I lost 2 Sims this past week, due to Surprising Choice pulling them to Parkside during STS. I was aware I needed to get them home to try to avoid losing them. The first one, River, was one of a set of twins born in my first legacy. He was the one who meant the most. I called him home, and had one of my active Sims carry out a couple of friendly relationship shifts to make sure he was there. A few days later, he was gone.
My second Sim was called to Parkside only a few days after River. I decided I was going to try something new to keep her from disappearing. I kept her in continuous active relationship shifts with an active Sim. This seemed to work for a while. But after 4 or 5 days she was just suddenly gone as well.
I do not have relationships or interact with my passive Sims to reduce the chances Surprising Choice will pick them and other passive bugs. It is a huge shame that in a game, I cannot feel safe enough to play with my Sims. Please fix these bugs which have existed for a long time now.
