Title: I thing I have what is commonly known as the 'dead head' bug Post by: aussieone on 2005 September 11, 07:52:55 When my family screen is in it's loading process, there are pictures of dead family members that still remain in it.
I know of one way to fix this (sort of.....and it seems quite involved ::) ) so I was wondering is there a hack I can use to get rid of their pics from the family screen? Other than that, it isn't causing any problems with game play whatsoever, so should I just leave well enough alone and live with it? I don't really want to have to put up with it though, because I am a bit anal retentive ;) and would prefer that my game was asthetically pristine at least :) Title: Re: I thing I have what is commonly known as the 'dead head' bug Post by: Venusy on 2005 September 11, 08:06:49 Try using a teleporter object to teleport the ghost into the house. You'll get the message "So-and-So has died on another lot, etc". Hopefully, that should clear them off the family screen.

You can prevent this from happening in the future with Pescado's "death bug fix". Hope this helps. Karen Title: Re: I thing I have what is commonly known as the 'dead head' bug Post by: ElviraGoth on 2005 September 11, 12:41:37 I used SimPE to delete the dead family member from the lot.
In SimPE, find the lot they live in, open that lot instance and it shows who all lives there. Mine showed that the dead sim was still living in the house, so I deleted her. When I went back to that lot, the little info screen showed her in the picture that displays when the lot loads, but when I clicked on the 'I' in a circle (info), it properly showed the other family members, but not her. I entered the lot, and she still showed on the loading screen. Exited lot, saved, loaded the lot again and she was then off the loading screenshot.
