MCCC Deleting Sims
I turned on the setting letting you have more than eight sims in a household. I went into cas to change a sim's outfit and when I came back all of my extra sims were gone. 😞 ☹️ 😠

That is normal. You should have read the warning in MCCC when you enabled this setting.
@BingBongKittyCat I can totally relate! I installed MCCC a while ago but didn't understand how it worked. I ran into some complications and changes to my game that I didn't like. I removed MCCC immediately after that and since have been slowly researching / testing it in a separate game save. So, I'm very sorry for your loss. Since mods are not supported by EA, you'll need to check with the MCCC creator through their Patreon or Discord for problems you encounter while using it.
At any rate, if you want to try getting those sims back. You could try restoring a save from a time before you lost them. In the load game menu, highlight the save you want to restore from, then click the "recover save" button in the lower right corner. (Before you do that though, you might want to move MCCC out of your mods folder until you know which settings to change.)
When you click that button, you'll be prompted with a list of your last five auto saves. Hopefully one of the save points will have those sims you lost. The downside is you will lose any progress you made in the current save.
As @jpkarlsen and @JonaO703 said, it is hard coded into the game to only allow households to have 8 sims. There are several mods out there, in addition to MCCC that do allow you to have more than 8 sims in a household but none of them override the game when it comes to CAS. So every time you take a household into CAS, sims get deleted automatically. No one, as far as I know, has found a way to stop it.
But MCCC does have a way built in that does allow you to edit those households and not lose any sims. You have to do it through an MCCC option to edit individual sims. You can find the option by clicking on the sim you want to edit and select MCCC. Look for the Sim Commands option and select the Modify in CAS option. That takes just that one sim into CAS, not the entire household.
So that is a way to manage households of more than 8 sims and not have them deleted when you go to CAS. But you are stuck using that way from then on for those households with more than 8 sims. If you forget and take the household to CAS the normal way or through the MCCC option to Modify the household, then sims will get deleted.
Hope this helps.
