Update for anyone who caares...

Freezerburn - Lifespan settings are normal, and I tried moving people around. The kids aren't on the sides as icons, they're just... gone -.-; Thank you though!

Gastfyr - I tried the NRaas Overwatch mod, and, I'm not SURE I did it right, but the recover feature didn't seem to work in this situation. I suspect it's BECAUSE they're not on the family icon ... thing. However, it's really cool, and thank you for that.

If I do find a solution I'll pop it up here for anyone else who experiences this weird glitch.

Apparently no one's heard of sarcasm on this forum. Funny, after lurking for as long as I have, I could have SWORN I saw some.
I must have been mistaken. <.<

I swear they're alive in the family tree.
It could be that I've got Elmyra syndrome and I huggle and love-le them too much, which would be a totally viable explanation... but with an explanation comes a solution knowwhatimean? ^.~

Anywho, thankies Gastfyr, I'll try that tonight and let y'all know what happens <3

Hii! This is like my 3rd post on this forum in like 2 years. I'm ridiculously lame, I know.
Anywho! So what i present to you is an extremely annoying problem having to do with missing sims.

Let me start off by saying that I like to breed my sims. I make pretty families and then have people marry eachother and have babies, so my main family will have more friends and pretty potential mates. I'm not shallow, really.
Anyways, so I think I went around in this neighborhood before getting Ambitions and did my thing and had some families have some babies at different times so they'd be different ages, etc. etc.

Yesterday, I went to do my rounds, and noticed I had a LOT of old people, and hardly any youngins. Those youngins are missing, alive in the family tree. They range from baby to teenager, and I've counted 6 from just two family trees. I know there's more. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I hadn't already handpicked those people to breed with eachother, and if they weren't elderly now -.-; they're all adorable children, really. *sigh*

I tried using resetSim blahblah, and either I'm dumb and don't know how to use it properly, or it didn't work.
Also, I tried making a sim know everyone with testingcheatsenabled, and then trying to phone one of the missing people, and none of them are on the list T_T

So I'm wondering if
A. Someone else was suffering with me
B. Someone knows WHY this is happening.

Any help is appreciated! <3<3<3

Yeah, that's what I get for trying to post things at like 4:00 AM, I failed to mention, I can't find the items on the Launcher.. I think they're packaged in with something else. *sigh*
I suppose if that's the only way, I'll futz with it =3
Thanks for the speedy response! <3

..... Futz'd with... found it.. thank you. I'm an idiot <3<3<3

Hiii! So, I lurk quite a bit, I could lurk more, I don't want to be fed to any fishes or anything, so bare with me here =3
My problem is with the items (clothing) installed with the sims installer... they show up in the game just fine, but is there another way to delete them other than literally sifting through my downloads and manually deleting them (because the items are simply not showing up). Is my noob-butt missing something? When I click on the item, it has the pretty li'l sims icon on the corner, but none of the options to delete come up.
I'm a notorious family downloader, and I'm pretty sure they'll put customs on your computer, so I deleted the offending family (or so I thought), and the clothes are still there. I don't want them there, they aren't attractive, and they're making my toddlers and children all S-curve Jack Skellington about it. Ugh, anyhow. So, if there's a way to delete clothes you installed with the sims installer in-game, I'd greatly appreciate it.
And if there's something super obvious that I'm missing, a thousand apologies from the depths of my soul <3!

TL;DR Version - How Do I Delete Clothing Installed With Sims Installer In Game?
