Sims that died are still on the Sim list?

[Misskitz]

Okay so I was playing my contest sim, playing around with different poses and such, when it struck me to have her free-shot be of her being a Children's Ward Nurse for a hospital. So I had her have kids and so on. It turned out great until I wanted them gone, so I gave them Death Tokens and thought it was over. But there still pictured in the family screen that pops up when the home is loading even though they aren't actually in the home. Now I can't move any of her "Tribe" mates in, and every time I've tried moving her to houses it still has all of the kids pictured. It’s like their all invisible but they’re not. Does anyone know what I did? And how I could fix this mess?

Hey^^
That happened on mine too when I made a family shot with sims I didn't want.
Could you spawn an adult sim and try moving them out? You might be able to select the invisible children to move out with them.

I prefer using the Insiminator suicide option or grow up until they die of old age then just inventory the urns. That way I know they are gone, really gone
