Items stuck in family inventory?

All of the sudden my sim has started getting things stuck in her family inventory. First it was the camera that she started the game with and now it's the fixer upper car (which has been fixed up, and I really don't want to lose). I can't click on them at all. Tried doing move objects. Anyone had this happen???
  • For things stuck in Family inventory, I found it helpful to just move the family out of the house and then move back in. So far, I've only had a camera stuck in Family Inventory, but I've heard of people having cars and such stuck in there. I've taken precautions by placing the camera somewhere in the house unless the Sim needs it, and making sure that Family Inventory is kept empty most of the time. This way, I can at least be reasonably sure that there is nothing stuck in there.

    So I tried using debug enabler, but both items are still stuck. I tried the "move from family inventory" option but nothing happened. When I click on the actual item in the family inventory I don't get any kind of menu options. Any other options? At this point I would settle for deleting the objects (as long as I would get the money). I'd prefer not to move the family out and back in because I've had that cause problems before.

    Edit to add: Also tried sorting the inventory from master controller.
  • You can use MC to flush the stuck items, but I don't believe you would get any cash for them that way. Though you could then reconcile with Family Funds.

    On the ground of the lot, NRaas > MC > Object Stats > Filter to Family (or Active) and select the items to flush. MC Cheats add-on module required.
  • ok so I've moved different times to different houses and collected things in inventory ... would just sell everything but one of my collectable items I earned is in there so I don't know what to do can anyone help me please ????

    I use DebugEnabler to move things from inventories. But I've noticed there are a few career type items that tend to get stuck there and I can't do anything to move them.

    Items I remember having problems with are medical beepers and the spyglass for the investigator career.
  • Just FYI, sometimes the game is unable to identify the contents of sims' mailboxes and mistakenly classifies things as "Bills" or "Junk Mail" that really aren't. I see this most often when I have a sim manage a blog by way of Uni's Social Networking skill and the bogus items are meant to be gifts from blog admirers. I'm sure the misclassified items can show up from other sources as well. There really isn't any fix for that, but some combination of MC and DE commands will almost always help clear then out of whichever inventory window they seem to get stuck in.
  • I traveled to University and was able to get all my unstuck items out then. Don't know if it's a "fix" but it worked for me.
  • By chance are any of you playing the architect career?
    For some odd reason, items get stuck in my inventory when I do that career.
    Specifically cars.
