One of my child sims died by freezing to death. I chose for them to become a playable ghost but they were in my household as a normal sim. I closed the game and repaired it hoping when i reloaded it the sim would be a ghost but they were not. they then died again and this time i selected for them to be a free roaming ghost and they disappeared from my household but when I went to plan a funeral they didn't come up so I looked at my family tree and they were still alive but not in my household. I looked in manage worlds and couldn't find the "dead" sim. I once again saved and exited and repaired my game but the sim is still alive in the family tree but also doesn't exist/ can't be found in manage worlds.
