldozing wouldn't fix it (it would bring the thumbnail and lot image back as would removing the tent from the chest but if the save is actually corrupted the corruption would still be there and the thumbnail and lot image would still be missing).

She enters, but does not stay most of the time. Now, it has got to a point where she can't go to work at all

If this was happening in my game I'd save her to the library with all of her household posessions in her inventory or family inventory and transfer her to a fresh save. Or use Porter mod to save her and whoever else in the world you want her to continue to remember and relate to and move them to a new save.


Whatever you finally come up with, I hope it all works out for you.
