[AA] Imaginary Friend reset after taking it to another lot

This happened to me as well during my Twitch stream today. Unfortunately, I couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of the missing relationship with my child sim's imaginary friend. I will go back to watch the VOD and update my post if I find any answers. During my stream, I showed off how my sim & his friend were BFF's with the cool fist bump & that her name was Kora Craft. Later in stream I went to interact with the doll again and I got the starting interaction with the doll. All the progress & relationship was lost. 

This also happened to me but now all the options to bring the friend to life are gone after she took her to a get away and played with her there. 

So, I did it again. I travelled with the doll. 

I took her to Camp Gibbi Gibbi (starting the getaway itself was an issue - different can of worms), had some fun and got home. 

I let the child place their doll immediately down and she was able to summon their friend. 

There are some things I might have done different this time, but I'm not sure:

• I didn't drag the doll into the inventory and out off it, but let my Sim do it themselves.
• I directly travelled with the child and the doll and didn't send them home and stayed on the lot, with another Sim and followed them later

Maybe somebody else can she'd more light. 

This also happened to me. I was on a getaway and travelled home to buy an imaginary friend. Activated. Then put in my inventory and travelled back to getaway. I couldn't interact with it anymore other than the basic "play" options. When I returned home after the getaway finished, the imaginary friend stats reset and I had to start over but afterward it worked as expected. I assumed it was because I was away from home that things didn't work properly on the first attempt.

For me it's the other way around. If I don't bring them with my in the inventory, they'll reset. Forgot it back at home and couldn't summon them. 

Same here. No matter what I do, the doll resets itself between lots. I play on long lifespan and I have to rebuild the relationship from the ground up pretty much every sim week.

Now my imaginary friend got reset after starting up the game. Didn't even do anything, I literally just booted up my save. I makes me very sad that the IM's are so buggy... 😥

I tested this with my child. I had created an imaginary friend, and they were best friends with a strong relationship. Everything was working normally.

After making my Sim go to sleep overnight, the imaginary friend disappeared from the game. The next day, when I tried to call or summon them again, it was as if I was creating them for the first time.

There was no more relationship bar between my Sim and the imaginary friend.
The friend no longer appeared as an imaginary friend or toy, but as a regular Sim in both appearance and behavior.
The relationship had completely reset to zero.

In other words, the friendship no longer existed. The imaginary friend was reset and lost all of their imaginary friend characteristics. And now, whenever I transform any imaginary friend, it takes on the appearance of a regular child Sim.
