    Oh my gosh this is so annoying! Ever since I got generations, my teen just constantly sneaks everywhere...

    She sneaks around the house, sneaks to the park, to school, everywhere! When she goes for a jog, she sneaks. When I tell her to run, she sneaks.

    She sneaks from the fridge to the oven while cooking, from the toilet to the sink... You get the idea.

    Is anyone else out there having issues like this? Is there a way to stop it?
    resetsim doesn't work either, it's driving me insane...

      Did you try moving the sim out of the house and back in? Does it do it even after quitting the game and loading? I've had this before, I think it was with running rather than sneaking. My sim did it for a few days then it finally stopped. Was very annoying though. Moving the sim would be my only other idea if you've tried resetting already. Good luck.

      Okay so i had this same problem, and no matter what i did, she wouldn't stop. I even tried moving her out and back in and it still didn't work. I figured out a way to do it that should solve everyone's problem. Send the teen off to boarding school and when he/she's gone just use your phone to remove her from the boarding school so there are no changes. You can do this all in one day and he/she will come back sneak free!

      I was having this same trouble. Tried breaking curfew again, went on a vacation, begged for forgiveness, anything I could think of. A search of the problem brought me here.

      The boarding school trick worked, thank goodness! Enrolled and removed on the same day. It DID reset his 'mood' and 'homework' in school to neutral, turned his homework into 'Old Homework', and made him quit his part-time job, but he's still a straight-A student.

      Thank you for the solution!

      I thought transitioning my sim teen to adult would solve the problem. My teen sim started sneaking when her parents went on a free vacation. The free vacation broke and only one parent came home. She also didn't have the party which like a good sim teen she wouldn't.

      So, the only way I could fix her from sneaking was to move her out of the house. It was a pain.

      I'm sooo going to try this! My sim got grounded, snuck out to go to school...I thought that alone was weird, so realizing that she never actually stopped sneaking even when she got home was just a double-whammy! Are grounded sims not aloud to go to school or did it have to do with the field trip that was planned that day.

      I just hope my sims can afford boarding school...if not then I'm sure they don't need their windows and chairs right? *kaching!* LOL

      Can you make the sim "pass out" and see if that works?

      One of my Sims got stuck in the "talking on phone" position and wouldn't move, so I sped up the time until he passed out from being tired, and that fixed it.

      I had this problem with one of my Sims - she kept sneaking even after she aged up into Young Adult. Very annoying. I finally went to Edit Town, split her out of the household, then immediatly put her back in. It gets rid of your wishes, but it fixed my sneaking problem, which was totally worth it. The sneaking was getting on my nerves.

      Someone also suggested moving out the whole family to the clipboard, then moving them back http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/442090.page#6550381. This would get rid of wishes for your entire family, but is worth a try if other options don't work.

      Whenever a sim gets stuck in some animation, I direct them to repeat the action that caused it. If stucked in the sneaking walk, try direct her to scare someone or to sneak out (or any other action that include that kind of movements).

      THIS WORKS! But can be annoying because you have to pay for boarding school. If however, you know the money cheats, like moi, you can usually sort it out using the 1,000S cheat

      it only works if you 'evict' the family rather than move them via the cell phone...

      it works everytime for me

      Type resetsim into comsole and she will stop sneaking, if not remove her from the house then move her back into that active household

      Hi! I have the whole "sneaking problem" with my teenage Sim. It's really annoying, it all started when my Sim was grounded by her Grandmother for not going to school, but when I tried to get her to go, the Grandmother wouldn't let her. I made the teenage Sim go to school anyway, but she never stopped sneaking... I don't really want to do the whole boarding school tick, as I've been trying really hard to have my Sim get a grade "F" - is there any other way to stop the sneaking?

      The solution is to got to the "edit town" screen, and move her out of the house, and into the bin to the left. And then place her back again. I hope this was helpful.

      my sister had the same problem, but she googled it and one of the suggestions said to send them to boarding school and bring them back home and it worked, she's totally fine now. it's annoying and inconvenient, yeah, but at least your teen will stop creeping you out!

      That's the two solutions to the problem. AS I don't want the boarding school for my sims (yet), I prefer the first solution.

      if you have world adventures just take your sims on vacation and back this solve the sneaking around to no need for boarding school.
