Since I am not getting much help from EA customer service since Sunday I went a head about a half hour ago and just removed that passive stuck sim from my household. I got my eco rewards from Sunday and everything is cool again except I lost my sim so I'm having to try and get her back in the family. Have you tried to click on your sim from the family portrait and tried to remove or just tried to promote from your empty sim spot? Good luck to you and I hope your sims can become unstuck!
@LucidAnarch There is nothing EA Help can do about any of these issues as both are bugs.
Glad you found a solution even if you now will have to find your Sim and get her back to the household.
Here are the links to the bug reports:
