That's very odd. I just tried starting a new save file and I can't replicate the issue with the base game premades - the Pancakes, Spencer-Kim-Lewis's, and Landgraabs are present in my fresh save.

The PSRO doesn't make any changes to the Grove or Gooseman households or to Rosie or Captain Whitaker. However, it does appear that none of the households that are supposed to have pets, have pets, including the Lynx household. I tried removing my mods folder and starting an extra new save and those households are still missing pets, so I believe we were both hit by an EA bug, most likely this one: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/cd-hr-disappearances-of-pet...

Please try repairing your game and see if the base game premades show up again.

In the three hours since your post, I have:

>Repaired the game.

>Once again started with no mods at all with the Premade mod as the single item that isn't the script injector or lot 51, etc. 

>Deleted and remade the Sims 4 folder ENTIRELY and did that AGAIN, from the top.

They're still gone and I have no idea why. Not even with no other non-library mods in the mod folder. It is literally there is literally nothing in there but that single folder and things like MCCC and Lot 51. 

This was working fine until I updated and had to restart a new save thanks to EA's save-eating garbage. Now with nothing but new saves, it still keeps happening. I don't know what the trigger is, but it only occurs when the premade sims mod is in play.

I've been able to replicate and am working on a fix now.

I have returned from cooking dinner to joyous news. Sort of. But at least I'm not losing my mind missing some factor after 6 hours of troubleshooting my game. Time for celebratory pizza.

Whatever's going on is very weird and I'm having trouble diagnosing, but a fix is inbound and should be live this weekend.

Thank you for letting me know about this - whatever's happening seems to be impacting the versions packaged for download and not my personal copy, so I wouldn't have found out otherwise.

I take it back, a fix is live right now. Still not sure what happened originally (everything is present in those files, so I'll assume something got corrupted), but the new versions are straight from my personal copy and I double-checked by starting a new save after downloading them from Itch.io.

I appreciate your prompt work in looking into this mod I love because it means a lot less editing for me. I'm going to give Aliens Reloaded and Reason to Slay a try, too.
