9th Jun 2011, 07:36 PM	Sim gets unselectable #1
Mirrrr Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Nov 2008 Posts: 42	I just want to know if others have the same problem. I have now 2 sims in my family that get unselectable after a while. The small picture on the right side gets green and the sim complete dissapears. Is this a generations bug ? I have it with and without mods.

When this fails, you can evict the particular sim (or the entire household if you like) and put them right back to the same lot. If this doesn't fix it, you may have to load an earlier save.

Two of my Sims disappeared, Master Controller's Reset Town did nothing, and when I last wnadered into the game the entire family didn't show up.

i had the same problem, and i got really sad since there were two sims i really cared for

but i found out that it happened right after my sim called on the phone to throw a bachelor party! and then after the bachelor party was over, they were back to normal again!

could it be this has happened to your sim too?

If you're having any problem, issue, error, or glitch with your game, that's a job for MTS's Help section. There's both articles with common issues as well as Q&A support forums where you can ask questions and get specific help. Game Help:Sims 3 Game Problem^wiki Try that first - every step, in order, and don't skip anything! Even if it doesn't say your specific problem, try it anyway, as it's a good starting point to rule out the most common causes of game issues. If you still have trouble, you can post a new thread in the Help Q&A forums. There's a link to the Help Q&A forums at the top of every FAQ in the Help section. If you do post there, make sure to read and follow the directions that will display before you post there! Good luck, and happy simming! :)
