Part of my neighbours are missing from the Party Boat
I noticed this in the morning of Jan 28th, 2021, last evening the boat was normal, so it did not coincide directly with the update 5.58.0 as I updated the morning of the 27th, though that still might be a factor.
I connect through FB
Normally, all goes missing but this time some are still there
Usually a log out, hard close game, open and log in will bring back active neighbours but not this time
Another step is to remove the permission for Sims FreePlay from FB and then reconnect and give new permissions, that did not work either
I know I am not alone with this problem, for some it is part of the neighbours, for others it is all.
If you have this issue, please, hit the "Me too" button
I do not know if this is on FaceBook or Firemonkeys
I have not yet contacted Firemonkeys but if you'd like to I'll link it below
Contact Firemonkeys support: https://help.firemonkeys.com.au/hc/en-us/requests/new or get there in game: green ... button at the bottom of the screen; Talkbubble with ?
I personally can not sign in with chrome, so you might need to try different browsers
Or contact support via FB or Twitter, links are at the bottom of the page

Hi folks,
Thank you to those who've reached out so far. We continue to look into this issue but in the meantime we may have a workaround to recover some of the missing neighbors.
There is a Facebook account setting that may be causing some of the missing friend issues. It's a privacy setting and some of the missing neighbors might have it set in such a way that even people set as friends cannot see an account in the connected app.
The setting needs to be updated from each of the missing neighbors side of things using the following steps:
Please connect with your friends on Facebook that are missing as neighbors and ask them to double check this setting. Once they do, check to see if they've reappeared on the party boat for you. It would be no harm to check your own settings in case you are a missing neighbor for someone else too.
Please let us know how you get on with these steps.

Noticed it today. Did the latest update yesterday, seemed fine. Today I only have one out of 13 neighbours (not including the sims town)

Hello, I have the same problem. I tried to sent you my info (player ID, etc) by message (the envelope icon) and i can't because the site say "you don't have permission to contact this user"
Thank you anyway.
