My Sims Keep Disappearing!

I was under the impression that there is no story progression in this game, but every time I leave one of my families to play another, by the time I get back to them my character's boyfriend has disappeared. I have him in my gallery and keep replacing him, but he always disappears. Today I noticed the husband of another of my Sims has disappeared also. Anyone else have this problem? Also, have we figured out a way to make the females have the same last names as their husband's yet? That's driving me nuts!

    I know this is an older thread, but something I recently noticed when I came back to playing my game

    Outdated/obsolete CC/Mods caused some of my sims to disappear - Once I removed the CC that was causing the issue, my missing sims returned and haven't been a problem since! It took a bit of trial and error to find the actual content that was the source of the problem, but a couple of reloads of a older save meant that I was able to resolve the issue and bring back the missing sims!

    I posted about it on this thread

  • Yesterday I started the 100 Baby Challenge. By midnight my sim had 7 kids. This morning when I went to play, all the kids were gone, and all her relationships were gone. The only evidence that the kids even existed are the beds that they slept on. Is there a way to get my sims back?

    They might be taken away by a social worker due to neglecting if you were playing the other household and left that family unplayed. But, if not, I am not sure.

    I see you are new to the forums so you may be new to the Sims as well?
    Are you sure you saved your game?
