Townies are disappearing/ impossible to make friends.

Since the patch I am unable to make any friends and progress within the career, because all the townies are disappearing after one day. I spend lots of time making a new friend, and the next day poof! he's gone and my sim's friend list is once again empty. This is so annoying. Has anybody found a fix? Or do we need to wait until a new patch? The game is pretty much unplayable like this

Not so much, no
If this is checked and applied and it's still not working let me know!
After the new patch I had crashes due to this mod when traveling.
Good evening. There's a glitch that is affecting a lot of people to the point we are stopping playing.
Could you please bring it to someone's attention?

This feature has never worked on my game. In my legacy game, after the third generation or so, all the houses were empty, and the townie list was only 2 families.
Not quite an issue related to this current thread but I understand the frustration with these things.
I've had that ticked all along. In my first game, no houses were filled by the game through three generations of play. In my second game, which I started after refreshing the The Sims4 folder, two or three (I forget which now) filled initially, and one filled later, and that's it. The rest stayed empty. I've seen a few other people report the same, but not all that many!
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you and very appreciated.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
If your game has had this experience: "my sim is friends with X and after I play the game for a full Sim day, X has been removed from my friends list”, please respond back saying so. We are going to reach out to you more directly for save files.
I have that checked and had to manually fill my homes. I got to my third generation reaching YA then started looking for neighbors to visit, only to find most houses empty. I had to post here on the forums for a workaround to sims not having enough money to fill the larger homes.

No, none of the vacant houses in my worlds are filled and I have been rotating often, and that means have spent many Sim weeks playing and have all the patches. I even bulldozed some to make and built cheaper ones to make sure they would get filled if townies didn't have enough money to afford the Maxis ones. ( I kept the Maxis ones in my library since they are so nice) but no one has ever moved in that I didn't make move in. I had aging off for all for a long time but last week switched it so unplayed Sims would age, and no one is aging either> Cassandra and Alex etc. look like they haven't aged a day.. yet. I have not played the Goths. ETA: and yes, I have always had that option on to fill empty houses.
