Lots have been done, we now have culling options so I'm going to lock this.
Feel free to open a new thread if you still have issues with this.
There's a file gameversion.txt in doc. Check what version it has.
Game version is 1.0.728.0
I keep having this problem and it has nothing to do with being homeless, as far as I can tell... For example, the most recent occurence was today when I loaded up my game after updating it to the most current version, and I go to play one of my families (I'm rotating through a few related families) and the wife is missing. Just gone from the family. She was an adult, one of the neighborhood-created "Crumps" originally but she married into my Sim family and they had 3 kids so far. She's not even in their relationship panel anymore, so she didn't just die. She's just totally gone as if she never existed.
Oddly enough, this wasn't long after she had twins (with no fertility treatment) that seemed to have inherited none of her genetics - she's black with black hair, and her husband is dark-skinned with black hair, and these twins came out white as white can be with blonde hair. So I'm not sure if it's related or not but I thought it was weird.
This has happened several times where I load the game the next day and a Sim I was playing disappeared from the household and entire game, without having had died. Very frustrating. I have no custom content, keep my game updated, etc.
So the Sim disappeared from your ACTIVE family on reloading the game ? That's a new one. Did you pay attention to the day it happened ?

I have the same problem. I have been reading to try and fix it. I had three cases of disapearing Sims, I have Sims 4 limited edition (the cd) not downloaded. Anyway, I created a family of a single male elder Sim, put him in a house and later that evenving went back to the house after leaving it to manage other sims to find him completley gone, as if he never existed. Yes I saved.
The next day when I turned on the game, I went to play with the "GOTH" family and the father vanished, no trace of him, he is not dead just vanished as if he never existed, which is strange because he is an EA created family that comes with the game. No relationships associated with him. Nothing.
My third disapearing act was a baby. One of my Sims had a baby, the baby came home, was there for 1 Sim day. I saved the game, went back to it later on in the evening and there was an icon of the sim child, as another user said, he looked nothing like the Sim parents.
My sims were redhaird, pale Sims and the child was asian with dak hair, but the strange thing was, the baby became a child within 1 sim day, but the "Child" never showed up in the game. You could click on the icon and assign actions but nothing would happen. The Sim was not on the lot, or off the lot, just gone. I knew it was a glitch, also a baby shouldn't become a child within 1 sim day, so i knew it was a glitch. I became frustrated and just killed the entire family off so that I could start over.
I have families who I play on a regular basis and I would be very sad if they disapeared because I have invested a lot of time in them and their houses. Sorry to vent but its so frustrating. 😕mileymad:
