Sims 2 Sim Deletion Bug

I've noticed that after loading back to my sim's house, that some sims will just be deleted from the game. I've had this happen to me FIVE times and have had to restart progress each time. Recently, my sim had twins and when I had the father come back from buying clothes for them, he came back to a household with only his wife and cat. The kids were gone. The kids had just recently aged into toddlers and I was really excited to continue their story. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

  • I'm hoping EA will fix this bug. It's happened with my Sim cats Sheba,Neko and Teddy.

  • misstwig Rambley_Raccoon madsgarrett25 Please let me know whether your Sims 2 user folder (Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy) is on OneDrive and if missing Sims still appear in other Sims' memories, or if they had been replaced with $Subject. Also check if there is an antivirus that could be flagging the game and preventing it from from creating new character files.

    Onedrive isn't turned on for me and my antivirus shows no history of flagging the game. I did go back in my game and saw that when I am loading the household, the two toddlers do show in the loading screen, but they aren't actually in the game once the household is loaded. I checked memories and saw they were renamed to $Subject.
