11 years agodisappearing sims?
When ever i start a new family on Sims3, then save and quit the game, then come back on to the family, when i want to play again, usually one, or maybe two sims3 have just dissapeared! its so annoyin...
Babies and toddlers do like to dissappear (accidental death) but they usually don't disappear from the family tree like this.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
Then before putting anything back, start a new game and see if it happens again. You can also try if turning off StoryProgression helps
Thankyou, i will try that. But this is the first baby that is missing. What i mean is on another game save, i had a 2 young adults, male and female, and then the female just went missing, before i left the game(when i frist made them), there were friends, but now(when i load the game up the second time) he has no relatiopnship with her, he didnt know her! and then i had 3 girls at university, when i opened the game, once a again i had a missing sim! but this time, the sims was just 'sent home' from university, and the sims i was playing still knew her(if i clicked on her photo in the relationship bar thing, it said call long distance). therefor i carried on at uni, hoping the i would be able to play the sim that got 'sent home' when they finnished uni, but when the loading screen came up to load back to brigeport from the university world, it actually never loaded, i left it loading for 30 minutes and then gave up! my games annoying so much i cant play any saves!

Also it does happen that Sims move away if you have StoryProgression activated.
