No character data- is this bad?

[Lythdan]

Okay, I was looking through my sims with SimPE earlier today (my game froze, and I was trying to see where I last saved) and I realised that one of the simkids (who is very much alive, the last time I played him) has a pink square- no character data. Is this bad? Or am I overreacting again? Anyone know?

It doesn't sound too good - why don't you check out the kid's Sim Description and make sure they are still listed as having: personality (under Character tab), interests (under interest tab) and DNA (under more tab)

If you have a recent backup, you can take a copy of his character file from that backup and replace the one with no character data.

I've had it happen, and it tends to be when you are entering a lot and something goes a tad wrong!
