How to find a Child taken by Social Worker
I started a new game and I quickly realized it's not panning out how I wanted it to happen. I had a teen sim who lived with her horrible mother and father who kept popping out kids that they neglected...

I got Kaci back! This trick might not work for other children who have been "whisked away" since Kaci disappeared while I was playing another family, so I never actually saw the social worker or had any notification that she'd been taken. I just noticed she was gone, and then when the children in the family I played next both got "very sad" moodlets because a child had been whisked away.
But, I was playing another family this morning, and the little girl wanted to invite a friend over. I was surprised to see Kaci appearing in the friend's list. I double-checked. She still wasn't showing up as part of her own family, but Deidre was able to invite her over, and she actually showed up.
So, I dug around a bit, found the "add sim to family cheat" and voila! Kaci Bowen is back in my game. She's now with the Grayson family, but I should be able to correct that with Household Management. I did start another thread about this when I was looking for help with the cheat, but I wanted to be sure I shared the info here, too. Maybe this trick will work for others, or maybe my case was just a rare glitch. Either way, I'm thrilled to have Kaci back.
EDITED TO ADD: FWIW, I checked Kaci's genealogy. It does show her real family going back three generations, so the game seems to recognize that she is part of her original family.
