Still stuck on lot with patched OfB
Hey guys.
I'm still experiencing the
stuck at owned lot bug even after completely patching the game and all of its expansions.
The first time it happened, the game was
not patched, and my Sims had driven their own car to their business lot and got stuck. That is, walking around the lot, failing their arms about and telling people to go home, even though the business was closed and no one else was there. I don't remember exactly how I got them unstuck, but I think I deleted the owned vehicle, somehow managed to call a taxi, then deleted the taxi out of frustration when they wouldn't get in it, which magically teleported them back home.
Intent on not having that happen again, I checked out the FAQ to see what the problem was, completely patched the game as per the solution, then, just to be safe, told my Sims to "Walk to Community Lot" instead of driving. Now they're stuck again, and it won't let me call a taxi to try my last little trick. I've tried issuing the "Walk to Lot" action from the phone booth, from the little crosswalk sign, from clicking directly on the Sim, and even from clicking on an adjacent community lot, but it all gets the same result.
Does anybody know any little tricks to get my poor Simmies home, or have they pretty much found a new "home"?
