Sim is slowly starving to death after being eaten by his plant

«1
So I left my farmer sim to his own devices for a few minutes while I took care of some business. When I came back, he managed to get himself eaten by one of his cow plants. He currently has the uncomfortable drained moodlet and his hunger is very low, in the red. When he eats, it doesn't increase his hunger bar. Is this what normally happens when a sim gets eaten by a cowplant? At this rate he's going to starve to death.

    WOW. That's is so strange. Okay try reseting the sim.
    You have to type:
    ''resetsim '' then press the space bar, type the sims first name, space, then the sims last name :)
    So for example, if my sims name is Moo Cow, it would go;
    resetsim Moo Cow

    Hello
    Try typing into the cheat bar
    testingcheats true
    Press enter
    Then type in
    fillmotive motive_hunger
    Then press enter.
    This should restore the hunger bar needs.

    This link explains about what happens when eaten by the cowplant for the first time, but are " spat out" by the cowplant

    Nooooo! I put a lot of effort starting his farm and he finally found someone to marry. :'(

    I tried resetting him and the fill motives cheat and his hunger hasn't changed. This is so weird. The one time I get invested in a sim and they die. This sucks, but it looks like i may not be able to save him. :s

    That's not what should happen when sims get eaten. Normally it's just the drained moodlet, I've had it several times. So sad if you lose your sim :(

    WAIT! There is a way!
    I'm pretty sure you can edit him in create a sim and save him to the gallery? That way, if he dies, you could get him back. I think they keep all the skills. I'm not sure..

    He'll keep his skills, not his relationships with other sims or money, though. And I'm not sure if aspiration progress are saved.

    Sorry @Pinkmonkey that you have this problem in your game.

    Thanks @spontaneousivy for the info :)
    So @Pinkmonkey he will lose the relationships, but you could do a cheat to bring them back up. And cheat to bring the money back up too.

    not really a solution. some of us spends a lot of time with some sims in the game with,

    skills
    job
    collections
    relationships
    aspirations.

    yes they always keep the skills and no a copy of a sim wouldn't keep relationships.

    Losing aspiration progress is a big issue. I currently have his motive decay disabled, which is keeping him alive. I

    Have you tried having him leave his lot, go to the park say, and then return- maybe even have him move to a new house and then back to his old lot? Also, try switching to play a different sim and then switching back to him. You can also try saving the lot- then demolish the lot- then replace that lot from your library. Also, try just saving the game, exiting the Sims completely and then restart the game to see if your sim auto resets that way. BE SURE AND SAVE YOUR GAME before doing any of this in a NEW GAME FILE from whatever file you are currently playing. Last but not least, can you just go back to your last save and start again- this time watching that he does not get eaten?

    After trying each of the above, see if he can eat his way out of the red.

    If he had died, you could have brought him back. Unless he lived alone.
