What Does It Mean When Your Sim's Icon Disappears?

My Sim is standing in front of his house, yet his icon disappeared from the bar. He's still there, he's not in the process of dying. He's still there! How on Earth am I to control him without his icon. And why is my game so bugged? Things were going great. I guess I'll exit without saving and see if he's still in the family. If not, I'll roll back. This is flat out weird.

  • If he wasn't dying, it definitely sounds like a glitch. Things are always buggy after a new expansion, so hopefully they'll be able to get things running again soon.
  • I have an update. I exited without saving, deleted the localthumbcache.;package and then went back into the game. Erik is now back in the row of icons with his family. Phew! I'm beginning to think a Gremlin has crawled inside my gaming rig and is giving me a bunch of grief. First one thing and then another. It's crazy town here.
  • @GalacticGal hopefully you can move off of "struggle street" soon. I think you've lived there long enough.
