My Sim has disappeared!

[pinkwave]

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. I posted this in another place on this forum also. It's so hard to find help for Sims 2.

Anyhoo, I had this problem with my Sims not waking up. It was like they were frozen in bed. Everything was working normally. Time was passing, needs bars were going up and down, I could click on any action etc. I found a cheat where you could move your Sims in BUY mode. "move Objects on" Well I used it quite a few times. I could literally move my Sims out of bed. They'd either just be standing there or lying in mid air, like they were still in bed. The bed sheets would move but they were not there (strange I know). Well this time I did it, they were standing there in their jammies and then my wife Sim just disappeared. Her head icon is gone. It's like she doesn't live there. My husband Sim still has her in his wants and fears. She didn't die, she was not abducted and she didn't leave. Where is she? Help me!  {wacko}

Nevermind, I think I solved the problem. I read somewhere that if you leave the lot and come back your missing Sim will be standing by the mailbox. I tried it and it worked. Looks like everything is back to normal. I hope  {wacko}
