Sims 3 Island Paradise Maintenance Worker Problem

At my resort in Sims 3 Island paradise, all of my 3 island paradise maintenance workers are all getting stuck (doing the lil dance thing we they can not get to something). Also there have been reports of roaches, they may try to be getting to them (i can not see any).

My resort is on a hidden island, no move objects were used in building of it, however sims in my household do the little "i can't get to it: dance when they try and play in the ocean, but my resort workers wouldn't try to do this as they are all 3 high standard workers.

Please help 🙂

    your workers can't get to the roaches as the spawners are too far underground for your sims to stomp the roaches there is a few things you need to do to get the spawners to show up then your workers can take care of them

    when your workers do the wave arms and the bubble over the head is a good clue and that the roaches are active useing the cheats will help you get rid of the active roaches at the time the spawner does respawn again i think once you get to 5 star there is a less chance of roaches

    as soon as you see your workers do the wave arms i cant go there go into build mode and place a pool or buy mode and place hotub to make the spawners visible do the following

    • Press clt-shift-c
    • Type testingcheatsenabled true and hit Enter
    • Press ctl-shift-c
    • Type buydebug on and hit Enter
    • Go to buy mode while you are on the lot (or choose from the resort menu)
    • Click to go to the lowest floor level
    • Now you should see the spawners (white square boxes).
    • Press ctl-shift-c
    • Type moveobjects On and press Enter
    • Now you can move the Spawners up or delete them entirely

    then turn the cheats off in reverse order ctrl-shift-c  moveobjects off      then ctrl-shift-c  buydebug off   ctrl-shift-c testingcheatsenabled false

     edit to add or buy mode place hotub

  • @xswimx  For items that can't be deleted, even with cheats, try using NRaas MasterController's Object Stats command on the lot in question.  This will "flush" (deleted) the selected items, so make sure you're not deleting anything critical, or save first and be prepared to quit without saving.

    Since this thread is a decade old, I'll lock it here.
