I had a sim as a toddler play a bunchhhh with her IF doll and it aged to a kid no problem and was walking around with her and everything and then as a child I had her play with the chemistry set a lot so I could eventually make the IF real. While she was doing that though, the IF transformed back into a doll and I couldn't get it alive again before the sim's birthday. Now shes a teen and the IF is still a doll and I can't play with it anymore? Is it too late? what can I do?

I have had the same problem. I recently found There is a Make Live menu option in one of the NRAAS mods. I think it’s Debug Enabler.

Mmmh, so many moons ago I remember I had something similar happen and the way I recovered the imaginary friend was, with master controller installed, clicking on the home lot then Nraas > Basic > Invite Over > Occult > Imaginary Friend and I selected the dollThen the imaginary friend came home an magically fixed itself... I don't know if it's the same scenario though, so I don't know if it'll work :confused:

@Karritz I figured Debug Enabler would have that option, but I have never looked, glad you knew about it and shared :smile:

Do you use "save as" so you can go back to before your sim became a teen? If it's too long since she aged up it would probably be too much bother but if she just aged up you won't be losing much game play.

I do several save as each sim day. After a while I delete the middle of the day ones and keep only "new day" saves so I can go back to any day I have played.

[SOLVED] Imaginary Friend - is it too late? Help!

@Chi5678 I'm glad you got it to work. I wasn't in my game and trying to respond from memory. I've just now returned to my computer just to turn it off for the night and was wondering where I'd find an imaginary friend doll to experiment on to check exactly how it's done. There are a lot of useful options for Imaginary Friends in Debug Enabler.

The option I use mostly is one that I need when a toddler loses their IF. If there's another IF in the household I've been known to clone it and then give the clone to the toddler/child who's lost their doll and assign ownership to the new owner. Assigning ownership is a bit tricky as you can only do it with particular sims being active. Now you've got the mod experiment as required and have fun.

I went to download debug enabler and also downloaded 394948329 other nraas mods, thanks @Karritz LOL

I wasn't aware we had quite that many in our portfolio. We may need a slightly higher capacity mod file delivery system than the one we currently have. :)

@igazor xD of course youd leave a saracastic reply :P I feel like I have almost all the nraas mods now lol they're very helpful!

Glad to hear it, but sarcastic? I was not trying to mock or be mean...I thought I was being amusing. Sorry if that got taken the wrong way... :/
