Basically, when I loaded up my save game after the patch, any harvestable I had in my sims' inventory or the chest inventory disappeared. All my vampire's garlic, wolfsbane, and plasma fruit was gone. I was looking through the fridge to see what I'd need to replant and noticed everything in there had dropped to normal quality along with the items in the flower arranging station. I loaded a previous save and could see the items, but when I reloaded and saved again, they disappeared again. I thought it might be related to the patch so I just began to play and collect things, but they disappeared again from everything without me reloading.

Having the same problem as everyone else.  All harvestables, with the exception of the ones of normal quality, are gone!  Years of work...just gone.    Even when restocked, they disappear either the next day or when I leave the lot.   There seems to be no fix for this bug.  Everything was working fine until the patch update last week.  I've put a lot of time and money into this game; seems to me that EA should fix the bug THEY created or refund me my money back!

Fixed an issue where Nice or High Quality harvestables would disappear from Sims’ inventories after Travel or Save/Load.
○ We attempted to track down the lost harvestables that are currently lost, but found they were lost and unfindable. It’s findings like this that we find we are at a loss of words for, however any future loss should not be found.

Fixed fir in Patch 1.59.73

Same here, would be pretty dumb if you sold an item in another game for coins that are non transferable to the other. It says you’ll get Madden 25 head start. Like doesn’t say Redeem this specific NCAA token 🤣

I didn't get mine either.

 For the experience token or the Ultimate Alumni players. EA Support Chat said to post the problem here. 

I still have the token in CUT(didn't quick sell) but didn't get it in MUT.

@crinrict  I've tested from all my saves, and it is happening in all of them. I'm cleared out the \"cache\" for the sims and done the origin repair and it's still happening. I made a video of it.

Hope that ea fix this bug soon, it ruins my whole game.

I had a little more time now to pay attention to the quality, and it's the same in my game as everybody says.

To me it seems to be a general issue of the game not \"seeing\" plants of higher quality.

My sim often fishes with plasma fruit as bait. But when the plasma fruit is of higher quality than normal, the fishing animation gets cancelled, and the sim just stands around. I can choose the plasma fruit in the bait menu (so the game \"sees\" them there, which I admit is inconsistent with my theory 🤨) but when the fishing should then start, the game seems to think there's nothing in the inventory. Same with wolfsbane, garlic and Sixam Mosquito Trap seeds.

I think this bug is in some capacity to do with some kind of check for items and that check is returning an incomplete response or it's returning something completely irrelevant, but that's just my limited programming at work.

However, I am also getting this from my flower arranging table since it appears to delete all flowers, fruit, vegetables and collectibles (in other words, anything you can concievably use to make something else). I have a lot of flowers stashed in the table and when I return to the lot for whatever reason (e.g. a debate event), those flowers APPEAR to still be there but all the interactions do not occur since it's looking for missing items.

Hard to actually do anything creative, with the exception of painting, with this issue at hand.

@c9956b777ce96a00I have the same thing happening when I cook or make potions. There seems to be some sort of weird stuck/unstuck thing happening with perfect produce.

When I'm brewing a potion, if my sim keeps cancelling out the brewing action, then I know the veggie is in the stuck position. To get it unstuck, I take the veggie from where it is then put it back again (for instance, if it is lemons in the fridge - I take the lemons out of the fridge and put them in my inventory. I then put the lemons back into the fridge.) The brewing action should work the next time.

That's also how I keep my stuff from disappearing - when I enter the game to play, I take the perfect harvestables from my fridge and put them in my inventory (to unstick them). I then put the perfect harvestables back in the fridge. Now if I go visit somewhere, my harvestables won't disappear when I come home.

@FrekiNGeri  That's interesting. I'll go fishing again, and when it gets \"stuck\", maybe putting the bait on the ground or somewhere else for a moment will work.

I'll report back...

This may have been answered but I wonder if this bug continues to occur if you restore a backup....?

@peta12 If you were to restore to a backup from before you lost your harvestables you would have them back. You could then try the workarounds mentioned before until the bug is fixed.
