Reset a Sim/Object in Sims 4

…try Reset Object (Debug) to fix a stuck or buggy Sim or object!

Why reset a Sim or object?
Sometimes a Sim or object will get ‘buggy’. This means that it stops functioning properly or freezes.

 

How do I reset (debug) my Sim or object?

Options involving leaving the lot:
Many times if a Sim or object is not functioning properly, freezes, or your household/lot becomes unresponsive, you can:
• Leave the lot and go to the “Manage Worlds” (world map). The game may or may not allow your to save when you exit the lot, depending on what is not responding. Then return to the lot. See if the game&/or object/Sim is now behaving normally.
• Leave the lot and choose “Exit to Main Menu”. The game may or may not allow your to save when you exit the lot, depending on what is not responding. Then return to the lot. See if the game&/or object/Sim is now behaving normally.
• Leave the lot by choosing to “Exit Game”. The game may or may not allow your to save when you exit the lot, depending on what is not responding. Then restart your game and return to the lot. See if the game&/or object/Sim is now behaving normally.
• Try traveling with your Sim then return to the lot. See if the game&/or object/Sim is now behaving normally.
