[Old] Households going into hiding?

Soo I was wondering if this is supposed to happen or if my save be weird

basically what happens is multiple households have completely vanished from my manage households :scream:
but they still exist in my game? *thank universe* :bawling:

I absolutely have not deleted them in any way
because why would I even do that to poor Vlad who i very much appreciate in my game
and he is even in my sims friend lists and shows up all the time
(which well is the only way i can verify he still exists in the save and stop screaming incoherently)

Reason I even noticed game was doing this was that I wanted to move him into new house
given i finally built him one and i stole his lot earlier for my sims :sweat_smile: so he was homeless for a bit
but he simply can't be found in manage households at all
and I am confused why because most households still are there
(yes including many many randomly generated annoyances)

Erwin from strangerville was another one
but I assumed it might just be because well #strangerville

and idk even who else is hiding from me but??? just me?
is there way to stop game from doing this?

is it some weird bug cause like idk this literally has not happened to me before and ???

edit solved: if you stumble upon this and find this thread
it was because I added sim to household
and then unadded them from household through cheats

just add sim into household with cheats when you find them somewhere
you can then move them out (not via cheats) and they'll be in manage households
