Re: Sims loose all of their relationships when I switch between families to play

@777Lacie777  When you switch households, are you going to Manage Worlds, clicking on a different household, and playing that one?  Or are you returning to the Main Menu, clicking Load Game, and choosing a different household there?

The Load Game function lets you switch between saves, not between different households in the same save.  Each save progresses independently from all the others, so a friendship your sim makes in one save wouldn't exist in any other.

    Yes when I want to switch between households I'm going to Manage Worlds and then click on a different household. No loading game.

    @777Lacie777  Relationships will decline over time and can even get culled at some point, but that shouldn't happen right away, only after you haven't played that household for a while.  Is there any other progress missing from the household where the sim lost a friendship?  For example, does the sim still have all the skills (and the proper levels in those skills) that they had before you switched?  Did you build or buy something new from the house that's now missing?

    @puzzlezaddict the objects from sims inventory are also missing sometimes. For example my witch bought brooms and wands and they dissapeared from the inventory along with relationships. No missing things from build buy mode.

    @777Lacie777  Do you get any LastExceptions when this happens?  Please look for them in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.  If you see an LE that's recent enough to be related to this issue, please upload it here.  You can create a .rar file and attach it, or copy and paste the text into a post.  (Use a spoiler tag.)

    @777Lacie777 Could you delete all the exceptions you have, then trigger the error and see if you have a new one ?

    Do you save your game before you switch households ? If not, try a save as before switching and check if the relationships stay.
