OOPS! I just took a look and saw that there is. I had just forgotten, as I really haven't been much into the game lately.

By the way, I don't know how I could have forgotten that, because I made mine brighter so it could be seen when they really misplace it.

I'll try the large remote and see if it shows up. Thanks.

can someone please send me the riginal remote? Only I've made it bigger, but it isn't allowing me to change it back. Can someone help please?

Will there be an upgrade/patch to deal with that? My family had just had rainbow twins when they lost their remote 'out of bounds' so I really don't want to delete them.

I registered here to say I hope there is a patch for this problem soon. My family's remote is stuck out of bounds in exactly the same spot as the one in the screenshot someone posted earlier with the red arrow. I've tried and tried but my peeps just can't pick it up. I'm on my sixth generation and have over $526,000 so I'd sure hate to start over.

Could someone from the game please let us know if a patch is in the works? Thank you.

Has anyone tried to retrieve it using full screen? I didn't try this before I restarted my family because of the out of bounds remote.

I've had the out of bounds remote twice now. Both times I was able to retrieve it. It can take several tries.

Try with a child, since they can get closer to the edge.

Make sure the circle under the peep touches the remote with it's bottom edge. That's how I was able to get it both times.

I was in windowed mode both times, so I don't think it needs to be in full screen mode.

Oh trust me, I tried for at least an hour LOL..I had nothing better to do. Tried coming at it from all angles, speeds...even tried to throw em on there. >_< Did this with both the adults and children as well.

I guess I just got lucky then. I don't suppose I need to worry too much about it happening again, since my games on both computers are now upgraded to the latest version.

Mine was updated too when it happened Oh well! That's what backups are for, right?
