What happens when the bug occurs? When a sim has a familiar present for a while.
What do you expect to see? That if a sim has a familiar present it will stay present even if I play with other households.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

‌

So, if my sim has a familiar present after a while it disappears without me telling them to do so. If I play with another household the familiars always go back to the void. it feels odd that they won't stay present, because when you're in the Realm, or anywhere for that sake, you expect sims with familiars to still have them present when you meet them. Now it's just the played sim who has it (and even when you play with them the familiar suddenly will go back to the void without me telling them to), and that takes away a bit of the magical feeling.

@SqueamishNerd I sometimes get a message that they don't have room to spawn and then they disappear. Did you never get such a message ?

As for rotational play, I'm assuming that's cause they go about their lives while you're not playing them.

[SqueamishNerd]

I've never got any messages about them not having room to spawn.

@SqueamishNerd Do they disappear only when you travel somewhere or also randomly at your house when you're moving about ?

Any idea if it's when you're going to certain places (like taking a shower maybe) ?

[SqueamishNerd]

I happens randomly, haven't noticed it happen on specific occasions. Not when showering, bathing, sleeping, going to the toilet or anything like that.

I can confirm this.. not sure if times out on buff or bug,  so random when it does. you can have them out for hours then gone the next

@crinrict, I can confirm this too.  However I'm not sure if they disappear randomly, or jus when I'm traveling.  I was not playing rotationally at the time, and I have no Mods/CC.

I just figured it was by design.  That they only stayed for a limited amount of time and then you had to summon them again.

@PugLove888For me it doesn't happen when I travel.
