Reaper stuck in water, not reaping

I was playing my farm family on Cottage living today and the camera zoomed to a fox dying on the bridge. I go back to playing but notice I still cannot travel, buildbuy, or save. I look over and the fox is still laying over on the bridge dying. I look around for the reaper but don't see him. After chatting with support for help I did notice the reaper is standing in the water/river near the bridge and must have spawned in the river and I guess can't get out and reap. Is there a way to fix this without cheats or will doing the reset cheat cause me to lose my non-cheat status?

    @RandiPandi2017 I take it you play on console ? If you use the resetsim <firstname> <lastname> cheat instead of the testingcheat it shouldn't affect your cheat status.

    I don't know of any other way to get the Grim Reaper unstuck except exiting without saving and trying again.

    @RandiPandi2017 - it’s been a while since I’ve played my Cottage Living save, so I can’t remember if the bug has been fixed, but Grim used to get stuck in a loop when reaping around Henford on Bagley.
    What usually worked for me was getting a call from one of my sim’s friends or acquaintances to go somewhere. I would be able to have my sim accept the invite and then automatically travel to whatever location the event was taking place at and upon returning Grim would be gone, and I could continue as usual.
    Fastest way to get a call is usually to get your sim in a moodlet where you can send a “moodlet text” to another sim. Most of the time they’ll call your sim right away.
    I can’t remember if there was another way as well to get him unstuck - like I said, it’s been a while 🙂

    I wonder if that would work for other situations where Sims can't travel, like fires in homes that they don't have access to.

    I play PC, I ended up enabling the cheats to reset the fox and grim reaper disappeared then the fox died again somewhere he could actually reap him. I just didnt want to use cheats if it would ruin the achievements or satisfaction points in my game.
