Items moving to household inventory when visiting lots

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except High school years, Spooky Stuff &amp; the Bust the dust, Country Kitchen, and Throwback fit kits. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load into a lot. What happens when the bug occurs? Random household items are sent to the household inventory.What do you expect to see? Each time my sims go to a new lot, I load in and random items are missing. When I look in the household inventory, they have moved there. It happens again if you leave and come back. 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? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. I got the latest patch from 7/26/22‌Random items keep disappearing from my lots and instead being sent to the household inventory. I know this happens sometimes when the game updates and you load in for the first time (such as removing mods/cc). But this has been happening with normal items (some base game from from expansions) and it happens every time I load into a lot (and will happen multiple times if I leave and come back). Sometimes I see the pop-up about items being moved, sometimes I don't get one.&nbsp;I also just tested it by starting a new game, loading into a random starter house lot, and looked in the household inventory and it had happened there as well.&nbsp;

@ZukiZuccini To be sure I understand right:

Which of these scenarios happens:

- You mean that you load a household and then some of the items are moved to the inventory of that household ?
- You load a household, travel to another lot (from another family, community lot) and than those items land in the household inventory of your own Sim ?

There's a few threads for this already for different scenarios:

- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/DU-Furniture-is-moved-to-the-household-inventory-on-loading/td-p/11042125

I think there was also one for some furniture from Community lots landing in Sims inventory but I can't find that atm.

@crinrict Thanks for asking those clarifying questions.

Yes, when I load into a household some items move to the household inventory. However it also happens every time one of my Sims travels somewhere else and then loads back into their home lot (ie: home>library>home). The game sends some items to the household inventory each time my sim enters a new lot (owned or not).

@ZukiZuccini  Is there any pattern to what items ?

zukizuccini · Answer

@crinrictI haven't noticed one yet. Some of the Dream Home Decorator items do it, but not consistently (ie: 2 of 5 cubby shelves will move, and a 3rd stayed, but the item in it moved).But it's also happened when I tested in a new save with a starter home in Willow Creek (2 of 4 dining chairs moved, plus a few decor items from other rooms).

crinrict · Answer

@ZukiZuccini Modular furniture + items on them is a known issue. Best to use the thread above for that (just hit me too).

I think you might have a combination of all three.

It does happen also for other people's homes right, not just community lots ?
