I started a new game and as I've played I have collected things and they were of course put in my family inventory, but when I go to get them later, they are gone. On top of that, I have been given gifts for my Sims marriage, but those items are missing as well.
Is there a patch I need? My game says it's up to date....I'm so confused!
Things your Sim collects should go to your Sims inventory, not the family inventory. What kind of things to do you mean exactly.
The gifts are a whole other issue. They are buggy but the latest patch did help with those.
What is your base game version right now ?
To find out, open your launcher and hover over the little base game icon in the lower left part of the launcher. It should say 1.50.
