I first noticed this bug when I was playing a mermaid Sim I had created specifically to play through the Conservationist career and the "restoring Sulani" gameplay that comes with Island Living. I remember I had multiple special conch shells (the ones that call merfolk) in my inventory, but they went missing after I analyzed a sample I took from the ocean in Mua Pel'am. I then removed the mods I had in my game and started a new save to test the bug myself. A video of one of my tests is here.
In the video, I have three things in my Sim's inventory prior to running the Analyze Data interaction: Cereal (in the first slot), Research Data (in the second slot), and a Ham and Cheese Sandwich (in the third slot). After running the interaction, the Cereal was missing from my Sim's inventory. It's not in the Household Inventory and it's not anywhere on the lot. It's just gone.
