Sim stuck as Skeleton, even though they look normal

My sim is apparently stuck as a skeleton, she is unable to change clothes, eat food or drink anything without it pilling on the floor, and she can't perform any romance interactions.

I have tried the removing buffs cheat, I tried turning her into a plant sim, but nothing seems to work. She looks like her normal self but is supposedly a skeleton!

  • For the ones who still have this problem. Use cas.fulleditmode to turn your sim into an toddler/child and make them age up back to a ya. You have to do this with a cake, not just in cas. Relationships will remain the same and your sim is back to normal! This worked for me after a lot of struggling. Also, if u have UI cheats extension and you get the skeleton buff, DON’T remove it with UI. This is what created the glitch in my game.

    Open the cheat console then enter testingcheats true (press Enter).

    Then use this cheat: sims.remove_buff Buff_Skeleton

    Notice that this applies to the active Sim.

  • Hi,

    I tried this and it doesn't work. I might have to remake her and her family...

    have you tried going into cas it worked for me

  • I have the same issue. 

    My sim got the message that he had been turned into a skeleton, and he got the buff. But he looked like himself. But now I can't change clothes on him at all... And I have tried the cheats and nothing works. 

    I removed my mods, and it still doesn't work. 

    I tried entering cas, without mods, and no, it doesn't work.

    So now I have to make a new family ☹️

    Hi @PienDeRuijgt,

    I've marked your workaround as the solution to pin it up top for readers. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it.
