why are my sims suddenly homeless?
I had gone about a week without playing this particular household and was naive in thinking that somehow they would remain in the load game section when I booted up Sims 4. However, I can only find t...

@teamallman I can see in the households that you must have cc? It is possible that the cc is causing you issues. Please try the following and see if it fixes the issue. Please let us know how it goes:
- Exit your game then exit Origin. Copy the Mods folder from your 'The Sims 4' folder to your desktop (for future reference) then delete the mods folder and the localthumbnailcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder and restart the game and so that the game will re-create the folder.
- Then run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. After that, please see if the issue has stopped.
(If It fixes the situation you can re-add your mods/cc one at a time to see if one was conflicting with the function/causing the glitch - but do not re-add the old config file from the old mods folder, as it is possible for it to have become corrupted also.)
Removed the mods, repaired, and deleted the cache file. Rebooted and again only the last three or four sims I touched are available to play again without starting them all over. Problem still exists.
@teamallman By any chance are the sims that are left the ones you made without the cc? Is there anything that you can think of that the remaining sims/households have in common? I am consulting with other helpers for suggestions currently, also.
Unfortunately no. Those involve cc as well. The reason they show up is because those are the ones I had played most recently. The other ones I played prior to the big origin update are now in my library only and I can't access them except as a fresh play family.
@teamallman Can you please try, in the repaired game with no cc in it, to create a new family that has no cc used in it and experiment with seeing if this family will have the issue. Can you also confirm for me that when you look at the households in your library that you are not seeing that blue wrench in the upper left corner of their thumbnails? Thank you!
It is entirely possible that the households that you made with the cc in the game have become too glitchy to play correctly and that you will need to play with fresh/new households. Just to clarify, you did not re-add any mods or cc after the repair and the removal of the cache file and the mods folder, correct?
