Sim will not go to work- stuck in loop

[glowing_skies]

Alright, so let me start off by saying this happened in a 'hood that was cleaned for the build-a-city challenge, in case that has something to do with it. My sim has a job in the politics career, and she would go to work and come back just fine until she hit the third level. Now when the carpool comes she'll get in, drive off, and then teleport back to the house in the "in-a-car" position. If I tell her to walk to work, it does the same thing as soon as she walks off the lot. I tried rehiring her at the bottom of the career, but it's still happening. I moved lots, in case it was a glitch with that. Didn't help. The only way I can get her to go to work properly is to save the second she exits the lot, completely exit the game, and load it back up. I ran a hack conflict test and it found nothing, and the house is built on a normal 2x2 lot so none of the teleport things were messed with.

Is there anything else I can do to figure out what's causing this? Or just a way I can make it stop?

Remember how, when you posted this, you were first directed to the FAQ? That really is your best bet at this point. Don't just read it - do it. It doesn't take as long as it looks like it would, and it doesn't matter that some of it doesn't make any sense. Any file can get corrupted, the most absurd things can cause glitches in the most outre parts of the program, they're unpredictable, and this is exactly the sort of thing that could happen from a random corrupt file. Back up your game, get a book and a drink and some soothing chocolate, and settle in for a period of testing. Take notes as you go.

If you do the whole thing and nothing helps, come back and tell us what happened at each step, and with that additional information maybe someone will be able to tell what's wrong.
