[AA] Imaginary Friend Vanishes when making real (Space issue)

My sim ages up to a teen, I offer to make my imaginary friend real, and when they spin to transform into a real sim they just disappear. They are completely removed from my relationship panel and then after a bit they turn back into a doll. The interactions then become seek comfort from an old friend and reminisce; like I sent them away forever. I tried this with each of my twins and their imaginary friends and it happened to both of them. I tried multiple times at camp and at my home lot. I had MCCC & UI Cheats installed but removed them both and it still happened. Both sims were best friends with this version of their imaginary friend before they aged up. Anyone else disappointed and traumatized on their sims' birthday?

    luthienrising​ I have tried in a new save and the same thing still happens but I haven't tried a different household yet. I will try that sometime today and let you know what happens.

    Rachel31311993​ Thanks for doing that testing! I'm moving you to Gameplay Issues for now. Have you tried in a different household or a new save to see if it works in those scenarios?

    luthienrising​ I just tried what you said to do. I tested it with no mods in the mods folder, deleted the localthumbcache, and the same thing happened. I can't get my sim to turn their imaginary friend into a real sim. The option shows up, I click on it and it looks like was gonna work but the doll disappears a few minutes and comes back. After two or three tries it won't even say the option to turn them into a real sim after a while. I did however yesterday only have the MCCC mod in the mods folder and it did work then. I don't know what could be causing this issue. Someone else I know put it on discord that they are having the same problem as I am with the imaginary friends. So I know I am not the only one.

    Rachel31311993​ Start by testing with NO mods or CC. Rename the Mods folder, delete the file called localthumbcache, and try again. You can exit without saving. Note that disabling mods can still leave the effects of some mods in place.

    I am thinking it is more mod related but not sure where to start with my mods folder. I have so many mods that I don't know what one or ones could be causing this issue. I had only one mod in the mods folder when it worked but now that I put the rest of the mods I use in the folder, it doesn't work again. I also know I am not the only one with this problem, there is one other person that is having the same issue, but they disabled their mods. So, they have the problem without mods as well.

  • I play the Sims 4 from the EA App on an pc and every time my child sim has an imaginary  friend, they can’t turn their imaginary friend real once they become a teen. They become friends with them and everything they got to do, but it still doesn’t work. The option shows up but when I click to have my teen sim turn there imaginary friend real, nothing happens. I have tried with mods because I do use them in my game and turning the mods off doesn’t seem to work. I haven’t been able to turn an imaginary friend into a real sim successfully yet.

  • Hi RainPromiseRoses​ 

    how did you remove the mods ? Moved the entire mods folder to the desktop and deleted the localthumbcache ? Did you have a backup to go back to or did you not save when it didn't work ?
