Sims 4 Dead sims resetting into other households and other problems

Okay I have this problem with the sims were when a sim dies or a sim moves out they reset or can no longer be found.

Okay for the sim dying thing when a sim dies in my game I get the grave or the urn, But when I look on my family tree they are not greyed out like they should be and it doesn't state their death, and when I look into relationship the sim is completely gone like they didn't exist. What's even weirder is when I'm playing the game for a long time they randomly start showing up in other households I didn't place them in and with no traits or aspirations, sort of like the sim has been reset and added to another household even though they are suppose to be dead.

For the sims moving out when I move a sim out, they will be in household manager until I exit the manager then they'll completely disappear I've looked in played households and non played even in currently not in worlds, It's just like they disappear. And similar to the problem above the sims who knew that sim won't even remember them at al all and They'd show up in a random household without traits and aspirations.

When I check household manager and find them in another household I find their relationships glitched out as well, doing stuff that isn't possible in the game like being married to a teen or having an affair with cousin.

I don't have any mods installed only CC clothes and hair.

    You need to zip the files and upload to mediafire/googledrive or dropbox

    Then send Nick the link

  • Hi simmers, I tried addressing this issue a few months ago but ever since the latest patches the problems have gotten progressively worse.

    I’m starting to have major problems with relationship mainly, for some reason if I don’t speak to a sim for a certain amount of days the friendship completely disappears from being friends to strangers. But in the last two patches things have been getting a little strange I briefly mentioned sims resetting into other households.

    But I was looking more into it while playing my game and it seems as though the sim data of certain sims gets deleted and they no longer exists. In my relationships I have a sim called Loucretia she died of old age in my household I got her urn but on the family tree she’s not greyed out like a dead sim should be, it’s like her data was erased leaving only her picture because I have more information to back up my theory, when I go into my friends she has completely disappeared from their friends even though she is their mother and usually when a sim dies their picture becomes greyed out in the friends like it should be in the family tree, what’s even stranger is for random townies that know her  can invite her over but when I try to invite her over it says “Loucretia Slade Robledo not found” Like she doesn’t exists when I know she does because I played with her.

    I briefly spoke about my relationships for certain sims being messed up with Elders resetting into other households being married to teens this has gotten better and doesn’t happen as frequently.

    It seems as though things are deleting themselves as the game progresses on.

    This may just be happening because my save file is very old.

    I tried sending my save files last time but found it difficult to do so since there was no option to attach files.

    I did have Mc command center at one point but that was months ago and I have never had problems with it but I removed it since I found it to difficult to use and didn't want to mess up my game.
