Solved

Cannot split, move, or change active household due to bug.

I am absolutely peeved that I cannot post on the sim's forums website, but whatever.

Anyways, I am desperately trying to find a solution for my problem without deeming it as a broken save.

I cannot split the household without the sim disappearing when they go to the clipboard. When I try to move them instead, the game perpetually buffers. I also cannot change active households without the portraits disappearing. When the portraits disappear, I cannot play at all. I always have to shut the game down through task manager. I would also like to mention that I figured out it has nothing to do with my cc or mods as a much older save of the same world works fine. I would very much like to prevent having to go all the way back to this save. However, the issue seemed to arrive after sending and returning my sim from university.

    Maybe the guys over at Nraas have more suggestion ? 

    Traveler is supposed to help with the corruption that occurs on going to Uni

    Only other option I see is loading a backup if you have one

  • Sounds like a corrupted save.

    You can try if the ErrorTrap or traveler mod can do anything.

    Just google it. 

    Backup your user files before putting the mod in.

    I have installed errortrap before I posted and it unfortunately did not fix a thing. I also have traveler, but I am not sure what it would do to fix my problem. Are there no other options or thoughts? ☹️

    So, good news. I fixed the problem by sending my sims to visit a new world (vacation) and it ended up resetting my world. Thank you for mentioning traveler's, because I probably would not have thought of this solution without it.
