Sims 4 Random household changes

I've noticed for a while that whenever I play the Sims 4, my households and world suddenly changes. If I play the game for a couple of hours, suddenly all of my households changed and every house is filled with people i didn't move in.

Like Sims from sulani suddenly live in Willow creek or oasis springs, etc. Some households merge to live with another household. Like one time, one of the Caliente members suddenly merged and now lived in the Bff household. Sims who normally don't live in a household is randomly moved into a lot. Sometimes families of six would randomly be moved into a 1 bedroom house. And on top of that, not only are my lots randomly filled with different people, but pets baby's are suddenly and randomly spawned in the households.

And checking the family tree or whatever, there's no father usually. The Sims just randomly had a baby. Even the unplayed households that are single and living alone. 

That has been the biggest issue I've had in my game. And it could be part of the save corruption bug since I have For Rent and I haven't had any trouble with my game until I got it. But it sucks to only play for like an hour and everything in my worlds suddenly change and be bugged that messes up the storytelling of my game.

  • Sounds like neighborhood stories feature they added while back 😅

    It can be disabled via household management and/or options menu :)

  • Okay I've played again since this post and my neighborhood stories is disabled. And its still does it. With the neighborhood stories off, random Sims are still moving into every lot and it's really frustrating.
