Call back drone?

Is there an easy way to get your drone back when it's done recording and you don't know where it went? My Lara Croft just lost hers in the jungle...

I've had this problem more than once, especially after recording neighbourhood footage, but then I usually find the drone sitting somewhere by the "entrance" of the lot. Not this time.

    Unfortunately not at this time. The only set back with this item is that it can easily get lost on the current lot, especially if it's big. Wish there was a call back feature for the drone or it would at least come back to the starting spot it was in.

    I always seem to find it later when 'm not looking for it.
  • I do hope someone comes by with an answer for this. My star keeps losing drones! It's been suggested to not take footage of the neighborhood if you live in Windenburg. So, I guess that was my first mistake. He's been lucky to recover his drone when he's walked off stage after a concert and left it sitting there. But, still. It would be great to have an ability, perhaps on the cell phone to recall a drone.

    Too bad... I actually found my drone again, it had run out of battery and crashed somewhere near the jungle entrance. But that makes it even worse, when it can just break anywhere on the map, then remain there until you happen to find it again. I guess my proposed callback feature wouldn't help in this case because the drone can't fly without its battery, so some kind of tracker that at least shows you where it is might be a better idea.
  • Yep, I'm not using any cheats with my current sim save & she keeps losing her drone & having to buy new ones. There should be a 'Find my drone' action available.
  • I know this is an old thread... but this is so frustrating! Has anyone found any way to locate a lost drone? I've lost several of them in Strangerville, and what's really frustrating is that another family is now getting whims to "record footage with a drone" which is "from being near a drone." This isn't the family who bought/lost the drones, but I have thoroughly searched their lot and surrounding area and can't find any drones there.

    Are there any mods? Anything that will help with the problem of locating lost drones?
  • Ahhhhh lost my drone thought it would be near the house as it stayed near there when i tried to record my sim jogging but now i cant find it!

    I have found mine far from the house before, out in the neighborhood.
