Game culling favorite households

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: pc
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? More and more often
What is your current game version number? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If I knew I wouldn’t be asking
What happens when the bug occurs? My household vanish from my households. Just diapers like they are culled
What do you expect to see? For the game not to destroy my progress and not delete my sims
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes (I don’t believe this is the issue. I check all my mods and make sure they are up to date)
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I don’t know. After one of your patches 


The game culled two of my households in game. From my household as in my favorites not all households. Yes I use mods. It wasn’t the mods I checked. The household was recently played. The household was in my favorites. I am nowhere near the limit of sims for culling. This happened after last patch. I have never had a household disappear even from all because like I said I am not near the limit. This is a big issue when a household you build for years suddenly vanishes from your favorites. In order to retrieve it I have to lose a lot of progress. Fix it

    Why is the game culling my active households in my households. Those should be safe. What the hell? I lost two households in a day for no reason. I understand the game removes some households but why the hell would it do that with ones I am playing with. This was a household I was just playing. I switch between households and now my families I worked hard to build are gone. Yes I use mods but I am sure none of them did it. This is bs. The game got weird since last update. And no I don’t want to do mental gymnastics to get them back. Just stop screwing up the game. This is nonsense. 

  • @CircuitD Is neighborhood move out turned off for your played households (that should only move them out though, not delete to my knowledge) ?

    Did you load a backup and test without mods to see if it happens again ?

    Could you please edit your post and add the following info to your post.

    The bug template is currently working on/off but it helps if you are not prompted for the template while editing, please answer the questions anyways.

    @alexa2120 Same questions to you:

    Is neighborhood move out turned off for your played households (that should only move them out though, not delete to my knowledge) ?

    Are you using mods/cc in your game ?
  • This still continues to happen with me. I play on Xbox, I have every single pack and kit released for this game. I’ve been having this issue for awhile now. It’s just discouraging that this happens cause I spend so much time updating and creating sims and they keep disappearing. I play with no mods since I am on console. 

  • Do any of you use MC Command Center? (There's an additional option that prevents culling in that mod.)

    Nevermind. I just realized my game dropped 2 sims from my previous total of 162, so YEAH, it can happen even with MCCC "bypass sim culling" ON. YIKES! I never would have known if I didn't check for bugs here!!! I have no idea who got culled or what to do!! (Probably hunt them down, BU/re-import them, and STOP PLAYING *CRYYYYYYYY*.) Whoops, my issue was different! Found my merely hidden sims, so sorry.
