Hi, everyone.
Yesterday, I created a new game and created four Sim households for it. I set my "main character" to be playable. I handled the other households in different ways. I placed two of them in houses--one in Oasis Springs and one in Willow Creek. I didn't place the fourth household into a house; I wanted to see if they'd move in to one of the existing houses.
On the first game day, my Sim saw Edgar (the Sim from Oasis Springs) at the Blue Velvet, and introduced himself. He saw Mary (from the "homeless" household) somewhere and met her, too. The other Sim, Sally, was at home all day.
Since that first day, I haven't seen Edgar, Mary, or anyone from Mary's family (her husband or child) anywhere at all. Edgar shows up at home all the time. Mary's household is nowhere to be seen, and they haven't found a house. To the best of my knowledge, Sally has never left her house. My Sim has been able to interact with her--he's been to Sally's house and they've chatted on the phone--but every time I check, she's chilling in her house. Sally isn't "frozen" in the sense that my Sim can interact with her as long as he visits her house. Same with Edgar. And my Sim can chat with Mary on the phone. They simply don't leave their houses or, in Mary's case, appear at all!
What might be happening? Any help would be appreciated!

I haven't modded the game, so that can't be it.
I'll try deleting the localthumbcache.package file, and I'll see what happens.
Thank you for your suggestions!

For the first couple days, Chase didn't seem to leave home. Whenever I had Aidan travel anywhere, I always clicked on Chase's house to see if he was home. He was. He always was.
I decided to see what would happen if Aidan dropped by for a visit. When he teleported in, he found Chase standing stupidly in his front yard. I wondered if Chase had ever experienced the inside of his house.
Note: I deliberately designed Aidan and Chase to get along well; it seems the game senses when my Sim might be developing a connection with someone and has them spawn in their area, as if they're driven there by an irresistible cosmic force. How else can I explain the fact that within a half hour of Aidan's arrival at either of the gyms, Eliza Pancakes and the Heckings invariably show up? I thought this mysterious force might inspire Chase to explore the world around him.
Anyway, with Aidan's help, Chase began to understand that he is allowed to enter his own house, and that it is cool to have a friend.
Aidan's intervention seems to have worked to some extent. Now Chase will leave his lot...to come hang out at Aidan's place. He's done that three times now. Once, he arrived while Aidan was cooking some Mac & Cheese to enjoy with the cute townie he met at the library in Britechester. Dinner for two became dinner for three. Chase demonstrated a talent for telling jokes and performing impressions at the dinner table. He's either the ultimate wingman, or a snake in the grass. I'd like to think it's the former.
I still haven't seen Chase do anything but hang out at home or visit his buddy. At least it's a start.
Thanks for your suggestion! At the very least, it's given me a fun story.

Any time I download from the gallery and add a “blank” sim to the world (one that has essentially just been created in cas), they rarely if at all appear on community lots or in the world. Alternatively, if I download a sim from the gallery that actually had skills added to them, they do tend to show up more.
My suggestion is to perhaps go to these families and use cheats to add a few skills points and see if that helps. The code seems to spawn sims with skills relevant to the location, so if you give them a few fitness skill points they’re more likely to appear at gym lots, or a few dancing points and they’ll be more likely to appear at nightclubs, or the fishing skill and they might appear at parks… that sort of thing. When I use cheats to add skills to new skill-less sims in my world, I tend to see them more often.
