@thisisarealpainx Do they disappear if you travel to another lot ?

[thisisarealpainx]

No they do not 

[crinrict]

@thisisarealpainx Do you have one placed on your lot or was it from one in the wild ?

[thisisarealpainx]

@crinrict there is a bird home on the lot but I'm not sure if that's the one that the birds came from because I can't remember when exactly it started. I think it may actually have started at one of the bird homes near the creature keeper's house.

Also I tried deleting the bird house/tree thing on the lot and that didn't fix it.

@thisisarealpainx OK. Thanks for the info.

You can try moving out and back or move to another lot and see if that makes it go away. Other than that, I don't have any further ideas currently

[thisisarealpainx]

Just tried moving my sim out and putting her in a different lot but unfortunately the birds came with her  

[crinrict]

@thisisarealpainx Would you mind sending me your save ? Instructions in my signature .. this got me curious now.

[thisisarealpainx]

@crinrict I actually uploaded the sim to my gallery and found that when I put her in a new save, she still has birds following her around. So, if you wanted to, you could just download her from the gallery and see if you have birds flying around her in your game? I called her 'keisha birds glitch' and my name on the gallery is 'thisisarealpainx'

@thisisarealpainx I tested her in my game and I'm not sure but I might have gotten rid of them but it's an experimental thing and you'll need twistedmexis all cheats mods to fix.

It might be a stuck commodity which you can get rid of with this cheat
