@PoptartJuniper Can the Vending items in Personal Inventory be give to another household member as gifts? I know the Simmi bubble things can be given as gifts. Haven't tried any other items.

Can the things from Household Inventory at least be sold?

@DizzyDee-K Thanks! I didn't try to gift them. I deleted the sims that had them in the inventory from the family so I didn't think to try to gift the inventory items. It would have taken forever anyway.

The items can be sold from the household inventory. I had to pick them all up to sell them off.

@PoptartJuniper I'm finding vending machines and vendors in SE a little problematic. Children can autonomously buy things from them they can't use/eat and they can't be transferred except as gifts.

I love the vending machines. But, they need some tweaking.

I had the exact same issue when my sim died. All the Bits 'n Bobbles vending machine items from his inventory, that ended up in the household inventory when he died, could only be directly sold or placed on the ground in build mode. When they were on the ground the only interaction option when clicked on in live mode was "Put in inventory" but sims would get the routing failure reaction when told to do that. The items that were on the ground also couldn't be dragged and moved while in live mode.

I also checked that the Bits 'n Bobbles vending machine items in a sim's inventory cannot be moved/dragged to be sold from the inventory or put on the ground, they can only be clicked on to add to favorites or to directly use (if this is an option).
