No Sims in lots

I just loaded my game in and noticed that ALL the lots no longer have Sims occupying them. The household I'm playing is doing extremely well, gaining whims and additional traits, including the Potion of Youth, which I have used a few times.
Do you think I have just outlived the whole neighbourhood?
If that's the case, do I just create new families for the home? or Do other Sims/Families move in ?

    Seems like a bug. It's hard to get sims out of houses in my game. But yea if you have some magic potion makes you reverse aging maybe that's it. So your sims are like over 100 years old?

    You need to check the option that allows the game to repopulate.

    The thing is my options are all turned on and it should be repopulating that town. Only two houses now have families the rest empty. I just had to fill my town up with about 30 Amber's ;)

    I checked the option to repopulate and that's turned on. Still no luck with them being filled.
    I went into manage world and decided to fill the houses back up . I did this by clicking on the lot and there's an option to create Sims and fill the house. However the house was expensive and it appears they cant move in.
    Mmmm how do I fill a house that's over 20.000?

    My Sims have used three potions of youth as young adults, so I guess they could be over 100 or close.

    I do believe freerealestate is what I used to get Sims in houses they couldn't afford.

    Yep, same here, on my third generation and my world doesn't populate either, only 1 household left and another were 2 brothers from my family I moved out. Seems this is a bug. Went into options and unclicked and then clicked again populate town, just in case it was the latst patch r something, I hope they fix it is annoying

    In the manage world screen,type CTRL+SHIFT+C and then type "FreeRealestate On", this allows you to place sims in any lot for free. use "FreeRealestate off" when your done.
