I'm also having deceased sims disappear-- they will disappear from the relationship panel (where they used to just be greyed out to show that they were deceased) and their tombstone has a _____ in lieu of a name.

It's happened to me a few times. Maybe they are dying before disappearing, but they're not showing up in the relationship panel of their kids/spouses/siblings/etc. so I have no way of knowing. (Also None of them have been elders so I don't see why they'd die why I wasn't playing them.) So far, twice it was a Sims-created person that I married into my family-tree-families - but the first time, it was my original, first ever made Sim (for that one, I reloaded an old save to get him back). For the most recent one, the day I loaded the game was yesterday - Wednesday the 1st - and the last time I had played before that was Sunday or Monday, I think.

I thought I was having this issue but could never remember sims names and who I interacted with. Now, it is now confirmed, though it does also evoke another already listed bug. I'm playing a modified legacy and had my eldest get married to a sim (Logan Serna). They had a baby who lived with the mom. Upon marriage the prompt never came to move them in together or anything. At the end of the night Logan went home and would not return because she was "sleeping." The next sim morning I went to have my sim call her to get this sorted (move mom and baby in and then move them all onto another lot to keep this disappearance from happening), well she's officially gone from my relationship panel, and I can't find her in the world, but my sim still has the married moodlet. The strangest part is his daughter (a baby born the day before the wedding) is on his panel, but he can't do anything with her or despite never meeting her they are friends.
No mods, no cc, gaming rig with more than basic requirements.

So I realized I was missing another played character; I didn't notice before but it happened at the same time - a played teenager disappeared from one of my other familes. She is totally gone from everyone's relationship panel - parents, siblings, etc - like she never existed.
This is making it very difficult to have fun playing different families if every time I switch families or load the game, there's a chance someone will have gone totally missing.

If I make friends or meet the new sims, they always dissapear from my network list for next day and this make things hard for me get a promotion

The only "solution" we know this far, isn't really a solution, but more of a work around. Like you say, those you've created yourself is not disappearing. This is not necessarily because you made them yourself, but because they are living in houses. It is mainly sims without houses, so called townies that disappears, although it has been reported disappearings of all kinds of sims.
The only "solution" we know, is to move the households/families you want to keep into houses. This way, they get higher priority than townies.
Reinstalling will not help, as the problem is guaranteed to reoccur when population (both dead and living) reach 180.
I've also tried to contact EA support, but they've only given me a very bad picture of the EA company. They litterally lie to me, giving me fake advice instead of admitting that we're dealing with an unsolveable issue at this point.

I'm not just missing a few sims, I'm missing just about all of them. Today I noticed my entire Willow Creek town and most of Oasis Springs is empty, meaning no played or unplayed households are showing except three in Oasis Springs - one I created and two that came with the game. Every single house in Willow Creek is empty. I'm missing the Goths and Roomies, both which I had played previously. The household manager lists all households, but all of them but three don't show any sims (just the backstories that come with the game), and the "move household" button is grayed out and says I can't move the household into a lot because the household is empty. This is infuriating and sounds like a bigger problem than what others have been experiencing. Any help would be appreciated.

They are disappearing at random times throughout the day & on different days. The phone chatting incident took place on a sim Monday morning, less than 24 sim hours after she lost the first 2 sim acquaintances she had met. She then attempted to befriend 2 more sims the next day, & they were both gone by the next morning ( in sim time ).
