- Are you using mods or did you do so before installing UL ?
I previously used Errortrap, Traveler, and Overwatch. I uninstalled them before installing University. I didn't reinstall them until I started having issues with the expansion.
- Are you playing a game you started before UL or did you start a new one ?
Yes, previous game
- Are you playing with a fresh Sim or did you import one from the library ? Imported from the library (Hi-tech guys)
- Were you able to go to graduation or did all go wrong before ?
Yes. The problems started after the graduation.
- Are you able to invite friend/family ?
I was able to go through the process to invite.
- Did Sims you invite attend the graduation ?
None of the sims showed up.
- Do you have any duplicate Sims in your relationship bar ?
Yes. I bought several sim expansions recently (haven't played since 2009) and when I played last, I had story progression off. One of the expansions I purchased in the last few months re-enabled story progression so I had to replace old sims in town resulting in several duplicate sims.
- For how many terms did your sim go to Uni ? 1 or 2 ?
2
- Try to describe as detailed as possible what happens
My 3 sims successfully graduated from the University. I saved the game and turned it off at that point. *Note* After their first term, they came home with another roommate who I had to kick out of the house.
So after graduation, the sims went back to the fraternity and after a couple sim hours, they said their goodbyes to the rest of the roommates and they went to leave the house with the suitcases. I saved the game again and turned it off. Had to go out. When I relaunched the game, I had a new member to my sim household, one of the roommates in the fraternity. But I was unable to click on my original 3 sims as the portraits were green and their action panels were blank. The fraternity which the sims were living in was showing as an empty household. My 3 sims standing idle outside the house and only the new member was able to interact with. I tried to send him home and we "ran" to some random park in University town. And when I say ran, he walked as slow as a turtle (straight torture watching him). So that didn't work. I tried using the resetSim (new member's name) command to try to get him to go back to my main town. It didn't work. It automatically kicked him from my 3 sim's household. I tried resetSim * to reset all the sims, and it didn't work. I made a new save in the hope that it would change my luck one I'd log back in.
The next time I turned the game on, it launched the town intro (the scenic flyover) as if I had just came to University and asked where I wanted to place my original 3 sims. I chose the fraternity again. Once it places the sims, i went to play the household. Once I opened the household, I have no sims in my panel, nor did I have any sim panels whatsoever expect for the regular menu on the bottom left of the screen. I tried saving the household to the library and placing them at another lot. I then tried to evict them from the fraternity to no avail. It's like a glitch on evicting that building. I don't want to delete the house since I don't see it in the library and I don't want to save the glitchy household either. I was somehow able to switch households to another university town and when I clicked to use the 4 sims, it highlighted all 4 so none could be picked individually and I'm pretty much stuck at this point. :x
