Sims 3 Island paradise houseboat problem

I built my vey own houseboat a couple of days ago and immediately went out on the world to explore. Even though everything keeps lagging and freezing at times it's still pretty playable. My problem is when I try to return my houseboat back to portthe driver says it can't! However, there's no one occupying it and it says it's still ours. AND NOW I CAN"T MOVE THE BOAT ANYWHERE HELP?!

  • My houseboat got stuck, what do I do?

    If you find yourself in a situation where your houseboat is stuck and is unable to move (this should not happen), you can use a handy cheat to fix it. Open the cheat console by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + C, and then type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks and press enter. Now, hold down the SHIFT key and press your left mouse button on the surface of the ocean where you want your houseboat to be. Select the interaction named "Teleport Active Houseboat Here", and your entire houseboat will warp to this new location. You should now be un-stuck!

     do not forget to turn the cheat off after you use it CTRL + SHIFT + C, and then type in testingcheatsenabled false

    It didn't work for me because the only options were build, buy or seasons. Any other suggestions? I've never had a stuck houseboat in this game or others

  • kindaflyyy  It sounds like you're clicking the ground (or water, I guess) in an active lot.  Try clicking outside a lot instead.

    If that doesn't help, please create your own thread describing your issue and listing the steps you've tried that haven't fixed the issue.  Since this thread is very old, I'll lock it here.
