Re: Sims cannot move in

★★★★ Novice

I have the same problem. Tried to move NPC into household and the screen would freeze/turn grey after I clicked the check mark. I eventually had my Sim move in with them (took me to manage worlds?) and then moved them both back into the household.

Move into household option not working

★★★ Newbie

Hi, I was playing sims4 on my laptop and was trying to get a sim to move into my household (I only have two sims in my household at the moment). When I transfered them into my household and clicked the tick it wouldnt load i waited for an hour still didnt load and it wouldnt let me get out of the interaction i couldnt click on anything else. At this point of the game i hadnt saved it because i wasnt expecting my game to do this, i tried pressing escape and clicking off tge screen but it didnt work so i had no choice but to force quit the game. When went back all my progress was lost, Please can you help?

Hi everyone, for now, a good workaround is to move your played sim into the unplayed sim's household first. Once there are two sims in that household it becomes possible to move them where you want them.

I have been playing this way while waiting for the bug to be fixed.

If your played household only has one sim you can always move a temporary placeholder sim in, perhaps from a NPC household that has multiple sims, and then return them afterward.

I'm having the same problem.  If I try and move a sim in via dialogue my game freezes and I have to force exit.  I can only merge families by going into "manage worlds" then "manage households" and "transfer sims between households".

Same problem. I'm trying to bring an unhoused npc into my household and the dialog won't close or finish, effectively locking the game.

Can't move a Sim into my household

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

My Sim got married, and I can't move the partner into the household. My household currently only has 1 Sim. Every time I move her over and click "done", the screen just "freezes", and I can't click ESC. I'm on a Mac, please help.

Re: Can't move a Sim into my household

@AnnaV111 This is a current game bug. You can "me too" over on Bug Reports. In the meantime, the solution is to do any household merging using Manage Households.

What happens when the bug occurs? The split from household and move screen comes up but when I try to confirm the move the screen becomes stuck. The only way to leave the screen is to force quit.
What do you expect to see? I try to move NPC into the household, the simoleons get transferred and the screen goes away once I click the checkmark. NPC is now in the household

This has happened numerous times when trying to move an NPC into a household. I have tried with numerous different sims moving in different NPCs and it happens every time I try. I repair my game and try again and it sill does not work.
