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.
