The Sims 4 Family Help Needed

[lilygrobbo]

So I've just encountered this problem. If you know what to do please help. Here goes...

Okay, so I've got this family of four, two parents (female and male) and two toddlers (both female). The parents have recently divorced and I moved the ex-wife into a home with some of her friends. I moved the husband into a new home with the two toddlers. I just finished building my home and decorating it, and when I entered live mode the ex-wife was at my house interacting with the toddlers. At first I thought she was just visiting and she would leave, but she then went inside and slept in her ex-husbands bed. I can't ask her to leave. I have no idea what to do. Can someone please help me.

Thank you in advanced.

Welcome to the forum this is a reported bug (click). My guess it is due the the non-residential parent still being a nominated 'caregiver'. Maybe if you play the non-residential parent and select a toddler the option to deselect that sim being a caregiver should appear, that might stop the sim hanging around constantly.

@Playalot I've seen in game files that parents are automatically assigned as caregivers, there's no way the caregiver status can be removed for parents. @lilygrobbo You'll need to be patient because the problem will be solved only when toddlers become children. Only then the ex-wife will leave.

Until the children become toddlers, then, the father can pretend that his wife is a for-free nanny...that he dislikes.
Actually, with two toddlers, having the nanny and ex-wife could be handy for childcare if the father works.
Still, it must be annoying to see the ex around constantly.

Thank you so much to everyone that has helped me! I will try all of these and hopefully she leaves.

Thanks for that @Candyd  wasn't sure if parents were auto assigned even if not in the active household.
