Move in request not answered

@bubirsaka My understanding is that there are no notifications. This part of the game needs a serious overhaul. 😟😕

I've had this issue as well. Eventually the player came online and gave me the Sim. However the male she was in love with in my household was already retired. She followed soon after. 

I agree, the requesting system needs a bit of help. For example, if you ask an elder made by another player to move in, the game will duly send off a move-in request. But because the elder is no longer under their direct control, they don't actually get the request and it goes into the "dead letter office." The only way I realized that was by talking to a friend during a party to try to figure out if she had changed her mind about letting our sims marry off (and seriously, why are parties the only in-game way to talk to people? If we can send move-in requests, wouldn't an option to send them a message be equally useful?). If we can cancel a friend request, why can't we also cancel a move-in request that goes unanswered by an inactive player?

Follow-up to this scenario: I made a move-in request from another player who was willing to let me have her sim. The request went unanswered even though the player was active. I found out (via party chat) that the player did not get the request. I can’t cancel or re-send it. So even though we mutually would like to trade Sims, now we can’t, and the only reason we even know we can’t is because of a chance meeting at a weekly event.

I would love it if the next update could be an overhaul to how this system is implemented in game. That cell phone that our Sims perpetually playing with? Make it functional, and allow us to send individual messages to people in our contacts. It would be a LOT easier than what’s going on right now.

@miater23 Would you please open a Bug Report for this problem. @Phantomlover1717 would need the report so she can, well, report it.  I don't remember seeing it before. Thank you! ☺
