Re: [Fixed] - Passive sims leaving the house nonstop

The only way that I have found to correct this "bug" is to have a playable Sim marry the passive Sim. It takes them out of that loop of leaving and coming back. Be sure to first move them to the home of the playable Sim that will marry them. After that, they can be freely moved.

I don't like to do this because if you retire that Sim, the passive one will retire also, or if they must divorce the passive Sim will be out on the street. It is a last resort but I could not take it anymore. I had to deal with three of them! 

I resent the fact that players were exposed to this bug and have little faith in any assistance from EA to correct the issue. They are even still promoting their new rule of passive Sims! Good luck to all players.

Unfortunately, the game will not allow an active Sim to marry a retired Sim so she cannot be moved back into a house. As you know, she can continue in relationship events. Sorry for your difficulties. I have been brought to tears myself over game rules that affect my Sims adversely. I know, silly, but sad just the same. Live and learn. 

@1004767007129Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.😊 This is not good news, though. Not happy about this at all.
This is life SIMulation, right? In life, when you choose not to be around someone, you have that right. If they don’t let you, it’s considered stalking, right? You have the right to say no to people. To put them out of your life. So why can’t we do that here? Have control over our Sim’s destiny? Like in every other circumstance in the game? It’s kind of permanent!😟🙂And just to disagree with you on one thing, I don’t think it’s a rule of the game. I think it’s some in between circumstance that never should have happened that created a glitch. There are some circumstances here, which I won’t get into, that should not have been. And the upshot of it all is that I’ve got a Sim walking the streets every night, apparently homeless. So it’s important. Something like this affects player experience Immensely. All the time they’re playing. It can be a make or break issue believe me. This has only been going on for a short time in this game and it’s personal. It’s like having a friend walking around homeless. I don’t know - you can just say oh well? You see, this was not a passive Sim, she’d been around a long time and had achieved a lot, and raised a big family.
Anyway, sorry to go on, I’ve just found out about this. Hopefully you’re thinking about it too.

I’m really sorry to hear about your issue. It’s a serious drag. Wish there was something I could do to help. Know there are many, many more like you out there. You probably already do. Thanks for posting.👍

@1004767007129I was just reading over this section again since there’s new posts and also because this really affects me.

I didn’t even think about her participating in relationship events. (my elder npc).  I’m so reluctant to get involved with her. But she’s already crossed over now, she no longer just wanders the streets, now she’s a full npc, she’s turning up everywhere. So I’ve been having her over with her family for dinner and it’s been great.

It will feel weird, I don’t know how other people feel about this, for one thing I was really hoping she could go to rest, like every other Sim I’ve ever had.

But I’ll start having events with her. Anything’s better than her wandering around alone all the time.
Thanks for mentioning it.

@1004767007129  @laprembee @smoothPEACHES @simmigurl can you confirm this issue is fixed?

No, the issue continues. I made an official complaint to EA stating that the only solution was for a playable Sim to marry them, as you saw. I also told them to stop promoting this option since it clearly doesn't work. They told me they are aware of the issue and that I should be patient. I told them I waited long enough.

When I checked on the status of my complaint, it said "no fix available." They even messed with my game and had a non-playable Sim marry one of the faulty passive Sims which, of course did not work. I had to arrange a divorce and now THAT Sim is out on the street. This is infuriating, but at least they stopped promoting it.

OH MY GOSH! Thank you! I thought updates ran automatically but that one did not! I went to a manual update and it works! I tested it 3 times and every time was good! I would not have known without your help. This is great news.... thanks again. 😂😂😂🙂
