Grim reaper won't collect dead, camera cannot move out of area

 A Sim has died (not one that i have created) called Denis Barclay and the Grim Reaper hasn't arrived. Because of this, when I try to leave the area, it says that I can't because "A sim is meeting death". The Grim Reaper hasn't come and it has been over a week, in Sim time, that this has happened. What shall I do? I play the PS3 version of The Sims 3.

    Hi @DoritoSheep,

    In that case, I'm sorry, but we can't do anything more. If you have an older save in your PlayStation, you can load that one. Otherwise, you would need to start over ☹️

    Sorry for the inconvenience,

    Mai

  • Hi @DoritoSheep,

    We can try to reset the sim that died, that might fix the issue. Please, try following these steps:

    1. Go over your mailbox
    2. Press L2 and X
    3. That should give you the option to reset a sim. You need to introduce the sim's name.

    Good luck,

    Mai

    There is one problem with that solution (sorry).

    The sim that has died is stuck outside the Camp Gnome Military Centre, and so I can't go to my mailbox, because my house is in another area of Moonlight Bay, and when I try to leave that area, a notification comes up saying that I can't travel to another place of the town because "A Sim is meeting Death."

    Oh, and one more thing, the sim that died isn't in a ghost form, but it is just hovering there, but I know he's dead because every now and then other sims come to mourn him.

    I would be grateful if you can help me with this situation.

    Yours Faithfully,
