[FIXED] [ECO] Some harvestables found in trash disappear from inventory

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Um, I don't know, play the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? I just installed Eco Lifestyle and my sim will be digging through the trash and find things. Whenever she finds a harvestable, it seems to disappear. Not all of them, but a lot of them. It's happened with multiple sims too. Doesn't matter if they travel from lot to lot, it just seems to happen. She found a dragonfruit and two elderberries, but she only had the dragonfruit when I went to plant it. It only seems to be happening in the personal inventory, probably a glitch with the new filter and sorting update.
What do you expect to see? I expect to not lose the things my sim finds.
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. Installed Eco Lifestyle. Never happened before that, or the newest update that came the day before.

‌

I just don't want to have my sim keep digging through the trash when she doesn't get to keep what she finds.

This has NEVER happened to me before, no matter what packs I had installed. I think it's an issue either with the newest update, or Eco Lifestyle. And it's happened with 3 different sims I've created.

    Just had this happen me to a very poor sim who then had a money fruit drop into his inventory while I was reading this post. I went back to the dumpster to look for other stuff and it disappeared. I'd already lost a mulberry, a cherry and a grow fruit. I took it out of my inventory to make sure it wasn't a dream and then put it back into my inventory, maybe in hopes it would solidify it. I wonder... is it possible that these things are falling out of the sims inventory into the dumpster like they are losing the items when they go diving?

    @TantienHime No, because I've had things disappear as I stood there. I've also found items and then dragged them out of my inventory to my life t so they don't disappear, and they still did.

    I am also having these problems. My sim won the money tree seed at the dump in Evergreen Harbor. I was very happy! But when she returned to her home in Glimmerbrook, the seed from the inventory was gone. I was sad, and the worst thing happened 2x.

    A similar thing is happening to me.  Except, when I knit anything, it doesn't appear in my inventory.  So it's kind of useless as I am unable to sell the items, so then, what's the point?
