My sims have disappeared after updating

Product: The Sims 4

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated with the new patch 26/7/22 and then tried to move in a family from the gallery

All of the sims in my game have disappeared since updating the game. I can see them on the load game screen but otherwise they're all gone even the NPC's. I have tried updating mods and removing mods but that hasn't fixed anything. It seemed to happen as soon as I downloaded a family from the gallery and move them in, I went to go into the household and the game glitched and there was an error but the game crashed before I could read it.

  • @JessKimball93 Moving to game issues for troubleshooting

    Have you tried removing all your mods, delete localthumbcache file and then try on a backup

    Did you try the same save where they had already disappeared ?
  • @crinrict I have done more experimenting and started a new game which is working fine with the mods, so it isn't them that has caused this its something in the update.

    @JessKimball93 Could you send me that older save ? Instructions in my signature.

    Need one before they all disappeared.
  • My sims have disappeared as well. It is very disheartening. Please EA fix this!
