Sim households disappearing! (I have no mods)

Product: The Sims 4


PlatformPC


Which language are you playing the game in? 

English


How often does the bug occur? 

Often (50% - 99%)


What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? 

All (as of 09.10.2021) with latest update.


How can we find the bug ourselves?

I don't know, the bug occurs randomly when exiting a playable household and switching to another. Sometimes it occurs, sometimes it does not.


What happens when the bug occurs? 

A family disappears. Evicted from home. They are removed from the lineage as if dead. Because I have over 200 sims, I sometimes moved them to "unplayed household" but still leave them in their homes. It only happens to the "unplaced household sims". Never to the sims I leave in "played household".


What do you expect to see? 

My families stay there, in the property and I have no fear of them dissapearing when I play another household.


Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? 

No, I have never used mods.


Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?

I have only just noticed it happening, probably sometime after Sims Country Living release.

  • If you have set the limit to 200 the game will cull households that aren't favourited. This is standard. You can change the setting to unlimited to stop it happening, or make sure they are favourited.

    Is there a way to stop the game from creating random households? When it's in unlimited, my game lags because there are so many households. Thank you in advance! 🙂
