I noticed because Yamachan is literally my favorite mascot ever in the Sims 4 and during this week I remember saw it a few times, few selfies and so, but since this update: 

1.68.154.1220 Yamachan didn't appear at all!… I'm worried because I just being updating and being very careful with it, so I don't know what's happening, usually the Sims 4 is very stable for me.

Ps. In case anyone has any questions I tried all, really: turn off/on the toggle in the statue, start a new safe, see if Yamachan is in one of my family bins, lock doors, unlock doors, see the door allowance of event NPC, checking if there was any conflicting NAPs, disable NAPs, see if there was any conflict with any holiday (as if), use the game with mods, without mods and nothing, Yamachan remains missing!

@aidreaurel I haven't really had a chance to play since the newest patch but as there haven't been any other votes yet, I'm not sure what's going on then.

Guess will wait for others to shed some light if they have the same issue.

@aidreaurel Even during festivals ?

If you start a new save for testing, does he also not appear ?

[aidreaurel]

He didn’t appear in any festival, indeed I noticed because it was the Festival of Youth and nothing, and no, it didn’t appear in the new save…

@aidreaurel Did you try a game repair and delete localthumbcache after removing mod ?

[aidreaurel]

I repair my game when I updated it and deleted all the caches as usual when I take mods out

Well, this is a follow-up, but for the TL;DR: IT'S SOLVED, you need to repair your game, change to English if you play in other language on the launch game settings, run the sims, quit, and change the language again if you don't play in English!

That's it, it was the last resource and apparently worked… and yes, I finally took a selfie with Yamachan once more.
