    @londonsims7  If you're willing, add NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and MasterController.  (Be sure to get the version of ErrorTrap that matches your install, for example the one for Origin/Windows installs is different than the one for disc installs.  The others work equally well on all fully updated games.)  Delete scriptCache.package from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

    Load the game, let the clock run for a few sim-minutes, click on the borked sim, select NRaas > MasterController > Advanced > ResetSim, and the sim will be rebuilt using current data.  Use "save as" to rename the save (so you have the original as a backup), quit, and delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package

    Reload and see whether the sim works normally.

    If this doesn't help, or you don't want to add more mods, evict the affected sim through Edit Town and place them somewhere else, even an empty lot is fine.  Then "save as," quit, delete the cache files, reload, and add the sim back into the household, this time the normal way, as in, talk to them and "Ask to Move In."  Or if you end up adding MasterController, you can use it to add the sim to the household.
