Sims and pets disappear when returning to a lot

★★★★ Novice

This has happened a couple of times recently but when my Sims go away from their lot (restaurants, work events, etc.), they'll come back and the pet has disappeared. The pet's icon is greyed out and it will say the pet is at home, but they are nowhere to be found. A few times, both the Sim and pet have vanished like this.

It's only happened, so far, with Sims living in apartments but I haven't tested Sims in houses yet. 

Any suggestions? Has this happened with anyone else?

If you have any mods move the mods folder to desktop. Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder and fix game in Origin. If you don't have mods fix the game also.
Always save the game with the option "save as." Overwriting old saves which you have played by long time by simple "save and quit" option can result such errors.
