    Yeah, it does sound like the sim is gone for good.  I've never played with more than 8 even though MCCC can let you, mainly because of CAS.  Since you can only edit 8 sim households in CAS, when you have more than 8, any over 8 get deleted so that could very well be related to whatever caused your sim to go missing. 

    You might want to report it or ask at the MCCC Discord though as someone there may know something about it so you can avoid it happening again.

    Hope this helps.

    That's because you used mccc and you've go to cas since you can only have 8 character in Sims the other ones will be gone for good

    Okay, so I just had this happen. It dropped off my oldest child who I worked really hard on and had a lot of history and memories with. I had another baby and ended up over the limit. I don't understand why they don't just ask you who you want to drop, or auto move someone out so the sim still exists in the game...also, I had three horses, they could've dropped ONE OF THEM! All recoverable save files with this sim are completely gone. 😭😤😡🪦🪦🪦

    I am losing my mind right now over this silly game.

    Thank you, rants over.

    @Coffeemakeshuman Was this happening with mods? The only way to end up over the household size limit of 8 is via a mod, and all of those mods include a warning on the mod page that if you increase household size above 8, you can't edit in CAS without the game forcing the household back to 8. Any warning or choice would be a suggestion to the mod creator to add. Without a mod, the game won't let your Sim get pregnant if there are already 8 Sims in the household.
