resetsim name name has never worked for me. I told the dad to read to the toddler, so he put the kid in the high chair. Then took him out. Then put him in. Then took him out. So I got fed up and sold the high chair. The kid vanished with it. I have been unable to recover him, despite him still showing in the family picture and the relationships being intact.
Resetsim is not the solution for a deleted Sim, it is the alternative to deleting a Sim. If a Sim gets stuck in an action or refuses to respond, you use resetSim to essentially recreate the Sim near his home.
Maybe I'm dumb, but from the description, I thought it should fix this. ): Does that mean that there is no solution to deleted Sims? The kid was cute.
I did save as so I could go back to some point, but I'd rather not go that far back. I just want to interject the kid back into the family. Sigh.
