If you are seeing any kind of Sim Corruption as described below, please post in this thread:
Blank or Missing Sim Icons, Missing UIs, Missing Interactions and Clones
Sim/Neighborhood Corruption
Sim Corruption comes in all kinds of flavors and has been going on for a while. Sims get stuck (on objects, on beds, on each other), jump out of interactions, turn invisible and as a ultimate corruption you loose your UI. There's a loooong thread on the issue in the technical forum: Lags & Invisible, Frozen & Stuck Sims. I can't help out over there right now but there are lots of people with long time experience with the issue. You also find some info on it linked in the first post.
What can you do when it happens to you ?
First thing you can try (if you are not opposed to mods that is) is try if Twallan's ErrorTrap or Overwatch can save anything. It's important that you are patch level 1.26 to use ErrorTrap. You might find ScriptErrors after that in your documents folder. Post them in Twallan's forum. He can help you out. NOT here, I can't really read most of them.
That didn't work
If you are attached to your family/town, I would suggest, moving everything to a new town. Unfortunatly with the EA approach you loose all your relationships this way (you won't loose any skills this way). You could also use the Twallan's Porter to achieve the same AND keep your relationships.
Na, still nothing
Then I would suggest, resetting your user data and start a brand new game. I can be hard, I know but sometimes it's the only way to still enjoy the game.
The corruption might come back after a while so I do recommend using Overwatch to prevent most of the causes of this corruption.
If really nothing helps at all, you might need to reinstall your game, clean your registry and defrag your computer.
Not fixed with Patch 1.31
- Cars are still spawning in inactives inventories
- Flute Forward dress still has a missing leg.
- Level 10 Horses Animation still off.
- Mags' Door still has the wall showing through.
- According to twallan there aren't any major bug fixes, if anything was fixed, they a very subtle. All the well known bugs are still there.
- Fish disappear from inventory after traveling
- Fish are invisible in aquarium (catloverplayer)
Fixed
Fixed with Patch 1.32. If you still have the issue after patching, please report.
It seems that you can get custom Sims in your game through SimPort. Unfortunatly, these Sims can have CC that is directly attached to them. Since this is an issue no-one ever acknowledge or cares about, this is now becoming a huge issue.
Please write anything about the issue here in this thread: Custom Sim passed to me through Simport
