@Kita5399 There is one thing I noticed last night while playing. I have four Sims living in Everygreen Harbor now, two in Grims Quarry and one Sim in each of the other two hoods, and I have been rotating between the four households. I do spend more time at Ringo's home lot, though. It isn't like I stick with any kind of schedule. But the one thing I was concerned about was how that might affect the pets. I think rotational play actually helps to keep the disappearances from happening as frequently as they were. As soon as I began spending time with the other main Sims, Ringo has been staying put for longer periods of time once I return to his home lot.
