Can only play one Sim at a time/other Sims missing/gallery/houses

No CC/Mods

Packs listed below*


Plenty of HD space & RAM, no error messages.
Issue started after I created a sim and moved her into an already created house in Henford-on-Bagley.  I usually build on an empty lot, never used a built lot before on this install until today.

I have 5 households created in Sims 4, each with a lot with a building.  
I deleted a few, then created new.  Some of the deleted ones show up in my gallery with one particular sim being played. 

When I fire up the game and select 'Load Game' I pick my sim, then save my changes, then go to the gallery to look at my other households.  My gallery only shows the Sim I'm playing.  When I manage worlds, none of my other households are available, their lots are empty.
This happens with each of my 5 households - I get empty lots that should be populated with my households.

How do I get it to show all of my current households in my Gallery to show up?

    I meant manage households.  

    I'll have to screenshot when I get home.

     I hope my screenshots make sense.
    They show my save games then manage households only has one available.
    I can't upload all my images at once, but this might help.  I have others if you need.

    Thanks a bunch for helping!

    @The_Mercuria Looks like you started a new save for each Sim. You need to put them all in the same save if you want to have them all at once.

    So basically start each save game and upload your Sims to the gallery. Then decided on one Save and place each family from the library into that save.

    If you Click on a house  that doesn't have a Sim living there or on a empty space and then choose the button in the right lower corner to add a new Sim.

    I saved each household by using "save as" so that I could name them. (rather than my saved game 1, my saved game 2, etc)

    As I create a new sim and move them onto a lot, I 'save as'.  I never knew that you could make multiple saves.  I'm not even sure I understand what that is.  Could have sworn a few years ago when I was still playing that I saved and never had to go to the main menu to select another sim to play - I could just go to manage worlds and pick a house.

    Now I have to upload to the gallery?  I don't want to share my crappy sims with the gallery.  ☹️

    @The_Mercuria You can just load them to your local library. You have to do it from CAS. So take them to CAS and you should have the option there to save them to your library.

    Save as usually creates a new save game if you don't re-use the existing game.
