It will say like 91 vehicles have been removed or unroutable child found. Other than that I think everything is going good. I want to ask though does going back and forth to different households affect your game?
@brookecastro The removed vehicles is Overwatch doing its job, and you don't need to worry about it from a performance standpoint unless the number starts approaching or surpassing a thousand. (Then it would be time to install NRaas Traffic.) Unroutable sims happen, and you can ignore this too as long as it's not too frequent (more than once or twice a day). If it is, or if the same sims are mentioned too often, let me know. A recovered wandering toddler should also be a rare occurrence.
Switching between households is itself fine, although you'll notice that the sims lose their promised wishes and opportunities. There's a way around that, if you're interested, but having too many sims with active dream managers at once will drag down performance. So it's best to be selective.
If you have overstuffed households or any other circumstances that the game wouldn't normally allow, you may find that those fall apart after you've switched households. For example, an overstuffed household might get broken up into multiple smaller ones. There are ways to prevent that too, but there's no point if it's not a current problem for you.

hi again I downloaded the traffic. The unfortunate sim thing is so annoying happens way to often. I don't know what's going on but sometimes when I want my sim to do something they will do it for a second then go straight back to the front door of the house so weird. Any idea what that means. Like here's an example. I want my sim to go snorkeling. Once my sim gets in the pool before even starts changing into snorkeling clothes or snorkel just goes straight back to the front door.

@brookecastro This often means broken routing on the home lot itself. I'd suggest testing on a different lot, even if you don't want to move your sims there permanently. If it helps, there are ways to try to fix the main lot, but there's no point in going through that process unless you know that's the issue in the first place.

Hi again,
I did what you said and it still happened. So what does that mean now?
- puzzlezaddict12 months agoHero+
@brookecastro Is the only current issue that you tell your sim to do something and they go to the front door? (If something else is happening, please let me know.) And are they walking there or getting reset? If they're being reset, try a MasterController town reset instead. Click the City Hall map tag and select NRaas > MC > Town Options > Reset Everything. It can take a little while, depending on your computer and how many objects need to be reset. When it's done, you'll get a notification. Let the game clock run a few sim-minutes, use "save as" to rename the save, quit, delete the cache files:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Reload, and see how your sim behaves. If there's still a problem on the current lot, evict your sim in Edit Town and place them elsewhere, then save as/quit/delete the cache files/reload again.

Hello again. Yeah the issue is correct what you said. They aren’t walking they just disappear out of the pool to the front door. I tried doing everything you said everything. Still they disappeared out of the pool before they even start snorkeling to the front door. So uh what’s next?

@brookecastro I can look at your save if you want, although it'll take some time (I have a backlog I'm still working through). If you're interested, upload it somewhere and either post a link here or send it to me via private message. Please also list the expansion and stuff packs you currently have installed, and the Store worlds too, and what world you're playing in. If it's a custom world, I need a download link.

How do you make it a link? I only have two stuff packs High End loft and Outdoor living. The expansions I have are Sims 3, university, supernatural, island paradise, world adventures, late night, showtime, generations, pets, and seasons. The world I’m playing in is Island Paradosio

@brookecastro The save will be in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves, and the folder will have your save name. Right-click it and select Send to > Compressed (zip) file, then upload the .zip to the free filesharing site of your choice (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and send me the link. Make sure it's public, as in, I can access it without your granting access.
