Managing Household With Mods?

So I play Sims 4 once in a while and I have one mod installed that allows more sims to be in a household. As far as I know, the mod is up to date. Today, I wanted to add more sims to household (I have done it before and it worked perfectly), so I created them, moved them to a neighbouring house and went inside. However, inside, there were only 2 out of the 6 sims I created and moved there. It shows that the four other sims are just away. So I created a household with the four remaining sims and tried to move them to another house, however none of them were there. Then I tried it again with a different house and one of the four sims was there, so I added him to household. Thats when I realised that out of the two sims that were in the first house, I forgot to add one to the household, so I went back there, but that one sim that wasnt there, like she also disappeared. So I managed to add one of the first two sims to the household and then one afterwards, but the remaining four sims are just not there. I tried to move them to another houses, but it just didnt work. I cant find the answer anywhere so Im asking here.

    If they a simply away you can just wait for them to return. But why didn't you go to manage households and merge them there?

  • The mode allows for more sims to be in one household, however, since the game doesent normally allow that, some functions like adding sims to a household through manage households doesent work. Even if there are more than eight people in the household already, if you try to add more through manage households, it just says that it crosses maximum household limit. Also, they arent just away, they literally disappear from the map forever. If I try to play as them, then I see them, and see all other sims, but if I then play as the household I want to add them to, they disappear again.

    Oh yeah forgot you couldn't add them that way when you exceed max sims in a household. Anyway it sounds like you have those households in different saves. They must be in the same save. To test chose load for your existing household and see if you see a green plumbob over both houses in manage world. 

  • Ok, I searched some of the settings the mod has and found out a way to move the sims to the households. Thanks for the help anyway!
