I’m sorry to have to say this but I lost one of my Sims several months ago and he never returned. He was about 8th generation, so an adult child of one of my Sims in a long line of Sims. I had made him passive about a week earlier; but I really liked him and intended to make him active again soon - I was just developing a storyline for his wife. Needless to say, I was very upset and complained to EA but the response was flippant - “he’ll show up!” Which only made me more angry. Now if I want to create a storyline for a spouse, I try to do it in a few hours. It’s a serious glitch which EA doesn’t seem interested in fixing. A few days ago another sim (13th generation) disappeared but this one did show up the next day. I’m still trying to get the two Sims to the point where one of them can propose. They already have a child together.
P.S. I’m not a “novice”. I’ve been playing the Sims since the ‘90s.
@hastingshouse "Novice" just means you haven't posted much on Answers HQ. That ranking increases the more you post. It has nothing to do with how long you've played, it's strictly for these message boards. 😊
Also, The Sims (the first one) came out in 2000, so I assume you mean that you've been playing other Sim franchise games since the 90s (SimCity, SimEarth, SimAnt, etc.). Me too!
And the Sims Online lol. The game had promise and I made a lot of friends (we even went to visit them in AZ and they came to see us here, near Toronto) but we were glued to workbenches making gnomes for DAYS! Some ppl even had a family member spell them so they could sleep. Crazy!
