How do I get player-created Neighbor Sims to interact?

I've been sadly away from the game for a few years, saving up for new desktop.  Now I've started playing again, but my households don't interact with one another.  They interact with the "factory pre...

    @MGGregor  When you say the neighbors' houses aren't visible, do you mean as if you've never added them?  Are you playing one save with all these sims, or multiple different saves?  To put it another way, when you load the game to the Main Menu, where you can choose "New Game" or "Load Game," if you select Load game, do you see one save total or one for each household?

@puzzlezaddict When I choose LOAD GAME, I have multiple saves, each representing a household.

@MGGregor  That's the issue then: each of your households is its own separate save, isolated from each of your other households.  In order for them to interact, they need to be in the same save.

What you can do, if you want them all together, is save each household to the in-game Library, then place copies of each one in a single save.  The sims placed this way won't know anyone, and some progress with collections might be reset, but they should retain their jobs and skills, and I believe their household funds too.  You can save their houses as well and place them wherever you like.

If you want to make sure the other sims don't age without your playing them, you can disable aging for everyone except the active household.
