Problem with Imaginary Friend

Post by Althestal » January 27th, 2023, 6:45 am

Hi everyone!

I know the title of this post comes as no surprise but even with the existing problems this one I’m experiencing is new to me and I can’t find anything about it in other forums.

So one of my child sims got an imaginary friend and everything was going smoothly until one day when she was a child the IF bugged out and disappeared (I think when the child left the house the IF bugged out). The IF doll was still on the ground and I just put it into my sims inventory thinking “ah sure, at least I don’t have to deal with that anymore.” Pretty sure there was an ErrorTrap message about the IF getting stuck but that was all.

This said sim is now a teen and I have tried placing the doll out to age the IF up but the game bugs out and doesn’t let me place the doll. A few days later I placed the doll but it had a different name. Then my sim’s inventory stopped working. So after placing the doll I can’t click on anything in the sim’s inventory. I tried to fix it by maybe putting the doll in the family inventory in buy mode but it just broke that inventory system too :/

I reloaded the save to before I took the doll out of my sim’s inventory and don’t dare try anything else! I can easily just have my sim carry around the doll for the rest of her life without interacting with it or perhaps there’s a fix for this?

I have tried resetting the teen sim and the IF via cheat commands and master controller but it didn’t seem to work. I even reset everything in the town but the doll is still janky… any ideas? Thanks guys <3

If you won't mind you can annihilate the IF entirely with Mastercontroller (and maybe also all others around your town)

Thank you for the response! It worked!

I placed the IF doll on the ground, deleted it, annihilated the IF sim via MC and let the game run for a few seconds. My sim’s inventory was still bugged out so I made a separate save, restarted my game and thankfully everything is back to normal! <3
