[FIXED] [DU] ICYA Chest Inventory Locked After Moving

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1210
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Put something in ICYA chest, then put the chest in a sim's inventory. Move the sim to another household.
What happens when the bug occurs? You lost access to the items in ICYA chest.
What do you expect to see? The said sim still own access to anything in their chest's inventory.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

IYCA chest is so great for inventory management... until you forgot to clear it before moving.

    Hi, collections always reset when you move. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but that's how it has been since I started playing more than a year ago. Also I have had problems accessing items in my Icya chests and my sims have not moved, they have bought retail stores and restaurants though. I am doing a challenge to collect every item in the game and have been using the chests to store my things in categories. It's hilariously frustrating trying to get the stuff out of my trunk full of omiscan treasures and only being able to access half of them.

  • Just noticed I'm having this problem as well. Really hope they get a fix for this soon. Love the concept of storing things in a separate chest/box but not if I'm not going to be able to access my things when I move. Anybody find any kind of workaround for this?

    The only way to avoid this is to always remember to empty your chest to your inventory before you move, and then put everything back. Otherwise it gets locked in there.

  • I having the same issue only recently. Suddenly I can't access anything in my stick box at all after moving. I Have a lot of rare collections in the boxes please hoping for a fix!

  • The same thing happened to me after moving out of university. In the dorms, I had 2 sims, one graduated and moved out, and all of the stuff in her chest was inaccessible.

    I used testingcheats to re-enroll her in university, moved back in with the other sim, and was able to take all the stuff out of the chest and put it in her inventory. I then dropped out and moved out, and I can use everything now. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works.

    I am also having this issue. I put all my options earned with aspiration points and my cloning machine in there and now I can't get them out.

  • This problem is infuriating. The strange part is it didn't happen once. The one time I was able to move things out of the chest after moving was when I moved two people out of my house using the phone. I don't think I used my phone the other times (once was when my sim went to uni) so I wonder if that's where the issue starts.
