ever since the last update of sims 4, in may 2021, where I got like/dislike added to the game, i cannot make a sim move out from a house.
i have a family of 3 generations where it has never been a problem before. its just now, after i have JUST updated the sims 4 game. I can create a new household and with the new one, i can split the household - but i still cannot split the household that im playing and have put SO MANY hours into.... i havent had sims 4 for more than a year, but i get way more bug and problems out of this game, than i do of enjoy.
why is it, that i cannot split the household, that i have played for so many hours??? so annoying,
@rwa2212 There is another option to split a sim out of a household. You can use the same split household option on a computer. And if that fails too, then you can go to Manage Households and do it there.
I can say that it worked fine for me yesterday and today so I don't think it is due to the patch. There is still a problem that splitting a household does cause though. After you've split one or two sims off from a household and moved them into a new house, the normal travel selection panel stops letting you travel with more than 2 sims so you can't travel with 3 or more sims. But there is a fix to that and it might fix your split from household issue too. Don't know for sure but it might.
The fix is to save and quit and then go to your The Sims 4 folder and delete the localthumbcache file. After that, when you next play and attempt to travel, you can select all the sims in a household. So I'm thinking that the two things might be related and deleting the file might fix both.
@rwa2212 I think deleting the file may work for you as well so give it a try.
If either of you are still having a problem with it after you've deleted the cache file, come back and let me and the other helpers here know and we'll go from there.
Hope this helps.
Im having the same problem im now going to try the options ive seen in here but when I went to mange households last night to split the household and make the two sims I wanted to play “not in this world” they just vanished
Where do you find this localthumbcache???
