I just tested this in my game and I have no issue with them resetting unless I move the items they are using
You say it only happens sometimes. Do you find any pattern ?

I can't see a pattern at all.
The last time it happened was just now - I moved some dining chairs from the kitchen to the household inventory, and when I selected Live Mode, a child who was on her way down the stairs in the next room reset and ended up stuck underneath them.
- And again, minutes later, deleted a wall in the living room, and a sim in the next room along stopped cooking. I would guess that if there was a pattern it might be to do with rooms that are joined by a wall or ceiling?
Could you upload your house to the gallery so I can check if I can duplicate on your build ?
Okay, just uploaded. It's called Two-Up-Two-Down
- I get this at random as well. I wonder if it's because the game is connecting objects on the other side of the lot. I know sometimes when I go to delete something (or construct), the game will highlight something else on the lot far away. It doesn't look like the objects should be connected, but for some reason, they are. James aka TheSimSupply demonstrated this recently when he was building a house for his super sim. He would build a wall on one side of the lot and the stairs on the opposite side would disappear. (don't recall the name of the video at the moment, else I'd share).

I did some testing on the Two-Up Two-Down lot as well. I found I could recreate the reset almost every time if I put a couch in the middle unit on the left (white exterior), 1st floor, against the back wall and had a sim nap on it. If I deleted the walls of the nearby bathroom to the left or even the bathroom in the far left unit (same level), it would reset the sleeping sim on the couch. If I moved the bathroom to another location and then deleted remaining walls, the problem did not occur. Sometimes the problem simply didn't occur after going back into live mode and putting her back to napping on the couch. I might need to swap back and forth between live and build, trying it, once or twice before it would happen. Still, it shouldn't be hard to recreate. Here are my examples:
Above - the arrows indicate the rooms where knocking out walls caused my sim napping on the couch to reset.
Below - the arrow shows how I moved the bathroom away from the main structure. I could then knockout remaining walls in the main structure (or the moved bathroom) without causing the reset.
Given that this problem can be recreated on demand in this manner, I'm going to go ahead and add it to our list.
This most definitely has been happening to
me. I set tasks for sims to do, then enter build/buy, and when I exit it, I notice all tasks I’ve set up for multiple sims have disappeared. Sometimes merely switching between household members seems to cause resetting/clearing set interactions as well.
