Sims are stealing my pool loungers at pool parties

Does anyone know what to do when sims are stealing the pool loungers? I throw a pool party and sims use the loungers but I never get them back or see them again!!!

Does anyone know what to do??

Please help, it's such a waste of my sims' money to keep on buying the loungers.

    The problem that is happening is your townies have the "CLEPTO" trait, there is not really anything you can do, you can try to call the police about an hour before your pool party is suppose to end and see if the stop the offending CLEPTO, if they show up and do nothing then you have your answer

    No you only get in trouble if you call the cops after a few times when there is no need

    Have you tried calling the police?  Maybe you can have them arrested for stealing the furniture.  I know they did nothing when other sims stoled my newborns and todlers from parties I through but it is worth a try.  If that does not work maybe stop buying furniture for the party.  Plus you can always get more money for you sims by pressing Ctrl Shift C (hit all 3 keys at once and than type in motherlode

    I didn't think of calling the police - it's not a bad idea but don't you get fined if they arrive and they don't see anything wrong?

    I also would stop buying the loungers but as my sims seem to throw a pool party everyday, their wishes always are "buy a pool lounger". I don't want to disappoint them!! 😕mileyhappy:

    I also have plenty of money via using motherlode which is probably the best cheat!!! 😕mileyvery-happy: I had given my sims money to make the house, so afterwards I didn't want to deprive them so I just gave them more!!!!

    Did people seriously steal your children? I remember that happened in the Sims 2 to me once. I don't think I ever got my baby back... 😕mileysad:😕mileysad:

    They did that with all my instruments as well. Guitar, bass, even the piano and drums! I hosted a party, the guests had a jam session and suddenly everything was gone ...

    I keep all instruments in my inventory since then.
