Can't interact with my own plumbots anymore

I bought the Sims 3 Into the Future the other day and made some Plumbots. I have two now. I was able to tune up, talk to, and adjust trait chips until 2 nights ago. Now I can't even click on them. I can still play them and if I have them try to talk to my sim she ignores them until the command cancels. Now they just keep breaking down unless I constantly have them recharge. I unfortunately saved after it happened. I checked for updates and there aren't any. I didn't download anything new to the game since installing this expansion. I restarted my computer and game too.

  • there are a couple of things you can try first the same things if it were just sims too first reset all sims cheat

    to reset all sims ctrl+shift+c hold all 3 together in the menu bar that appears at the top of the screen type in resetsim *   (inculding the * hit enter ) this will reset all sims inculdeing your own

    the other is go to the 3 dots edit town move the family out and back in  or again edit town click on your house and save a copy of the household to the libiary start a new game then from the libiary move your household into a new home

    I'm having this same problem but the solutions that rumbutter posted aren't working for me? Any ideas? Thanks.

    Same. I did reset my Plumbot, and after that I can't do anything to him as another sim. Happened earlier and I've tried to avoid resetting them...
