Re: Disappearing Sim in Sims 3 University

It seems to me like you may have a corrupted file.

Did any of those sims went to university? / Did it happen before or after they went to university?

Or any of those sims from Exchange?

Do you have any CC or mods?

    This happened after they came back from university. I have tried to move them out and then moved them back but once i choose their house hold all the options to choose a household disappears. I can zoom in and out and can only view the outside of the house but it wont let me control anything. The only thing i can do is do the "forcehud" or whatever action and it brings me back to choosing a household. I haven't touched it in a couple of days because I'm so annoyed. With or with out custom content it still does it. I just started the neighborhood and it was a new family.

    On my one sim it shows my missing sims are not in that town. I sent my currently working and visible sim to the university to see if my missing sims were there but they are showing they aren't . So where the heck are my missing sims? I went to leave the univesity but guess what? now its telling me to choose a household and im in the university world. I couldnt get back into the town mode. So of course I just quit without saving.GRRR...

    Also no i just have store content no exchange.

    Do you know how to save your sims to the bin? Go into edit town mode, select your household and choose 'save a copy to the bin'. Quit the game and go into the main menu, choose an empty slot and start a new game, when it loads the world that you chose, pick the household that you saved to the bin, they should be there in the households that you can choose from. You should be able to play normally now.

  • But then they lose all their friends and relationships. Isn't there amother way?
