Needing some help if anyone knows: I opened up my computer today to hop on TS4 only to find my game was un-downloaded. I redownloaded and then hopped on and my family I was playing with was missing 4 Sims. I tried removing my mods, restarting/repairing and trying another save with no luck. I sometimes can see the whole family in the preview but then just the dad and son once the house loads. I finally realized that it's my vampire sims that are missing but all my packs ARE downloaded.Any ideas? I am getting a popup when the family loads saying something in CAS was removed/is no longer available.

@LlonessRampant Which packs are you missing? Does the EA App think they're owned and installed? You can check in your game library, under Sims 4 > Manage > Manage add-ons. Please also let me know whether any of your owned packs are in fact loading in-game. To see what is and isn't loading, try filtering CAS or Build/Buy by pack. The ones that aren't installed will be unselectable.

Everything seems to be loading just two ofy families I was playing have the vampire sims missing. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled again, it's recognizing all of my packs but I can't get my missing sims back. The house is in the vampire town and nothing else she's to be glitching. I can see the missing sims in the family selection before I load the house but once it loads they're all missing and aren't in the relationship profile any longer. Since one toddler that was left behind is human I can see the vampire mom in the family tree but all the others don't show up. ResetSim can't locate them either

@LlonessRampant Try recovering one of the backup saves. You might have to go a few versions back. https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/

I've tried with no luck, they're still missing even from days ago. I appreciate the effort!

@LlonessRampant Does it help to evict the household and place them back in their house, or a different one? Other than that, are you willing to use a mod to try to fix this? I don't know for sure that it would help, but there are certainly ways to experiment.

No, moving them doesn't help - even if the photo/household shows all of them when I go into play (no matter where) they're missing still, I even tried different neighborhoods with no luck.
I would try mods if it's easy to figure out. What might work?

@LlonessRampant

Do you have other vamps in your save game and they are fine or did all of them disappear ?

I believe all of them are missing, I haven't checked every single family yet but the other family (across the street) is missing their vamps as well

Ugh sorry to hear it, I haven't been able to recover mine. Some in another town are still present though. My game is having serious issues now (not loading after saves or going on a date). After my vamps went missing and I was having problems I did buy the newest expansion and wonder if those are my new problems now.
