I had a sim removed right before my eyes the other day. It was one of the toddlers from my boarding school. I found him hovering in the sky out to sea. His portrait was still on the left of the screen but I suspect if I'd have left him hovering for too long he would have been gone. I reset him and he came back.
Assuming the toddler didn't have undocumented magical powers or an ITF hoverboard, that usually means the game has sent the sim to an undefined location/ set of map coordinates. Guess that doesn't really help because it doesn't explain why that happened or what was going to happen next if not tended to. One known cause is a total break in the world map, although broken and malformed lot design can also trigger this. Another is a misbehaving mod (NRaas GoHere used to do this to sims using boats while boat routing was disallowed but thankfully that was fixed long ago). We've also seen sims gather together for a rebellious protest demonstration of some kind that should probably have taken place in front of City Hall, but the sims appeared to be under the ocean instead.
But if this is not a regular occurrence, it's not usually all that concerning as long as we catch it and reset the sim in time.
