Disappearing Sims
I have the Sims 2: Super Collection installed on my Mac computer. I’ve noticed over the last few days that Sims seem to be randomly disappearing from all of my neighborhoods. NPCs, people living in h...

@wiintersoldierr , so have you gone through your CC and removed what you can live without? Just asking. 🙂
Also make sure if you play with any mods that you have the latest versions. Many folks haven't updated recently, but do check to make sure you have the latest ones.
Let's see if this works and keeps your game stable. If this works, then we can try to add back your saved games.
@Tremayne4260 Yes! I’m sorry, in my previous comment I mentioned I’ve gotten my CC down to 1.7GB and am still downsizing. Is that enough, do you think?
I’ve played a few times in the last week or so and the game seems to be stable!

@wiintersoldierr , wonderful! Sounds like that is a good number. I wouldn't go over 2GB. 🙂
Ok, did you want to try and add back your original saved games?
@Tremayne4260 Yes, I would love to! Sims kept disappearing from my saved games, and I don't know why ☹️ I would love to get them back and see if that stops happening!
@wiintersoldierr , ok, adding back saved games is a bit tricky, but not terribly so. First you need to open your Sims 2 folder in your Library and then open up the Sims 2 folder you saved to your Desktop with your saved games. Now, it would be wonderful if you could simply add back the folders, but you can't as the game won't recognize your folders. So, what you need to do is to open up the Neighborhood folder you have saved games in (so for example Pleasantview is N001) from your Desktop folder and then open up the same folder in your Library Sims 2 folder. (You should have two files open at the same time). You can copy and paste the files from your Desktop folder into the Library folder and answer "Yes" to copying/overwriting the files in your Library folder. Do this for all the files within the Neighborhood folder (and there are a lot of files there, but you need to copy over all of them). You can simply transfer them over as well.
I hope this makes sense and if not, please feel free to ask me to clarify anything for you. 🙂
