Can't delete chair
« on: September 29, 2013, 05:21:23 PM »
There is a chair on my porch that was connected to my firepit, when i selected the firepit and the chair's connected to it I deleted it but one chair stayed behind. The game doesn't register that it is there at all. I can't move it in buy mode, I even tried testingcheatsenabled true and shift+clicking it to delete it,  I tried moveobjects on, and the sledge hammer tool but it won't delete. I tried deleteing the section of porch that it was on but it won't let me and I've also tried to move them out with home but none of the items moved with them. I've also tried copying the house to library then bulldozing it then replace it with the copied home but that didn't help.  Its like it's not really there but I can see it and it bugs me. I'm trying to build a pool there and it won't let me. I have no idea how to get rid of it. Any ideas?
I've never had this problem until I got the Island Paradise expansion.

Hello TstyZmbeAssassinX,
Welcome.

I'm sorry your having this problem.  You seem to have done all the usual things.

First, do you have mods or cc?  If you do, they may be the cause, but, I never use either, so I don't know.

I cannot guarantee this will work, but, may be worth a try.  Save your game under a different name so that you can return to it if this does not work.  Move everything you do not want to lose into the family inventory (I hope they don't have too much stuff!).  Evict the family and place them temporarily into another empty house.  (Don't do anything with them.)  Use edit town to go into the problem home and see if the chair is still there.  As the game usually removes all "rubbish" from an empty home, it should be deleted.  If not, see if you can delete the chair this way.  Return to the edit town screen, evict your family and replace them in their home.

The only other thing I can think of is to abandon this house, and give them a new home.  If you are using an EA created house, you could get a clean copy by starting a new game, copying the house you want to the bin, then abandoning this game.  Return to your game and the copy will be in the bin.  Delete the bugged house and replace with the new copy.  (This will cost your sims some simoleons.

Good luck.

Finally, being very cautious, I would, if the above has worked, do a factory reset to clean any problems which may have developed over time.
“In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.”
