My sim is a freelance artist and uses the sketchpad once then it disappears !? 

I've searched all over the lot, it's not in any other Sims inventory, no one has been in the house to steel it and he hasn't been out to leave it anywhere. 

This is the third time its happened and he can't afford to keep buying new ones! 

Please help I really don't know what to do

    @crinrict As stated in the original post this is the third time this has happened, I have also tried restarting the game, to no avail

    @Courtpash1 Did you also test a different Sim/Save to see if it's isolated to that household/save game or a general issue ?

    Do you have any chests on your lot the Sim could have put it into ?

    EDIT: Mine tends to put it on the floor but I haven't had it disappear but as I'm not on PS4, the testing isn't that valid

    @crinrictI don't have any chests, I bought another and tried it with another sim in the same household and it went into their inventory after, I also tried in a different household and it also worked fine. I then tried on a different save game and made that Sims also a freelance artist, it also worked fine. It seems it is only my main sim that is doesn't work for

    @Courtpash1 Hm, strange. Have you tried moving him out and back in to see if that fixes anything ?

    What traits does that Sim have ?

    The same thing happened to me. I loaded the game up today and it just appeared randomly where my sim was before.
