This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default I lost Malcom at Club Dante
I am wondering if there is a fix (doubt it). I did have the cheat bool prop open... I window popped up I must have clicked delete. He's gone. Going out and back in did not make him return. Did I corrupt my entire game now?
tia!

Just use a mod to summon him back to the lot, or force errors on off-world objects.

Thanks!

Just use the Sim Blender or the batbox.

Here I have the batbox uploaded as a vase: https://joplayingthesims.tumblr.com...download-it-was
I know someone has a more gothic bat jar and I think Lunie might have it as a change mesh item. The original is a box with a bat on it by pescado.

And there are a variety of simblenders now, the original, one updated by Midge and one by Pick N Mix.

These are two very standard Sims 2 object mods that you should have. If you have Boolprop on just be careful what you click on the vase.

How do I use these items? (feeling stupid . . .). My goal is to have Malcom reappear on his business lot - Club Dante.

You just place them and click on them to interact with them.

Here's a list of the Batbox's options. https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_g...ebugger_options

When I go into the club it is in build mode (because he is missing). It won't allow me to click on it.

Then load his home lot. If you don't tell us what is actually happening in the game, we can't really help you.

I understand. I am sorry.

I may not be able to solve this.

When I load his home lot it doesn't allow entry and asks if I want to go to his other lot. When I go to his other lot he is not there and the lot is in build mode.

I do appreciate your help and time.

Move the family out to the sim bin.

He hasn't married yet/no family. I cannot move him out. I will play his fiancée again and see if she runs into him on a community lot. I always get myself into trouble with boolprop so my own fault here @@.

You could use this one too!

Teleporter

Go to Malcolm's fiancée's lot, click on the teleporter sculpture. Find the name of Malcolm's household (should be Landgraab, I assume) and then click on Malclom's name. He should be summoned to her lot from wherever he is. Since he is lost from his own lot, you might want to also make him selectable, then unselectable again with the teleporter - that usually fixes things. If he is still stuck when you go to play his lot, then try doing the same thing, but also move him in, then just move him out again.

No one needs to be married to move them out of the house. Just click on the move out button on neighborhood view and then on the house, that's all you have to do.

I can't move him out of his house because the last place he appeared is at Club Dante. I meant he didn't have anyone living in the house to summon him home.

He is at his fiancée and I made playable but seems stuck still because his game isn't saved ? He just disappeared. I am going to try boolprop debug next.

If you didn't save, he would just arrive back at his lot again when you loaded it, so obviously you did save. It literally makes no difference whatsoever how many sims you sent to the community lot and how many stayed home, if you save on the community lot you can't load the home lot regardless.

What happens if you try to move him out via the neighborhood?

That's not a description of what actually happened, in the same way that saying "he's gone" does not communicate that the lot went into build mode.

Don't load the lot. Instead click this button from neighborhood view:


Then go to Malcolm's house (not the business) and click on it, then when you get the pop-up click Yes.


What happens if you do that? Does malcolm appear in the family bin?

Use the move family button in hood view as Simsample pictured. Just so you know all his furnishings will be sold on doing this so when you move him back his house will be empty.

Once you have this fixed there is a mod called the "Stay All Bush" that stops the furnishings from being removed. I place one on all my residential homes, just in case I ever have to force move them out. You can't use this for him though as you would need to load his home lot to place it and you would need a sim to click on it and set it.
