    Sims can properly merge or move households with NPC Sims "not in world"; the merge/move button is now accessible. It’s all about bringing families together!

    Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92

The same bug happened to me too and I've investigated a little.

Game does not accept that you merge your household with another one that has not a house. I've discovered this bug when I've tried to invite in my family the gardener and then it has happened the same with random sims, but I have been able to invite the Vatore family in Vladislaus household.

@Elly3058I've noticed that the game actually does not freeze, just does not do anything. You should be able to solve the situation just letting your sim join the other household (yes, the opposite is admitted), but then the game will obviusly ask you to buy a house for your family and all the collection progresses of your household will be lost. It is really annoying and I actually hope that will be fixed soon.

Edit: at the moment the only real solution is to merge the households (no house -> with house) through Manage wordls.

Every single time I try to merge households together in rentals it never works the game always freezes and it happens everytime, I've resorted to just going through manage worlds but it's not at all the same.

    It should be the same bug reported in can’t merge households. Take a look and if you want tell us if it is the same for you, if you have noticed something else or there are differences between your situation and the already reported ones.

      It is the same problem for me too. 

      -- This appeared after "For Rent"

      -- The Sim I want to merge into the current household is not in the world at the moment. 

      -- If I move my current SIM to another SIM's household which is not in the world atm, that works. 

      When the dialog to split/merge households appears, I can switch the sims between the households (and their money). When pressing the checkmark button to confirm, nothing happens, and the button becomes inactive. The dialog is not possible to close, because the close button on the top-right corner is inactive.

      The only way to recover from this bug is to either
      1) close the game and not save the progress, or
      2) move into the not-current-household which is not in the world, and move back to the same house right away (and decorate the house again), and lose the ownership of the rental houses.
