Re: Household sim turned into neighbor

Hi @iKestrelrandomly 

This was reported fixed in a patch in December, so just confirming you have updated since then?

Some things to try for now as a workaround that helped some people with the bug if I recall correctly:

Travel with the affected sim

Play another household then come back and play the affected one

Move out of lot and back in

Mailbox? Was this one of those that you could fix by deleting and replacing your mailbox?

    Hi!

    I just updated my game, just before posting here about the issue. It also updated after I bought some packs during the Lunar New Year sale.

    Things I have tried with no success:

    - Playing another household

    - Delete and replace mailbox

    Finally! I traveled with the sim, and after napping, they managed to return home and was a part of the household again. Thanks for the help!

    I just had this happen to me as well. One of the sims in my household keeps being marked as a neighbour, which blocks him from being able to pick up/care for his infant daughter. Travelling to another lot and back temporarily fixed the issue, but one in-game day later he was again marked as a neighbour. Trying to get these infant milestones is hard enough without one of the child's caretakers regularly becoming useless! Glad there's a workaround, but having to hop through two loading screens every in game day is not a viable long term solution, you know?
