Re: Sims 4 Household Completely Gone

The same thing is happening in my game with the family that lives in the upper right apartment in Culpepper Apartments. First time this bug occurred was when I added a spouse to the family via the pop-up that appears after the wedding event (My Wedding Stories GP). Second time it happened was when saving normally after none such event had happened. I can continue playing without issue, but the following time I start up the game, another family appears on the resume button and the family I was playing in said appartment is completely gone (no matter if I load via "Resume" or "Load"). It also happened without any mods installed, but I don't have that savefile anymore. My PC is fully updated and operates with Windows, so this is definitely a game issue. It's probably tied to only a few select appartments, thus there are not many reports about it.

    This keeps happening to me and it only affects my apartment household. I can play as usual, but the next time I load my game, the household is completely gone (not even in the household tabs) and can't be recovered.

    Is there a way to send in my savegame so that the error can be investigated or should I open a new thread in the bugs forum?

    @MacigWitcher  Given that this only affects one household and that issues with this apartment aren't universal or even common, it's probably not a bug.  So there's not much point in making a bug report.

    Does the same thing happen to the household if you move them into a different house while playing?  Does the household save properly to your library, as in, can you place them in a new save and save your progress without the glitch showing up?  I'm not suggesting you need to abandon the save, only that this would be useful information.

    Please also let me know whether you've ever used custom traits on any sim in the household, or whether you use certain mods that add certain traits or other info that doesn't exist in the base game.
