Oops Deleted social worker
So, I got distracted after remodeling my house, and my pet's social was too low. I was actively trying to fix the social and the social worker came to take the cat for neglect @_@. But I thought I wo...

Fix Options (in order of least to most drastic)
1. Use “ResetSim” on your pet:
Open the cheat console with Ctrl + Shift + C → type:
resetsim [Pet’sFirstName] [Pet’sLastName]
Example:
resetsim Mittens Smith
That should cancel the “Waiting for social worker” action and free your pet.
2. Force the social worker to respawn (NRaas):
If you use NRaas MasterController, do this:
Click on any sim or city hall → NRaas > MasterController > Town > Reset Everything
This rebuilds missing NPCs (like the social worker).
👉 Download link if you don’t have it: NRaas MasterController
Optional add-on: NRaas Overwatch helps automatically clean up deleted NPCs and stuck scripts.

3. If it still doesn’t clear up:
Save your current build to the library (so you don’t lose the house), then:
Exit without saving the broken session
Reload your previous autosave or backup
Place your saved house lot back in
That way, your build progress is safe, and the household state resets properly.
Tip for the future: Never delete service NPCs directly — The Sims 3 scripts tie them to in-progress interactions. If they get deleted, it can soft-lock sims or pets like this.
Hope this helps! 💚
You should be able to save the household without losing your hard work.
