Night Life : sims ONLY uses Taxi (refuse to use vehicles)

[LordHellscream]

somehow my sims now only uses Taxi and not use vehicles at home, i sold my car and bought a new (different) one and set it to use as "preferred" vehicle and sims still uses taxi no matter what.

anyone had encountered this before? how do i fix it?

Do you have Ambitions? If so, does your sim have a harvester in their inventory?

[LordHellscream]

Yes and yes

is this one like the grocery store bug??

[Moryrie]

I am unfamiliar with the 'Grocery Store Bug'. Remove the harvester (if you can), and your sim will resume using other means of transit.

I believe the 'Grocery Store Bug" being referred to is where you couldn't buy/sell at the grocery store if you had special seeds in your inventory.  So far I have not seen an issue with having the harvester in the inventory, next time I'm playing, I'll pay closer attention to what transport those sims use.

[Moryrie]

Occasionally the harvester glitches, gets stuck in ones inventory and clones itself when you remove it. This somehow also causes one to be unable to use any transit but taxis, or (in WA destinations) scooters and bicycles. It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough for there to be good reason not to leave a harvester in your sims' inventory.

Putting the borked items for sale at the consignment shop worked for me. If they don't sell after 5 days just do it again and they'll eventually all be sold.
