[FIXED] Items collected in personal inventory are disappearing

*Running Windows 7 though I doubt that is a factor.
Decided to test the original version of Cale aka Never Fail Cale
Repaired game and started (yet another) new save with Cale to rule out any issue with that Sim in particular.
Wonder if the spouse (NPC) was somehow corrupt?
Will post back with any updates.

I did have this issue with some items my Gen 1 sim collected from his jungle adventure. After his vacation, he visited the local cafe with a friend. When he returned home, I noticed the items missing. I repaired/cleared (etc. as per usual) but the items never returned. I've not seen this issue since though. Kind of sucked at the time, and I'm hoping it was a one-time glitch.

I had a similar experience with Jungle Adventure  I had played thru the JA aspirations in two different saves. The third time thru I had items vanish. I had not taken any vacations in this save.

Thinking about what preceded this issue I looked at the release dates of JA and the patches afterwards.

The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure released 27 February 2018
Patches March 8th, March 20th and April 17th

That makes me wonder if one of the March patches may influence this issue?

Luckily (so far) it only seems to affect certain Sims? Or game situations?

@crinrictI tested with the same Sim in a totally new save. So far after many Sim weeks I have not been able to duplicate this issue. Followed a different career and played with only this single Sim in the household. One thing I did differently in the previous saves when this occurred was to use CAS.fulleditmode cheat to edit family relationships. I rarely use that code and it seems to be a common factor in all the saves where I had this happen.

I'm having the same issue - items disappearing from inventory.

Windows 10, playing in English.  I don't have Jungle Adventures.  I have never used CC or mods.  I haven't used any cheats in *this* save, though I have used it in different saves (because I also had the issue where saving a game overwrote a different game, I keep separate save folders for each of my sims/families/games).

My Sim was going around collecting stuff.  One day everything in his inventory disappeared except for the snow globes he'd bought at the flea market.  I repaired the game, but the issue was still there.  Before this issue, I've previously repaired, reset, and completely reinstalled the game trying to fix other bugs (I had the issue where the rocks weren't respawning - either reinstalling or some patch must have fixed that, cause now they're respawning again).  I think this may have started with the last patch - at least I didn't have the issue before then.

I restored the save to a previous save to get all that inventory stuff back (losing, of course, stuff he'd collected since, as well as his roommate's promotion).  I kept a closer eye on the inventory, and sure enough, some items were disappearing randomly.  He'd collect stuff, come home, and the stuff he'd just collected wasn't there.  Also, the elements he'd gotten from the geo council were gone.  The Collections (when you click on the icon in inventory) had them in there, but he no longer owned them.  The missing items are not in the household inventory or the other Sim's inventory or anything like that.

I don't know if related but the snow globes collection was all purchased in the flea market - I mean, my sim never bought a snow globe himself, just bought the whole collection all in one shot at one visit to the flea market - I don't know if that's how it's supposed to work.  Usually at the flea market I can buy a couple collectibles but not the whole collection.  Also, my Sim's roommate is a painter, and she's having the issue where if she leaves the lot, she can't Resume the painting - I have to put it in her inventory then put it back on the easel for her to be able to continue working on it.

Tagging this as needs input for now. Maybe someone can find any kind of pattern on when and how it happens.

Questions though (for everyone posting here)

• Do you play rotationally ?
• If you do, did you have a flea market happening while you were playing another family ?
• What were you doing when you noticed the stuff missing ? After a vacation in GF or S ? Did you travel with your Sim ? 
• Are you playing an kind of active career ?
• Which items (type) do go missing ? Only collectibles or other stuff ?

Q. Do you play rotationally ?
A. No only one household per save.
Q. If you do, did you have a flea market happening while you were playing another family?
A. N/A
Q. What were you doing when you noticed the stuff missing ? After a vacation in GF or S ? Did you travel with your Sim ?
A. No vacations taken. Sims usually stay at home lot unless going to work. (Not followed to work). Traveled to community or other residential lots before and after items missing.
Q. Are you playing an kind of active career ?
A. One save I played the Art Critic career. However he reached the top of the career and switched to Tech Guru. Items were not noticed missing until he had been in his new career and started a family.
Q. Which items (type) do go missing ? Only collectibles or other stuff ?
A. Primarily collectible items. At one point a personal diary and random repair parts.
Note: I used CAS.fulleditmode on the household specifically on the NPC that was added as Spouse.
