Misterious "roommate" - can't kick him out

[Frey]

Something weird is going on with my game. A random sim appeared at my sims' home while I wasn't watching, and he has stayed there for two days already. I can't kick him out or ask him to leave. He sleeps on the couch and wanders around the house the whole day, doing nothing. In the relationships panel there's a new symbol I had never seen before that says something like "roommate" (my game is in spanish so that might not be the exact translation), but he's not a household member and I can't select him as an active sim.

 I have all the expansion packs up to Supernatural, but I don't have Seasons and University Life... but I know there are roommates in UL, so could it be a glitch from the UL patch? Is there a solution? I was thinking I could move the whole household but I want to try to avoid that, if there's another solution. Any ideas? I already tried resetSim, didn't work.

 I haven't been playing Sims at all for the last 6 months or so due to technical problems so I'm kind of outdated about new glitches and bugs... 

Thanks!

Have you tried enabling testingcheats, and shift+clicking him, then adding him to the household? You would have control over this Sim and be able to make him move out?

Failing that, I have read that there is a glitch with UL patch room-mates that if you save and leave the game they will become controllable when you play the household again. Maybe give that a try? If neither of these work, maybe move the family out of the home with edit town and back in to see if he gets added that way or vanishes entirely.

Aha! You're right, I went to the main menu, and there the misterious guy appeared in the household picture. When I went back in, he was a household member. Really weird, I don't even know where he came from. I didn't want to close the game before because I didn't want to save, but I didn't want to lose all the progress either.

Thanks!

Also, I just noticed I posted this in the wrong board - sorry! It's been so long since I came in here that I forgot about the Miscelaneous Help board. Won't happen again .

No worries, I'll move it for you now.
