My sim has graduated but cannot return home. Her cell phone does not work and I cannot click on her. I tried to reset her, but she was deleted from the game.

Do you have a backup you could load ?Could you also please answer the questions here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/655771.page

I have the same problem but unfortunately wasn't aware it was a problem. So didn't make a saved file before Graduation.I can answer the forum questions though.- Are you using mods or did you do so before installing UL: Not sure what these are so not sure if I am using them- Are you playing a game you started before UL or did you start a new one: Game that I had already played just sent the husband to college to see what would happen- Are you playing with a fresh Sim or did you import one from the library: This was a SIM I had created- Were you able to go to graduation or did all go wrong before: Was able to go to the graduation although invited family and friends didn't show- Are you able to invite friend/family: Yes- Did Sims from your hometown attend the graduation: No- Try to describe as detailed as possible what happens: Went to graduation. Then Back to the dorm did a few misc things to boost the mood (eat, Pump iron, worked on upgrading a washing machine, got invited to a party {accepted}) when it was time to go home let the SIM alone. He showed up with his suitcase and went to the street then disappeared and reappeared on the other side without an attached lot, Interactions with other SIMS, or ability to use phone or vehicles in inventory.- Do you have any duplicate Sims in your relationship bar: Not that I noticed

Did you invite people from home or the Uni town ?Did you Sim get his diploma ?No one was aware so don't feel bad. Maybe it can be saved somehow.Do you feel confident trying something ?

Yes they had me try several things while I was working with tech support. Finally they had me watch the forum to wait for a fix. I did invite people from both Uni and Home Yes my guy got his diploma but I had a problem with the choosing a extra trait. I could only get it to choose workaholic.

Did you try removing the trait from the box (double click) and then choose another ? Should be just a suggestion you can revert.Do you have a backup you could try graduation again without inviting anyone ?

OK. Thanks for the info 🙂
I'll try some more stuff tomorrow but I really fear that it's corrupted beyond repair since it seems your Sim is now homeless.
I would keep the game though and just try another one for the moment.

That would be a bummer but I am planning on holding on to it until I know for sure I can't recover it. I am planning in the same house as I created that first in Edit Town so I have the home which I love. Not sure about my new family.Just wish I had copied the family.

Here's my discussion with Twallan about your file so you can keep track yourself: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/message/view/ErrorTrap+Issues/61135292#61179752
Maybe it would be wise to make an account there and talk to him directly instead of me going back and forth 🙂

Thanks I did create an account there. WickedFairy83 just like here. Wasn't even aware of that site. I haven't really had problems with my games up until now so it is nice to know where to go to as for help.

Twallan has made a fix. It's a mod though. You should be able to save your game with it. I haven't tried but you'll find instructions in the link I gave you above.
I'll try later today.
EDIT: Your Sim was going to Uni alone, right ? No other Sims from your hometown ?

I saw at twallan's that it worked for you. Glad you have your family back.
Next time, make sure to save before attending Uni and before going back.
Here's a few tips: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/03/precautions-for-university-life.html

Thanks I wasn't aware there was a problem with the game before I encountered it. You live and learn I guess I will be saving games under a secondary name before going to and before leaving UNI from now on. Thanks again for all your help. Would it be ok to delete those corrupted games?

If you're happy with the way it is now and can play, you can delete them. I don't think there's anything further anyone (but EA but they won't contact you) can do.
Happy Simmin
