[CoL] The Moody & MacMillan household is removed from game

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I own everything
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open a new save with Cottage Living installed.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Moody and MacMillan family disappears from the neighborhood.
What do you expect to see? I want to play the only other gay male couple, the other being the Hecking family.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I haven't played the Henford neighborhood very much, just enough to explore. Last night after the bug fix update, I tried playing the Moody household and was shocked to discover some random NPC family had moved into their house. I looked in the unplayed households and the Moody family was no where to be found. So either they both died, or they were never there.

The July 20th patch up date broke most of my fav CC mods, so I've been playing without mods in a new save, after clearing all the various caches. So you cannot blame me for this.

A side complaint, I like the design of the Hecking family, but I always rename them. Because their name is based on a homophobic naming joke, which EA has never apologized for. Therefore I was excited to finally get to play with a new gay male family included with this latest pack. But some bug keeps killing them off! I have started 3 new saves trying to play them, each time their house is either empty or occupied by some weird NPC family. Please restore them, thank you.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title, Added Base Game Version Number

  • @corndolphins Hm, how long have you played them ? as they are both, they might have died off.

    I know I've seen them around town in my save.

    What age length are you playing on ? Do they disappear right away for you on a new one ?

    The first time after loading the game with Cottage Living I was able to visit them once. I played my other families for 1 sim week, when I went back to check on them they had completely vanished and another family was living in their house. I started a new save to see if I could save them to my library, but in the new save they were not even in game. Not even in the Unplayed Households button top right. I tried a 3rd save after restarting the game and once again the Moody family was completely missing.

    I have seen others in the Sims4 Reddit posting this same issue.

    @corndolphins Did you delete the localthumcache file after removing your mods and did you move the folder to the desktop or just disable the mods ?
