I’ve run in to this problem countless times pretty much since the game came out and before I even started playing with mods. I sometimes want to change a townie’s outfit without having to go to manage world. This can be done by using the testingcheats cheat and shift-clicking any sim and chose “edit in CAS”.
Whenever I then exit CAS, my active household then changes to that household that I was editing, not the one I was actually playing as. I then have to go to manage world and change back, going through multiple loading screens.
I’ve no idea what causes this and while it doesn’t happen every single time, it does happen pretty frequently. It’s annoying since I sometimes just quickly want to change whatever horrendous fit a townie chose. And then when I change back to my household, all the actions I had going on have been canceled and my sims are doing the most random things. If I had any events going on, they have been cancelled and sometimes guests (and even household members) have left the lot, even if there was plenty of time left.
Anyone else experienced this? It’s been pretty consistent for years for me, with or without mods, on any save file, and even on different computers.
