What to do when your Sim is stuck in Sims 2?
When your Sim is stuck in Sims 2, you can try using the moveObjects cheat to delete the stuck Sim, then save and reload the lot to resolve the issue. To do this, press ctrl-shift-c and type moveObjects on, then go into Buy or Build mode and delete the stuck Sim, save and reload the game, and finally press ctrl-shift-c and type moveObjects off to turn the cheat off.
Understanding the Issue
To better address the problem, it’s essential to understand that Sims can get stuck due to various reasons such as routing issues, low needs, or being summoned by something. Identifying the cause can help in applying the most effective solution.
Resolving the Issue
Using Cheats
One of the most common methods to resolve a stuck Sim is by using cheats. The resetSim cheat is particularly useful, where you type resetSim Firstname Lastname to reset a specific Sim. For example, typing resetSim Gobias Koffi would reset the Sim named Gobias Koffi. If you need to reset all Sims in the game, you can use resetSim *.
