Re: sim keeps running away

@2014201120082006 Does he have some kind of task he's doing? What does it say? If they don't have a task, they shouldn't be going anywhere.

    @2014201120082006 Is it only that one sim? Is he waving his arms around like there's a fire or just the jogging animation?

    You can try moving the household to another house, see if that resets his actions.

    @2014201120082006 Unless someone else has an idea, the only thing I can further think of would be to bring the household into CAS, save it to your library, delete the household, then place them again from your library.

    The only downside to that would be everyone in the household will forget all of their relationships with everyone outside the household.

    @2014201120082006  Before you go to the drastic step of deleting the houshold, try moving the sim to a different house and back.  If that doesn't work, switch to playing a different household and back.  Each time you move or switch households, quit to desktop and reload.  Use "save as" to rename the save the first time, so you create a new save to experiment with; the old save will be intact under its previous name.

    @2014201120082006 Yea, I would definitely take my suggestion as a last resort.

    Wouldn't hurt to delete your game's cache files either. It won't effect the gameplay at all and stands a chance of helping.
