Sims disappear

Question

I have a world that me and my sister both play on frequently by taking turn and my sister has about 8-10 family's that she switches between, while i only have 3 families. Recently my sister was playing one of her family's fir the past 2 days straight and when i got on to play my family they had been removed from their homes and moved into the gallery as if they have never been played. I lost all my money and skills that i put into them but it didnt happen to just this family i had another family that also disappeared from my game and was moved to the gallery. There were also random sims that neither of us had created moved into the house that they lived in. My sister's family's are all still in the game however and haven't been touched. Is there a way to stop this from happening or to retrieve them with their previous skills and money?

@troupe2253&nbsp; Try loading a backup copy of the save:

There's no guarantee that any of the backups will go far back enough in time to contain the missing household, but maybe you'll get lucky.

And yes, going forward, it would be better to have separate saves.&nbsp; At the very least, keep backup copies of the main save so that you can revert if something like this happens again.

In general, the game is supposed to protect (i.e. not cull) households that have been played, but ever since Neighborhood Stories arrived on the scene, this has been less than reliable.

@troupe2253&nbsp;You should have each your own save game so that what your sister does doesn't influence your sims and vice versa.
