Re: I why does my sim get stuck in a room

Hi;

I've been noticing this happening a lot as of lately; usually when you see the bubble of "feet + path" it means that the Sim can't pathfind their way from the location they're starting at.

Things to look out for that help:

- Low-hanging lights

- Wall objects that inhibit movement.

- Countertops

- Small floor objects that inhibit movement. (Some dropped items also count towards this, such as folding tables.)

- Low-hanging ceiling objects (Fans, decorations, etc.)

I have this problem most frequently in basements and when I use short walls with larger lights; make sure you keep an eye on how high your walls are, where the ceiling is, and where objects are placed; these can all be taken into account when your Sim is attempting to move.

(As far as a Sim moving through these objects, for some reason there seems to be a difference in pathfinding between autonomous movement, and when you have your Sim directed to go somewhere. I am not sure what causes that, to be honest.)
