I just created a topic and no one replied yet to fix it about this and I’m devastated my newest sims was passive and no longer playable. The dad and one of four sisters and two brothers 😔😔😔 Then there’s a sim i removed ages ago and he just moved in and I can’t remove or play him ughhhhhh
@Phantomlover1717 Yes ma’am
@brucegaretz I’m so upset honestly that was the dad. They all lost their relationship with him snd Sadie one of two twins of ALL SIX kids is also off the list as well. My family got torn apart and is M I A and I am MAD! I didn’t get an heirloom and I wasn’t even done with him yet. Other was a grandchild/daughter/sister/aunt/cousin I worked sooo hard! I’m so mad
@brucegaretz I’m talkin about family disappearing #helpmeplease
@Nighyon PREACH!
Was it family tho?

My SIM's husband disappeared after having a baby. I started a new relationship with another SIM from my friend list this weekend, they had children and I made her passive to use another SIM for a Daily Task. Now I just attended that player's party and they are strangers so does it have something to do with making a SIM passive for a short while?

I made my sim Passive and then playable two days later only to discover that he no longer has a wife. She has disappeared from his relationships list and contacts list. Can’t even see the sim around town anymore.

My sim lost her relationship story progress with another player’s sim, I can’t find that sim in my sims’ contacts or around the town. I’ve noticed that this bug usually happens with story progress with another players’ sims if I keep changing my sims from playable to passive.

This just started happening to me this week. Out of nowhere, all my Sims were missing several contacts. Ranging from new contacts to old. Some are other players' Sims that they interact with each day, and I can no longer summon them or find them in the contacts page.
No missing relationships this time, thankfully (only one that went missing a few months ago after I made a Sim passive). I hope there can someday be a way to get these missing Sims contacts back.

I have merged your post with an existing thread about the same issue.
As @sc3dqp9ugkbi mentions, you can try using one of your active Sims as a backup for your contacts, but that also is not 100% safe.
If you make this Sim passive, you will risk missing contacts. When you reach around 80+ contacts, they will tend to disappear too.
