After update kids disappear AGAIN

I’m about to try to make sims and see if the disappearing still happens I will let you know as well 

Wow, that is completely unacceptable. You can't expect people to just start over. Also, the only way to reset Maxis hoods is to delete/rename/etc. the user documents folder. What a massive pain that no one will expect to have to do. It's SICK to expect players to jump through all these hoops.

Also extremely importantly, because we don't know what ELSE might go wrong, this is a massive deterrent to playing at all, new save or not. All that's safe is some throwaway test. UNACCEPTABLE.

Rereading your post, I see that you expect EVERYONE to start a new "save" (not how it works in Sims 2!) after this patch, and possibly the next patch(es). Are you kidding me??? You didn't even promise that the next patch or so won't require this. It's not even safe to start a new "save" (it's Neighborhood, by the way, Mister Sims 4). It's not safe to play!! Why not just admit we should all refund our money until the Legacy Collection is fully patched? I've been thinking about getting a refund all day. I hate this.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. So far, everything seems to be fine. I hope it stays that way—The Sims 2 was my favorite childhood game. Thank you for your help!

Does new save mean I have to delete and upload the game again?  Are all of the towns that I played before the update unplayable if I don't do that?

I am having this too. My toddler and child sims will disappear after visiting community lot. I have played only with aliens so i dont know if this will happen with normal sims too. I have reinstalled game today (7.2.2025) so all my saves are new and made after last patch.

In this picture one of my sims was visiting community lot of Strangetown. After that my toddler sim was gone. His name had been erased from his father's memories. There is only "§Subject".
