Sim won't come home from work?

[chilislavecutie]

It seems as though my sim doesn't want to leave his job.:-P

I sent him and his wife to work and the wife came home when she was supposed to, but the man (who was supposed to work 8-5) never came home.

So, what does anyone suppose I do about this?!

If you go to Simlogical, http://www.simlogical.com/, you will find the "Teleporter Shrub"-if you put it on your lot, you will see the various families listed on it-click on the family name and "teleport" him back into the lot.
That ought to make him come home!

Okay, I will try this now.
Will update.

So I tried the teleporting shrub and it did bring him back, but he won't do anything I try to make him do.

I clicked on the "At Work" thing so that it would "x" it out thinking that it might make him come home and because of that, he won't do anything except stand in one place or move to a different spot of his own free will.

So, in a way, he's still stuck at work.

I don't think this will cause any problems, but I'm not sure so don't try it unless you're really stuck:
You could try doing 'boolprop testingcheatsenabled true' in the cheat console, then ctrl+click the sim and 'Force Error' then 'reset'.
Then he should be performing no actions [canceled at work action] and he should still be on the lot.

Will try this!
I forgot about the "Force Error" option.
In fact, I think I had to do this once before with a different sim.
Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Hope it works^^

[chilislavecutie]

It did work, just as I thought it would.

Thanks again!
