    @pettimadame Did you test that on a new save to see if it's related to a certain save or generally happening ?

    Does the family itself still show in the panel and they are just invisible or are they gone from the panel ?

Thanks for the reply!! Yes, yes, and yes! I wasn't playing with any mods at all after the update, I tried several times just to be sure I wasn't mistaken. I also did an origin repair right after at the suggestion of someone else before I came here! I deleted cache files, too. I wasn't *sure* it was a bug, but it does seem like it. This is my first post so I'm not sure where to put bug reports. 

:-) Thanks again for your reply!

    @crinrict It's a single sim- but the Sim is still visible in the panel. They are just still at the public lot where I entered CAS. I actually haven't tested with another save yet. It was a brand new save- but it's still possible! I'll add this reply as the solution if it is indeed the save itself. Thanks for your reply!

      @pettimadame Can you get your Sim home by clicking on the icon or is it all greyed out and you can't do anything ?

        Its all greyed out. I have to go to manage worlds and re-select my Sim.

    @crinrict Turns out it was just my save. Not sure what I did that caused the issue but it was a relatively new save so I'll be okay. Going to delete it and start over. Thank you for the help! :-)
