Why did 2 sims dissapear from a household

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Svenska
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? the latest as of oktober 10 2024 SP29
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All (current) expansion packs (Except Lovestruck), All (current) gamepacks (except Journey to Batuu, Spa day, and My wedding stories). I have Paranormal, Laundry Day, Movie Hangout, Cool Kitchen, Tiny Living, Vintage Glamour, Backyard, Romantic Garden, Perfect Patio. I have Castle Estate, Desert Deluxe, Blooming Rooms, and Book Nook. As well as Holiday Celebrations
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? i have no idea. make a household with 4 spellcasters and name it: "Star Wars: The sitcom" then go out of create a sim, save, and exit the game, then re-enter the game, i guess?
What happens when the bug occurs? two sims that used to be in the household i made yesterday were just... gone? i can't find them anywhere, they didn't die, because i haven't played with them at all yet.
What do you expect to see? i expect to not have sims that i worked hard on disappear from the game randomly
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

yesterday i made a household with four spellcasters, and named it Star Wars: The sitcom, then i saved, and closed the game. Today when i logged into the game to continue on that household, i opened manage households, went to "övriga hushåll" (unplayed households?) and saw that two sims were just... gone, completely gone, i didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so i have no idea what caused it. and i didn't use any custom content for it, so it shouldn't be because of that.

  • i have cc and one object mod (a wireless servo-bot charger), as well as a few mods that change gameplay (makes servo-bots immune to water damage), but i have had these mods for a while and the bug hasn't occurred before. Although, the day before it started happening, i did download a few mods, including script mods (one that makes it possible for servo-bots to become vampires/spellcasters, and one that makes the plant-sim effect permanent) 

    As of writing this, the bug has occurred again, it made me lose Vader and Palpatine, last time it made me lose Vader and Maul (does the game just hate Sith lords???). It happened when i was moving the household to a new lot. It took me like 2 hours to make them... Anakin looked really good, Sheev looked terrible, but still decent enough. I tried realoading the save, but they're still not there 😢 

    i should probably save the remaining sims to the gallery, i wouldn't want to lose Luke, Leia, Padmé, and Jango as well.

    @PeanutVonWaffle Mods can get outdated with patches so please test without them. There are a few outdated mods that can make occults disappear but you would need to check the mods forum for details on that.
