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? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click on the refrigerator and select "Order a Delivery", Choose the option to order a "Grocery Delivery", Wait for the Grocery Deliverer to appear and knock of the door, Accept delivery from the Grocery Deliverer, Watch the NPC place the grocery bag in his own inventory and procced to wait for a tip (sounds too much like REAL LIFE here)
What happens when the bug occurs? The NPC doesn't deliver the groceries. Instead he places the bag in his own inventory and stands around expecting a tip. I find that this only happens if the NPC doesn't come into the house. My doors aren't locked, so he should enter. Pathing in clear to get into the house, so there is no reason for him to stay outside and steal my groceries.
What do you expect to see? I expect the delivery guy to bring the bag in and set it down on a table or counter. The least he could do is set it on the ground and walk away.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
As stated above in the bug report, when ordering groceries there is a high chance that the NPC delivering the groceries won't enter the house. Instead, when accepting the delivery they will stay outside and then place the bag into their own inventory. I ordered groceries 3 times in a row after building my new house and never found the bag. I had to exit the game and install MC Command Center so I could then use their cleaner option to move the NPC inventory to my household inventory. Once I did that, I had all 3 bags in my household inventory. I tested this again by ordering groceries and watching him do the same thing. I checked my household inventory and there was nothing there. I then used MCCC again to move his inventory to my household inventory and there was the bag. Not sure why they are doing this since the deliveries worked just fine when my sim was living on campus. Of course there the delivery guy would come in and set the bag down. As stated, at this house the NPC will not come in, so he just decides to steal my stuff.
EDIT: Just to note, my front door is not locked (even though I still have problems with random sims coming into my house and dancing to the radio), so there should be no reason why he cannot enter the house. He will enter when I give him a tip, which makes no sense at all.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title
After the latest patch this is no longer happening. Glad to see that the deliverer is finally entering the home to place the groceries on a surface instead of in his inventory.
