    Admittedly none of those worked, but strangely enough after installing a second gate to the privacy fence from the backyard out of whim, they suddenly entered in droves, littered the sidewalk with fruitcake, stole food from the fridge to allow my Sims to undergo extreme hunger and even Mortimer Goth showed up to make use of our television set.

    Again, I don't quite know what was wrong with the front gate, but now that the "let's trash our neighbors house party" is over, I will now make use of the lock everyone out option on the gates... hopefully it will work on the front gate and not somehow "fix" it instead... or maybe I should just leave the front gate alone... 😞

Hi @Player_jp5s5eav

what a strange problem.

Since you know those Sims, try adding them to a group with your main Sim, then go with them to the park. Abandon the group there and then see if they come back.

If they do, I would move them out of their houses via household manager and move them back in to see if that resets them.

    Hi @Player_jp5s5eav

    Would you be willing to share your save game ?

    If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload.

    Please make sure to name the zip file with your user name and a tag-word of the issue.

      I save my games constantly (almost every Sim-Day), would the data from that time still be in it?

        You mean from when you had the issue ? Is it completely gone now ?

        The game keeps the last 4 backups, so it's possible
