Repair woman won't leave (Solved) «12...Next Go

Saunta2

I called a repair person to repair my sink and computer, someone came and fixed the sink but not the computer, I later saw a repair lady to the front of my house but she didn't come in. I called to have the PC fixed and two repair persons came. The man stared at the pc while the woman stood next to him. She eventually left while he fixed the PC by just staring at it. Now she won't leave my house. She comes and knocks my door then goes and stand up by the mail box and comes back and knock again, over and over. Even when I greet her and say good bye she only goes as far as the mail box then come back and knock again.

I have no mods or CC in my game.

Hello.
Try having your sim travel to another lot then back again and see if that makes her leave.

If you still have issues, try resetting the repair woman and see if that helps.

Saunta2

I'm repairing now. If that doesn't work I'll try your suggestions.

rosemow

I hope the repairing or the suggestions help.

Travelling and coming back solved the problem. Thanks a bunch

I am glad the issue has been fixed

I've had this same problem with sims from the new gardening service. I tried going to manage worlds and deleting them but as soon as I return to game a new gardener appears. I've traveled, exited game and reset the sim countless times but nothing has worked. :(

Hello @Itzgrace01 . Try having your sims move to another home. Then have them move back to their original home, and see if that helps the issue.

I tried all this stuff and nothing worked. I got an idea. I typed control+shift+c and testingcheats true then held shift while left clicking on the stupid mechanic. In Sims 3 you could delete sims like that, but not in 4. I had to add to active family. Then i went to manage world and manage household, and selected the sim and clicked the little x in the top right of their portrait to delete them. The mechanic is gone.

Hello
It is a great workaround for the issue. It is good that the issue has been fixed in your game.

i had a handywoman who wouldn't leave. she became the love of my male sims life. unfortunatly he was already married but loved her more than his wife. so it led to my first divorce ever. but the handywoman and my sim are elders now and really love each other.

Hello
Thankyou for posting what occurred in your game as a result of the repairwoman not leaving the home. It was sad that it led to a divorce. It is special though that the two sims are elders now and remain in love

my sim aydens first wife cheated with the male maid. so it was revenge or as i call it in my story revenge gone wrong. because i thought he would get revenge at that would be it instead he kept rolling wishes about the other woman. but he really is in love this time.

Hello
Try pressing control +shift +C to bring up the cheat bar. Then type into the cheat bar
testingcheats true
Press enter
Then shift click the repairman , and click "add to household"
Then go to manage households and click on your sims household. Move the repairman into his own household, then delete this new household that contains the repairman.

So basically,the repairman I had come over at least 2 real days ago hasn't left. I've reset the sim, moved them into my household and even deleted the sim! But, another one keeps showing up. I've left and come back, added the repairman to a club a gathered elsewhere, but no luck! Now, I have two repairmen outside my house going from the front door to the mailbox. I have unlocked and locked all the doors, even moved the mailbox. I am just so fed up with this! I red all posts about this, I just don't understand what else to do. I checked for updates and repaired my game! Please help!

Thanks!

Hello @Galacticy
I am sorry that you are having this issue. Try evicting your sims household. Then have them move back into the original home and see if that helps.

I am having the same issues, got a bugged repair NPC who won't leave my apartment. I've tried resetting him, repairing the game, adding to family and removing from family, deleting him, moving the family. The problem is its a apartment building, so you cannot demolish the lot and start over. If I go to a family in a different apartment on the same lot, he's still standing in the hallway. He constantly waves to the mailboxes, and if he's removed a new one takes his place and it keeps repeating. I have a save a month ago I could go back to but I am not losing that much time just to fix a problem.

Hello @Neodarkside
I am sorry that you are having this issue. If you haven't done this already, try evicting your sims household. Then go manage households, put them back into the apartment and see if that helps,

Another thing to try doing is to add him to your sims group, then have the, travel to another lot, then leave him there and see if that helps.

Neodarkside

actually its fixed now. I evicted everyone from the entire apartment. Moved the family back in and he was gone. he did randomly appear for a second and charged me for the fix and then left. Moved all the other families back in and it seems to work fine again.

It is great that the issue has been fixed

I have the same problem - only, I have three repair service NPCs stuck at my apartment. I tried evicting my household as a last resort because they own a restaurant and when you evict a household, things like businesses get sold - but it didn't do anything. I keep trying resetsim but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

Thanks, for some reason "add to household" doesn't appear. Instead I get the usual Modify in CAS, Cheat Need, Clubs, Marriage, Toddler Care, Reset Object (which I've tried countless times) and Make Into Plant Sim.
