Re: [FIXED] Can′t use split from household and move/LE: add_knows_career

I am having this issue too! ☹️

When I try and do it in the household manager, it tells me no Sim is selected even though I have selected them. Frustrating!

  • Me 2, it's so annoying. It just doesnt seem to do anything if you click the button.

  • I thought I was the only one having this issue I can't split my house and I do have two Sims selected

    I am also having an issue, I was trying to move sims in manage world, and after a while, all the move (split or move etc.) buttons greyed out. I have tried going back to my family and back into manage worlds, and I have tried exiting to the main menu and entirely exiting the game, and none of this fixes the problem.

    Edit: I found the solution. While moving sims between households, more sims appeared in my world, and I went over the sim limit. To fix this, go to create a new household, and in the box that pops up, change sims to unlimited, and then it will let you move them again.

    I have the same issue now ☹️ I was previously always able to split a person from a household, but now it shows the phone animation and then nothing. I have 88/200 Sim Count in "my households" with a 200 max limit. I also tried to make some of the unplayed so the number goes below 80 but same result. I'm playing rotationally with a big save file, and none of my households can use the interaction suddenly anymore. When i use the split in the world mode, it actually shows it's split, but when i go into the household where the original sim was split from, he ist still there!!! ONLY when i move him into a new home (not letting him "not in world" only then he finally disappears from the original household.

    This is very buggy and risky, as temporarily he seemed to be duplicated, even though he does not show in the household image and had his own household tile in the my households view, he was still there in the old household when i loaded into their house ☹️ 

    I wonder why this issue suddenly appears? If it has to do with the amount of Sims we have, or some other operations that suddenly bug this out. I do have a lastCrash.txt file that has a time stamp from when I tried to move him, but it is not human readable. I can't attach it here, I'm getting an error message when i do this, let me know if I should send it to someone.

    Warmly, Karolina

    I understand what you meant now... and a very risky move... but what I did just now was I moved 1 sim I wouldn't mind keeping into the home I want to move my other 3 sims into so they can transfer into that specific location. Highly annoying yes but until things are fixed what can we do?

    • Splitting the Household and moving out through the Phone is now possible.

    Fixed in Patch 1.110.311/2.03
