Re: sim stuck in "move house" mode, can't go back to own home

Thanks @treeriam.

You can try @jpkarlsen's suggestion (thanks jpkarlsen!) and load another save game using the Load button in the main menu. But please, before doing anything, create a backup of your saves, just in case. To do so:

  1. Go to Documents \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4
  2. Copy saves folder to a safe location (your desktop, for example).

If there's not another save game to load or you don't see a load button, then: place Parker household in any lot, save the game, exit, open the game again and you should see the load button.

Let us know if you have any questions. If you are not sure about which save game to load, share with us an screenshot with the window that appears when you press load button in the main menu and we will help you 😉

    🙂 I'm glad you could get your house back! I hope you enjoy the game :eahigh_file:

    What are you planning to do with your sim?
