  • Platform: (Steam windows)

  • Mods: (removed)
    :round_pushpin:If you have used mods before, please list them:

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-12700H (2.30 GHz), RAM 16.0 GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

  • Steps to Reproduce:

I’m not sure if it could depend on the fact that it’s an old save, but I’ve done all the updates anyway.

I haven’t added the mods I used or disabled, they’re always the same ones from other bugs I’ve reported. I think there should be a faster method to report the mods used, because if a player uses many of them it becomes tedious to add them to bug report posts.

This Sim, who died quite a while ago, continues to send messages to the widow and children. Today, while one of the children was at Liberty Square and was about to invite a girl, I noticed that the dead father was selectable in relationships and I invited him. He showed up, alive and well, but appears as single, while the relationships with the children are intact. I can’t control him, so basically he’s turned into an NPC.

Unfortunately, this is a well-known bug. Next time you load up the save, you might still get messages but the zoi is “dead”. This is a world core bug, I guess.

The devs are actively trying to solve it:

I was wondering something: but if I invite the “dead” to live together with a playing Zoi, how would it behave? :slightly_smiling_face:

Maybe I’ll try it one day
