It sounds as though you picked him up at the very moment he died. Normally the game would have moved him to his bed, but it "lost" him. When you restarted the game it "found" him again.


Thanks! This is actually what I wanted to know (what happened when I picked him up). I was so involved in giving all those details, though, that I forgot to ask my question. blush

Thanks, everyone, for your responses! I don't feel so bad about this any more.

Meanwhile, I have accidentally restored the family back to before the mom died from a backup, when I meant to give myself a second chance at picking the child that I wanted to inherit the house...
