Ever since the update where they made sims passive and active, there are some sims that don’t have the option. So they are basically just there.  I cannot promote, remove or retired them. Please help.

Having the same problem. 2 of my Sims from the past generation are stuck in my house and can’t be removed, promoted, or retired. I’ve also never played with either.

Hello,

I am having an issue/glitch with removing/promoting/retiring two of my sims from a previous generation. I have constantly been checking updates and then going to the family portrait, which would usually allow me to remove them from the household, but there is no option to be seen. I have even tried moving them to a different household; however, these sims seem to be stuck no matter which household. In addition, the option to retire these sims has never occurred, and it has been like this for almost a year now!

@beth_ruj Hi, no solution for you but something you could maybe try: Fill your household (4 active sims and 8 NPCs) and then get a baby. It should prompt a message saying household is full and give option to choose sims to be removed from the household.

(Also there’s a bug where NPC family members get removed from the household if they’re in the Parkside during Sweet Treat Challenge. I don’t think this bug got a fix yet, so if you dare, you could take them to Parkside during STS (to the cafe or just sit on the bench with an active sim) and start baking challenge while the NPC sim is there.)

Why can’t I play or retire or marry my sim? They are just stuck as a NPC

★★★ Newbie

On the Sims mobile, one of my first generation sims is just stuck. I can’t get them to marry, I can’t make them playable (stuck as passive) and I can’t get them to retire!! Ive tried moving them into a new house, changing their looks, name, resetting the game, deleting the app, everything… nothing works. They are just stuck as a passive adult… I can’t even make them playable.
