Sim stuck on clipboard

[beardeux]

Hi there,  I was saving to the library a 'household with house', 'household only' & the 'house only' to the lots bin.  I've done this many times successfully so I'm at a loss why this has happened.  I had to evict my sim to copy the house to the library and now I can't move him back into the house.  He's stuck on the clipboard.  I can't shut the game down or go back into game setup because I'll lose him from the clipboard.
I'm in limbo until I can get him back.  I'm able to click on him, select 'place copy' and from there he just blinks bright & dim.  I also tried to move him into another house as well as an empty lot.  No go.  Nothing happens.  Help...

My first suggestion is to exit the game without saving and try again when you restart the game.

Thanks Pam.  Will do.  I'll let you know.

Hi Pam.  Thanks for responding so quickly.  I had an eeeeek moment there.  I quit and restarted.  Seems to be fine.  Thankfully I did a save just before I did the copying.  The house is showing in the library so I hope it's fine.  I tried to go through the process and save it again just to see if it was ok but I only got one step further.  I made it to the option to purchase, but no moving back in occurred.  The sim was still stuck on the clipboard.  Quit again and restarted.  I'll leave it for now.  Hopefully it won't happen next time.
