  • 859janie  When you're ready to do some testing, I would like to know the results of a couple of experiments, as things currently stand.  So please do these steps, in order:

    • Load the save with the sim you'd like to keep using
    • Evict her from her house, and save her (NOT the house) to the in-game bin
    • Quit without saving so you don't reset your progress
    • Move the current Sims 3 folder, with all your user data, out of Documents > Electronic Arts, and open the launcher to create a new folder
    • Copy just the Library folder from the old Sims 3 folder (that you just moved) to the new one
    • Start a new save with a new sim and see whether the problem exists
    • IF the problem is gone, add your sim from the bin to some house, and see whether you get the problem when playing her


    Let me know what you find.
