Sims not becoming ghosts just automatically being culled

I keep getting this game breaking bug, it’s the third save I’ve had it in. I play in x box series x and all of a sudden I will get error code 109….. pop up and then sims stop dying properly, they will die the grim reaper will arrive but they don’t look dead and still look like they are part of the household which they shouldn’t do. 

They then get culled completely from the game and family trees and I’m left with loads of blank households in manage household with no sim attached and no name. playable ghosts are fine, they die properly. 

it was annoying when I had it before but I deleted that save and started a new one, now with life and death I can’t hold a funeral and nor can my sim get their inheritance. I’m assuming if I mark the ghost as playable they won’t get it either (I haven’t tested with one of my main sims yet). 

im really not sure what to do at this point  as I’m trying to do a legacy challenge but it always starts as I get to about the third gen. 

please help, there are less and less packs I can use each day now, it’s super frustrating!

    No I can get straight back into the household. Although any non dead sims are culled and then I’m left with the blank household

    Very odd. Guess that's the cause for the error code then. The game runs into an error and then culls the Sim. Don't see why this keeps happening in your save though.

    Nor do I but once it starts you can’t stop it and it happens any time anyone dies. But I’m 99% sure it’s connected to corruption from residential rentals from changing the lot type, because it happens on any new save as well once I’ve started messing with them.
