Big error, sims disappeared =(

The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

I am pretty sure it won't work, as Fix Homeworld doesn't recover missing Sims. It's more an option you use to correct Careers (time, carpool) whenever you Sims came back from a travel destination, sometimes the game still thinks you are on a holiday when back in your homeworld and that is what it corrects if it occurs.

Yeah, it didn't work. Got "Corrected = 0" and the same thing happened when I tried to switch household. Now I'll try your suggestion.

Why doesn't Traveler, ErrorTrap or Overwatch fix problems like this? Maybe catch what's going on and try to correct it?

Yeah...

Oh well, they are going back from China again. We'll see how it goes. Does it matter that they have an unfinished adventure? =d

Nope, the China save and traveling back didn't help. Same thing. =( I'll delete these saves and go back to the old homeworld one.

Then something already gone awry with the first travel transition and continued on silently during the whole vacation in China, nothing of note (ScriptErrors or with the China world itself) when you traveled to China?

No, traveling TO China went fine. just got one ScriptError for a bike one of the locals used. Hm, the sound disappeared for a little while, but it came back. I think it had to do with the bicycle bell bug. I have the STFU mod, but maybe it doesn't work in China.

The error is unrelated. Interesting that you get no other logs, with such a total meltdown like that I would expect tons. I can't really suggest anything other than finding a backup unfortunately.

@Chain_Reaction, yeah, I went back to the save from just before the travel. It's fine.

I think I will do this everytime I travel in the future. I don't really lose anything, since I remember what they have been doing even if the game doesn't. And I still would have the screenshots. Better safe than sorry.
