Re: Bug in the sims inventory.

Hi @wallaosg

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Also, what kind of mods where you using before removing ?

    Hello @crinrict

    I've done all that you're asking, from repairing and even starting the old save with new files, I've been having this problem for quite some time and with so many repairs I've already done in the game I should have already fixed it. I have also noticed that the problem is appearing a lot when you use the worlds manager to change family, I have 2 families in a same save and for example I change the first family by the second and then I go back to that first family and always have one yes doing random things like reading a book or children writing in the diary or doing homework, and these objects like the book and the homework are in the inventory and they end up kind of with a bug where afterwards I can not delete or remove those objects of the inventory.

    Hi @wallaosg

    sorry. Seem to have missed your answer.

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, mediafire, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
