Can't Save While a Sim Is Dying?

It's been a while now since you posted... did the fox ever die? And did it leave a gravestone for you?

Sounds like a glitch. There used to be one in CoL with the Grim Reaper getting stuck in an endless loop when trying to reap the ghosts of animals. It's here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-CoL-Animal-dying-causes-Reaper-Loop-Reaper-getting-stuck/td-p/10536033

It looks like that was supposed to have gotten fixed, but if what you're experiencing seems similar, you could start a new bug report thread about it. If you have mods, you should test without those first though.

I hear what you're saying, but if I remove certain mods, my Global Superstar will lose all of his albums. He's up to 22, now. That's a great deal of Simoleons. The only thing I can think of, would be to do a game save recovery. There just ain't no way I'm losing all of this progress because a fox the family didn't befriend is taking too much time to die! Oi! I'll check out the link you provided to see if my situation is anything close. Thank you!

The fox isn't even on my lot. The camera pulled me somewhere else, and I don't even realize where! It's just stuck. I looked at the link provided above and Crinrict came back to say the issue had been resolved with a patch I've already had. This is the very first time I've experienced this nonsense. I think I'll just do a game save recovery. I don't mind going back in time just a bit. Perhaps, things won't get stuck again.
