I'm missing several households within, the lots are missing in the saves, they're in the gallery but I don't want to take them from there and put them back on the empty lots, I also have a household that I'm doing a let's play with but the house that I used was in Del Sol Valley but I redesigned it and now the redesigned house is gone and no where in my library or gallery
@Simslovergirl114 Are your saves otherwise intact, as in, are they mostly up to date with the progress from the last time you played them? The question is whether you're looking at older versions of those saves, from before the new households and lots were placed; or saves that are recent but that have disappearing content, for some reason.
For the first possibility, open a File Explorer window and search for Slot_* (with the asterisk), which should turn up any save files on your hard drive. If you find saves that have recent dates and are possibly not being read by the game, click on one of them, select Open File Location (above the list of files), and let me know the full file path to that particular save.
If your saves are up to date but households or builds have disappeared from them, try loading a backup save. Use the manual method here:

And make copies of the saves and the backups, in case you need them later.
The saves are up to date but the most recent households that I made are not showing up and thank you for the help
@Simslovergirl114 Did you try loading a backup save, to see whether the households are there? Households do seem to disappear from saves sometimes, and lots can disappear too, for reasons that are not always clear. But loading a backup save often helps. And if you don't want to lose a lot of progress, you can try saving the affected households to the library and placing them in the most recent version of the save, that is, if the households are present in an earlier version of the same save.
