@RayneBo99 If your console isn't set as home/primary for the account that purchased your DLC, that DLC will be removed anytime your console is offline. This will cause loss of sims, and their houses in those packs.

 

Another thing that can occur, is when you add new packs, other sims are culled from the game to make room for the new sims in the packs. You can raise the limit to how many sims you can keep in your "My Households" tab in manage households, and move any sims you want to save into this tab by clicking the heart on their household.

 

If you haven't saved your game since the change occured, make sure your console is online and set as primary and reload your save. If you have saved after these changes happened, they are probably lost unless you have a backup on USB or in the Cloud.

@PoptartJuniper I appreciate your time but that's not it.

 

I hadn't added any new packs recently and I only had 50 of 150 sims. Of those sims my first sim and her lot is missing where my last 2 sims and their lot and all progress is saved. Meanwhile I took another sim to a bar and my first sim was randomly out partying like she was still an option.

 

I make sure I save often and there wasn't a "stopping point" that was missed and how is it my first sim should be gone and the last are still there?This all happened out of no where after this most recent update

@RayneBo99 What's not it? Did you check to see if your console was set to primary for every account you have purchased DLC from?

Did you load a different save or an older save from before you made progress with those sims?

@PoptartJuniper There's only one account and one save file. I've been loading and playing only one game and it's not the latest progress that's missing it's everything, even her first lot and now she's like a ghost because she is not an option to play but still shows up in other sim's interactions
