I think Barbara suggested that once you found where the remote was, you replaced the original image again, so that your peep would be able to pick it up.

Cross-posted here (click me)

1. I've already found the remote and it was here:



2. I've tried to use all sizes and ages of my little peeps to try to pick it up. No luck.

3. I've modded the inventory tray to the transparent one, so I could get to the remote control. While I like the transparent tray (enough where I'm keeping it), it still didn't work.

4. I've replaced the original remote.png with the new large-resized remote, hoping that might help the little peeps "find" the remote. No luck.

I've replaced the big-sized remote back with the original-sized one.


Anyone out there got any other suggestions?

*looks around, rather hopefully*

The remote is never supposed to be in that location, but we don't yet have a solution to that bug. Some people have been able to pick up the "out of bounds" remote after a lot of patient dropping, but apart from that, we don't have any suggestions.

I keep losing my remote also. It is very frustrating. I keep thinking of my Alice Greenfingers game and how you can close the inventory bar. Just a thought.

I lost the remote twice, but it was placed back to place where it should be. But The mommy kept emailing me to find the remote, and yet the remote is still on the table at the living room. Should I ignored it? Clueless!

I guess I was lucky that my peep was able to get the remote out without too much trouble (took a few tries).

Try moving the peep using different methods. Like, try moving it very, very slowly toward the edge, and then gently letting go. Or try kind of throwing it at the edge. Sometimes they "snap" backwards when they're close to the edge, and moving them toward the edge from a different direction can help.

I started a new game, and no remote.
I see where you can find it by downloading a new tool bar and or a huge remote.
I have no idea how to di this (totally computer illiterate)
Could someone please explain the steps in layman's language for me please?
