Re: The Sims 3 | no sims in town problem (solved)
@silentwind2 There are a few variations on the same approach, but I think this is the simplest. Load into the household of the sim you can access and let the game clock run for a few sim-minutes. Pick what used to be an empty house or lot in town, click on a wall or the ground, and select NRaas > MC > Add Sim, then X out the list of filters. You'll see a list of all sims in the save, at least those that MC can find. Pick a single sim or a group of them, for example your former active household, and those sims should now be living on the lot you picked.
After the sims are added, let the game clock run for a few more sim-minutes, then run another MC town reset. Use "save as" again, quit, delete the cache files, reload, and see whether you can save the household to the in-game bin. You can also try loading into it, but depending on how much sim data has been recovered, that may not go well. However, given the current state of your save, it sounds like it's time to move your sims elsewhere anyway, so saving them to the library is what matters.
You can repeat the process for any number of sims you want to save. Keep adding them to separate empty houses or lots though, so you don't get any overlap with sims already living there.
