Thank you for the reply!
I do have a stack of lightsabers. Could that be it? I haven't touched the Realm of Magic stuff on this sim just yet.
Not sure how I could go about ridding the sabers if it is.
Thanks everyone for helping test this issue. I'm confident now, that with the two methods that seem to work to get rid of the stacks, the game can be playable as long as you don't keep stacks of items in your inventory (special stacks with the stack icons)
Please see my blog post for more details: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2024/03/stacked-inventory-items-crash-the-game/
Let me know if you have more issues or if the methods don't work for you.

MOD FIX
So NeedCoffee4That created a small mod for this issue: https://www.simfileshare.net/download/4513178/
It uses the proposed suggestion here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-Stacked-items-in-inventory-household-inventory-cause/m-p/13527250#M272080
What is does is getting rid of the multiple different items stacks. It only stacks brooms etc that are exactly the same broom and not all brooms together.
This is a simple band-aid and not a proper fix but it stopped the crashing.
The mod isn't thoroughly tested so please use at your own risk. I did some testing with the brooms in the two saves I have and didn't see any issues when using the brooms.
Testers are still needed for light sabers, kyber crystals and hilts. Let me know if those work too.

Hi,
How do I fix this issue on an Xbox Series X? I have no MODS/CC/Cheat codes.
it happens with Gardening equipment too, like planting pots and areas.
thank you
This doesnt work for me. WHen I choose GiFT nothing happens.
Now my game crashes when I select anything from the inventory, I can’t gift either,
This is ridiculous! It never crashed before the update!!!
If you have Eco Lifestyle another way to remove the stacked items is to recycle them (i.e. with the Eco Lifestyle Recycler). I tried in my game and this worked to remove them from my inventory and will work with both your sim's personal inventory and things in the household inventory (my sims didn't have extra wands/brooms in their inventory so I took them to MagicHQ to buy some).
I'm playing with my mods folder out, game version PC: 1.105.332.1020, have all the packs but Modern Menswear.
Best regards,
Jennifer
I'm at the end of my patience with EA, Maxis and this game. I'm NOT doing any work arounds for this issue. I haven't played the sims 4 in days and I don't plan to until things are actually fixed. I imagine that means finding a new game and moving on from this dumpster fire of a game.
Adding my me too - sort of. Went to the magic realm, bought two wands, open inventory, try to open stack and get an immediate lastUIException. Was still able to open the stack and sell one of the wands.
Edit: Decided to live dangerously and try again with brooms. Deleted the previous exception, bought two brooms. Opened stack. This time the UI exception seemed slightly delayed, but the error was the same. Sold a broom.
One of the workarounds to stop your game crashing doesn't even work because of a separate bug with player created items in the inventory. I hope they can hotfix this because bugs that cause crashes should never be acceptable in a AAA game.
Hello,
nope no paintings. I’ve tried moving them to a new lot and doing everything you say, it just keeps crashing when I select more than a few items in the inventory.
Today so far it’s crashed when I’ve selected parsley out of my inventory.
