    Father Winter’s Babies:
    With a snap of his frozen fingers they were gone. Not some. Not half. But all of his children. Gone. While that is certainly one way to abdicate parental responsibilities, it’s admittedly not the best look for the Sim with a supposedly pristine reputation. Father Winter’s PR team and media handlers have assuredly taken note of the social backlash, and a subsequent press release has stated that he will no longer banish his children.

    Fixed in Patch 1.47.51

    Be aware that you won't get any already missing babies back.

    You will need to load a save from before the patch or if you have them in your library, re-add them.

HI @FeralTaoc

do you have a backup from before the patch ? Did you save the game when this happened ?

Did you have the Father Winter children multiplying issue ?

    There was no issue with children multiplying and they were not left unplayed in my case. The similarity is that I could see the sims in the household before clicking play and efter entering once they were gone. I didn't save the game after that point and I'm currently downloading backup files. Should I let it update again and see what happens or turn it off?

      I meant a backup of the save game before they disappeared. The game usually makes automatic ones you can recover if you haven't' saved too many times.

        Right. So I could recover a save from about two days ago and the exact same thing happened. Sims visible clear as day before entering the household, then gone.
