All of my Sims are gone, NPCs aren't dead as they should be.
My Sims are gone, and dead NPCs are resurrected.
Yep.
I didn't delete anything, except for a few pieces of CC, but that was about it.
I did download the Vampire Pack and update my game, recently.
I opened up my game today to make a cute vampire sim when i noticed there weren't any green plumbobs (that means you have a household over there) above San Myshuno and Windenburg.
I checked my played households and Unplayed households tab and the only sim i knew was my finished vampire sim.
Something weird happened: All of the NPCs were alive, and exactly how they were when i first purchased the game.
Bob, Eliza, (i mean, maybe their toddler had something to do with it?), the Caliente sisters, the roomies, even the NPCs from the expansion packs were alive and well-- which is weird if you've spent 160 hours on this game since 2015.
not that i'm complaining, but my sims were gone. As if i was playing through a new account.
not to mention every. single. lot i made had vanished. My Newcrest...
i spent so much time on redecorating the penthouse, and my 3 generation family ;-;.
Is this an issue with the latest update? Or the game pack?
P.S I have tried reentering the game, thrice actually, but no luck. My CC and mods were working perfectly fine, but my sims are the ones with all the problems.
They changed the way you add new Sims
You need to load your game and then use the new create a Sim button in the lower right corner of the map view to add new Sims to a certain save game.
