Hi, I have an issue when I switch control between married characters who come from different towns, one spouse temporarily disappears from the family list (wife). The missing spouse (wife) still exists on the lot and can be selected manually to be playable, but they vanish from the UI list every time I switch to husband. Wife is my first and “original” character, husband is from a different town and was added to the family. If I ask the husband to move to a different playing lot, the husband disappears forever and is not visible or selectable.
Note: When switching to wife, husband is always visible on the UI list.

This makes it difficult to manage the household, as the family list becomes incomplete depending on which partner is active.
I will be greatful for any advice regarding to how to solve this issuae!

If the spouse originates from another city, afaik these issues can’t be resolved yet, and if I understood right, there has been a warning things like this could happen.
Move Cities had been scheduled on the old roadmap for the December Update, but we’re still waiting for the new roadmap Kjun announced in the AMA Q&A Part 2 a few weeks ago.
