Hello!
After the 11/7/2017 Patch the household management has changed. Looks great but the Sim Count is not correct as you can see in the attached screenshot. I have only 12 active Sims and it says 147. What shall I do?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Dead Sims hiding in the Netherworld have also been a little troublesome lately. A dead Sim that hasn’t re-surfaced will no longer be counted toward the Sim Count in Manage Households. Phew! Thank goodness because that was a lot to count!
This was fixed in Patch 1.36.104
Good Luck

Do you get error 102 on this ?

No error 102 so far ...

Did you manually delete any Sims ?
If not, could you try the following (this will potentially totally break your game so make sure to backup)

No error.
I deleted nearly all random Sims and restarted the game. The number is still 147. Is there a cache for Sims which I can delete?

This is only happening on an existing save, right ? Do you have a different older game to see if that has a similar issue ?
Did you try unfavoriting a family and favorite them again ?

Until now I only played with one save (since the release). Maybe that is the problem ...
For testing I created a new game and the number (one Sim) was displayed correctly. Maybe it is time to start all over.

Someone at the official has this issue too: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/928503/new-patch-my-households-count-keeps-changing-for-s...
For them the count goes back to normal when they unfavorite but goes bad again when traveling. Do you see similar things ?

OK. Thanks
I'm leaving this here for now but it could be related to error 102/122
