    Which version of the Gnome are you using ? Dolphins' or the new one ? Dolphon's is no longer compatible with the game.

    Other than that, sounds like your game corrupted. I would add the ErrorTrap and Overwatch mod and see if they can save anything. You need to google them as I'm not allowed to link.

Something else I just noticed - the services of magician, mixologist, DJ, acrobat ans singer all got stuck since my last party. I was going to hire them again now, and I can't because it says they are "still active". All of this happened after I tried to travel and my Sim "near-death" experience.

If you know of any code, mod, or anything that can clean the bugs out, please let me know ☹️

My NPC's don't work also. The grim reaper doesn't appear when people die, my butler doesn't appear, i get no newspapers, no maid, no DJ, no nothing. There are no NPC's in my game....

Please.... I really don't want to reinstall the game and lose my house and family ☹️

From what I gather so far, everything except the travelling bug (sim's panel) started after I killed someone and the ghost just stayed there floating. I used "testingcheatsenabled true" to delete her, because she was there since a full day and the Grim Reaper never came. I now tried to kill someone else and the Grim reaper still doesn't come. Also none of the others NPS appears in my house, or in the city.... I tried clicking the mail box to force NPC's but the mailbox doesn't give me the usual options. Also the mailbox doesn't work, I sent tons of metal to be fused and it never came back, I also don't receive any bills or anything.... ☹️

Please, anyone, I really don't want to lose this family.....

    Hi there, thanks very much.

    I already removed the gnome mod and the problems persisted. I will try those mods you told me and give an update after.
    If at least the mailbox worked with testingcheats I would force the NPC's, but even the mailbox is "broken".  I went crazy and used buydebug and added another mailbox, now it's even worse lolol  I can't even save the lot, to start over, or move the family to a different house because "a sim is dying" and the grim reaper is gone... Damn mess!!

    Anyway, I'll try those mods. Thanks again 🙂

      I had 147 erros lolol  Ok. all the NPC are back, people died already, the mailbox works, I can travel. Everything is fixed, exept for the couple. They still can't interact with each other except for the mean/scare option and the spells.

      Anyway, from 7 problems, I only have that one now. If by any chance you know anything that can fix it, it would be amazing.

      If not, I'll keep searching, and thank you SO MUCH, for your idea :D

      Best regards and happy simming

        You might need to let the game run through the night(Sims Night)  so Overwatch can fix the relationship as well.
