"Dead" Sim?

Post by Sonshine » January 10th, 2017, 3:57 am

Hi, I have a sim in my household who is alive and well, but any other sim who interacts w/him get the icon like talking to a ghost. Also, when I try to go into edit town, it says that I can't while someone is dying and when I saved, I was prompted if I wanted to save the situation anyway when grimmy was collecting a sim. I have no idea how this happened or how to correct it. The thing is he's not dead at all! He's never been dead, lol. Is there anything in MC or another mod that can fix this? Here is a pic of the ghost cat who has its path blocked by him practicing his speech. As you can see, he is alive and well, but the cat sees him as a "ghost."

It sounds like the death scenario is stuck. Are you getting script errors? If yes, you might want to upload them for someone to read. <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/How+To+Upload">How To Upload</a>.
Also consider resetting the lot and/or your town using MC. Do a "Save As" or make a copy of your town so you have the current situation to revert to if the reset does not work or has unfavorable results.

I get script errors all the time so I guess I don't pay attention to them, but I will now. I'll try resetting the town and/or the house and see what happens. If nothing works, then I can always go back to a previous save.

I wouldn't ignore all script errors too long. Especially those that keep repeating during game play where problems occur.
Take a look at the <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/ErrorTrap+R ... ogs">Error Trap Logs</a> document. It will give you a general idea of what you are looking at. If you are not sure zip those errors into ONE zip file as detailed in the How To Upload link above.

Ok, I did a reset household and that didn't work and so reset the whole town and that didn't work either. So now I have a choice to just leave him like that or go back to a prev save. He's close to being kicked out of the house anyway. Is there any other way to get rid of the stuck death scenario?

You could try the old fashioned reset method. Retreat to Edit Town, evict the entire household to the side of the screen, copy their residential lot down to the bin, bulldoze the original, replace it with a copy, and move everyone back in without having left the screen. Sometimes this kicks things loose that even a MC Reset Everything doesn't for some odd reason.

I can't get to edit town at all. It prompts me that I can't do this during a death scenario.

I just uploaded a couple of the script errors that I recently got.

The exact words are "you can't enter edit town when a sim in your household is dying."

On second thought, I tried and their household does not appear on the list of families to evict.
