(DISCLAIMER) In the sims 4 I have 1 mod (the book of chaos) which I didn't use in this situation, and I have some cc clothes, hair and makeup in my game. So, I used the sims.add_buff buff_mortified cheat on my vampire male sim, and his death was normal, grim came, I got his urn etc. except, when he died, he went into the ground. I didn't think much of it, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this, but now even though he's not in my household and his ex wife classifies him as her deceased spouse he's walking around, texting her and in general acting alive as well as looks alive. I saved before I realized this, and now he's unkillable and spamming my sim with texts. I know this is unrelated, but I tried moving my sims 4 folder onto my desktop, going into a game and letting it generate a new folder, then putting my save back in, and it didn't change anything, he's still unkillable without any cc or mods in my game. Is there any way to fix this? or have I ruined my save?
Ok I have looked at your savegame. He was homeless without being part of a household. So what I did was to Invite him over (he is in relationships) add him to the family (ask to move in or cheat) then go to manage Households open the current household, choose split, create new household, move him to this and finally deleting it. Problem solved.
