[FIXED] [ECO] Objects disappear from lots/ NPC Stealing (with and without N.A.P)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs through/including Eco Lifestyle
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to the community lots (Sprucewood Square in my case, and it's a community garden), wait.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sink keeps being stolen. Only the sink, mind you, and occasionally the counter its on as I tried to get them not to steal the sink by inlaying it in a counter. It happens every single time I put the sink back into the lot, within 1hr of ingame time after fixing the lot. What's maddening is that because removing the sink 'breaks' the lot, if I go into build mode I cannot leave it until I replace it.
What do you expect to see? Plumbing be a little bit harder to grift, or, if a sim watches someone steal from the community lot WITHOUT the NAP that allows stealing, a negative reaction from the crowd.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The June 3rd/Eco Lifestyle update.

Side Notes: I've repaired the game after removing my mods in preparation for the update, like, 3x.  I've not installed mods since the update on June 3rd, and I've had a sim invade the bathroom to steal the sink, while my sim just stands there.  And why the sink of all things???

    Fixed an issue where NPC Sims would continuously steal objects from Lots without having the Kleptomaniac Trait. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

    Fixed in Patch 1.65.77/ 1.30

    I don't know if all posts in this thread were actually really down to the NAP.

    EA fixed this but I don't know how it was fixed .. there could still be issues on your save. There are also other issue that have similar symptoms.

    If you still have objects disappearing, please check the threads below if any of those apply to you before opening a new thread.

    What do to if you still have this issue ?

    • Check the threads listed above if any of them apply to you
    • If you still get lots of stealing on a new save, please create a new thread.
