Simbot Issues

[Stangbanggang]

Hi there,

I have two issues with my Simbot. 

One is that whenever I click on my lady sim for him to talk to her she has to walk over to the mailbox and will stand only there to talk with him (they are in the same household).

Second one is that my Simbot starts crying all of the sudden and I can't figure out why.  His stats are all green (well silver) and I can't figure out why he crys.  I have been fulfilling his wants so I don't understand.

Are these glitches in the game?

Thanks,

The crying thing could be because of his traits.  Does he have Over-Emotional?  Also, does the SimBot garden?  They will cry when a plant dies.

I'm not sure about the issue of walking to the mailbox.  Have you tried resetting both of them?  Mine walk to odd places sometimes like that, but it doesn't happen constantly.  I think it's just a glitch.

Thanks,

My simbot IS gardening - that may explain it. 

As for the mailbox thing, last night it worked fine and she talked with him without going to the mailbox so I think this is a glitch.

I don't know how to "reset" my people - too new at this yet to know that.

Resetting can be very handy if Sims get stuck or aren't acting right.  To reset a Sim, first you open the cheats panel by pressing Shift+Ctrl+C all at the same time.  Your screen will get a little darker and you'll be able to type in the upper left corner.  Type in "ResetSim FirstName LastName" without the quote marks and using your Sim's actual name.  This will reset the Sim and return him/her to the home lot with needs back in the green.  Another thing you can do is "ResetSim *" to reset every Sim in your town.  This is useful to help with lagging in the game.  If you reset every Sim, sometimes it will let the game run more smoothly.

Be sure to visit Carl's Sims 3 Guide for help with just about everything in the game.  And, of course, there's this Forum that also has a lot of information.  If you can't find what you're looking for, start a new topic on the appropriate board and I'm sure you'll get some help.  We love new players here!  It takes us back to the days when Sims 3 was new to us, too, and that's always fun.
