Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.76.81.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure, I've only noticed it with my two most recent saves. When I load in from completely having the game closed. It seems that its worlds you have played in, with lots that are with unplayed sims or no one lives there.
What happens when the bug occurs? Furniture from various lots in the world will be gone from them. So far it appears to just be residential (or apartments) and from worlds that I have lived in but not necessarily the lots I've lived in.
What do you expect to see? Furniture in unplayed definitely pre-furnished homes.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
One of the saves is a downloaded save from another player, but the other isn't. I have spouts of playing the sims on end for months and completely forgetting that it exists so its possible it happened after a patch but I don't remember which one, it started happening in the downloaded save but I brushed it off because I thought I was mis-remembering or something went wrong with just that save. But its a download from a youtuber and I know some of the lots were uploaded with furniture and once it happened in the other save I figured it was a bug. A lot of those lots were empty (I filled them in and that furniture has stayed but they also have "played" households in them), so far in my other save only the apartment complex that my sim used to live in is empty, its a four apartment building, two of which I took the furniture out of, the other I have a played household in and it still has objects. The other one is empty from map view (but furnished once a sim moves in with the option to move in furnished.) When I logged in the next day it was gone from map view (one of the apartments I took furniture from was still showing as furnished). With houses so far I've noticed it when I go from manage worlds or move a sim in its empty or only has the unfurnished option. Its random, its not all of the lots in the world just sometimes they aren't there anymore. It also seems to be after a sim year or two.
Side: I use MOO and other in game cheats, I haven't played with mods or CC in over a year and have the option disabled, I have the "fill empty homes" checked.
I know there was a closed thread for apartments but this is apartments and houses. And the other ' Items disappear after reloading the game/travelling (no moo)' isn't the same because its all the objects not just a couple.
