Created household, did not move into house, now missing!

Did you click the V button when exiting CAS? Because they should be in your library in that case, the game will have asked you to save your household before moving on to manage worlds. Have you enable the include custom content option? That might be why your household doesn't show up in your library at first sight.
If you didn't click the V button, but used the X button, then I'm afraid you've cancelled and the household will be completely lost.

Yes I pressed the tick not the cross button when leaving CAS. Then I pressed the cross button in the next screen where it says 'moving with...' and if you hover over the cross button it describes it as 'cancel moving'.

After selecting to include CC items the household is showing up now :) many thanks!!

Poppy, did you look under Household Management, Other Families? That's where they usually end up if you interrupt the move-in process. :)

I do that all the time when I am making a batch of sims to add to my worlds and they always end up in the Other Households section.
