Default Reset Sim and Late Night apartments.
I've noticed a major issue with the resetsim cheat when dealing with NPCs living in High Rises. Whenever one of these NPCs gets reset, they reappear inside the "Hidden Room" behind the NPC Door. When Using Nraas' overwatch, this results in an endless loop of resets, causing noticeable lag, and the only solution I've found is to force kill the NPC so they get replaced.

Is there a fix for this? Perhaps a function to change where a reset sim is placed?

I don't think that there's any other solution but to turn off Overwatch's Stuck Check while you play in a world that has Late Night apartments. I have it turned off for all worlds, by the way, because I think that it causes more problems than that it solves them.
Another possibility would be to add doors to all hidden rooms.

I don't think it has anything to do with Overwatch. My NPC did this before I installed Overwatch. Sometimes they pop up inside my apartment or just walk in there.

I think what Fly666monkey describes is something different, mainly that Sims end up trapped in the blacked-out hidden rooms in apartment buildings, like the empty spaces behind the lobbies in highrises or the areas behind NPC doors. This mostly happens when sims get reset by either the game or mods (Overwatch in this case), as the game apparently cannot distinguish between playable and unplayable rooms.

You mean like this?



Yes, this did happen way before I got Overwatch. And is still happening.

I see. Thanks for the advice. Shame that I have to turn of stuck check, but it beats having to kill off my NPCs all the time.
