Title: Invisible object stuck on tile
Post by: qvcatullus on 2006 September 14, 03:55:03
Hiya. I've got a pair of sims living in a house with a home business going on downstairs, so even though the real estate is big the living space is all crammed onto the upper floor, and there's not a lot of room.
Trouble is, one of the tiles that's right in the middle of the combo kitchen/dining room won't let me put anything in it. It's next to the wall, and to the best of my knowledge hasn't had anything in it, although I may have put a cabinet in there at some point. As I said, I can't put anything there, as if something were already occupying the space, but nothing is selectable there.
It's not next to a fridge -- I know I saw something at some point about 'stuck fridge tiles.' Nor is it in front of a door or anything else that should restrict that tile.

I'm almost 100% sure I've heard about folks having trouble with invisible stuff showing up -- invisible hot tubs etc. The trouble is that since I can't see it, I can't select it to delete it.

I DO have the FFS lot debugger doo-hicky, and have gone through the options there (even the ones where I wasn't really sure what they do), but that doesn't seem to have resolved anything. I do get a message that objects were fixed when I use the rerandomize sim generator, but since that exits out without saving it doesn't do any good, and I have no idea what it's fixing.

Any other way to activate this / ideas on what it is / advice on how to work the debugger?

Thanks in advance.

Use the stuck objects remover. It is another thing by JMP.

That option has nothing to do with stuck objects -- it's designed to re-seed the sim generator to avoid the 'first born' problem, where every baby born has the same personality. You would run that before a sim gives birth (save first, of course).

As moonluck mentioned, you need the stuck object remover -- just look in the appropriate directory under this one for it: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/

I have a completely new game....reinstalled all the disks, no custom content and within moments of playing the Curious house I have an invisible stuck object right in front of the fridge  :'( With no evidence whatsoever I have decided to blame Glamour  :D
So thanks for bringing this up qvcatullus, it has motivated me to look down in the hacks section and get the fix. I do love those little alien babies, but I have abandonned them to try out the Apocalypse challenge while my version of Strangetown is mostly unplayed.
