@TattedScorpio86 I checked your save and while I didn't have issues with travelling with the family (didn't try enrolling and moving), I noticed that you have this issue on almost all other households: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/MOD-RELATED-Sims-disappeared-from-household-Blue-flashing-square/m-p/8428174#M155726
This is a savegame corruption for saving the game with an outdated mod in unfortunately can't be save because the Sims got deleted from your game, leaving the empty household behind.
I checked the oldest backup and that unfortunately is also corrupted.
Do you have any other backups ?

Oh dang.. do you think if I move my sims 4 folder and play that'll fix it?
- @TattedScorpio86 Don't think so cause I could duplicate. Means it's saved with the save game.
Going back to a working backup or start a fresh save (after removing the faulty mods) seems to help with this. I completely moved and deleted the existing sims 4 folder (mods included) and restarted my game 100% over, 5 years worth of achievements gone. So far its working alot better, once my teen ages up I'll test moving into uni. I greatly appreciate your help!!
- @TattedScorpio86 Make sure to create regular backups in the future, especially if you intend to use mods.
Basically, before patching, create a copy of your saves folder to a safe place. You can also do it after patching but make sure not to start the game before doing the backup. I will definitely from now on. The fresh restart worked, my sim was able to move into uni dorms, thank you so much for your help!
- @TattedScorpio86 You're welcome. Enjoy your new game
