[OPEN] [CoL] Cow Vanishing from Inventory/ Can't Submit to Fair

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cottage Living, City Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Get Together, Get to Work, Dream Home Decorator, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Dine Out, Vampires, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Moschino Stuff, Perfect Patio, Romantic Garden, Vintage Glamour, Bowling Night, Toddler, Laundry Day, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Paranormal, Country Kitchen, Holiday Celebration
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? During the Cow Finchwick Fair put your cow into your inventory and then travel to the fair.
What happens when the bug occurs? I put my cow into my inventory to take her to the fair, and then traveled to the Gnome's Arms pub to go to the fair. Once I clicked on the stall to submit her as my entry it was grayed out. It said that I must have an animal in my inventory in order to submit them for entry. I traveled back home to see if she had been put into the household inventory. She had not. I checked the animal shed to see if she was in there, but it gave me the option to purchase an animal.
What do you expect to see? My cow should be in my inventory so that she can be entered into the Finchwick Fair.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The most recent patch right before cottage living, and then installing cottage living

During the Finchwick Fair Cow Fair, I put my cow into my inventory to take her to the fair, and then traveled to the Gnome's Arms pub to go to the fair. Once I clicked on the stall to submit her as my entry it was grayed out. It said that I must have an animal in my inventory in order to submit them for entry. I traveled back home to see if she had been put into the household inventory. She had not. I checked the animal shed to see if she was in there, but it gave me the option to purchase an animal. My poor cow vanished into thin air. RIP Godiva.

  • Me too! Everytime I tried to enter my cow to the Cow fair, it was already gone in inventory and household inventory.
    When I return to home it's nowhere to be found :'(

  • I had a similar experience, but it was AFTER the Fair. - My household brought my 3 best Chickens. Entered them in the fair, won some ribbons. Fair end. The fair stalls with my chickens vanish. Go back home. Chickens are still gone... I thought I could place them back in the henhouse by clicking on it, like when I placed them in the inventory. But it's like they never existed. My sims don't know them anymore. They just vanished.

    I hope it's not suppose to happen like that...? I hope your suppose to bring your fair entry animals home again, but maybe you need to manually remove them from the fair stalls before it ends? It just don't seems possible as they give out the price just when the fair end.

    Eggs, pumpkins and wool etc entered in the fair seems to have gone too, but I don't miss that as must as my chikens.

  • @Crin Sorry I just saw the link to the animals vanishing after the fair. Ill post over there.
  • I went to the Finchwick Llama Fair and Cow Fair and had the debug cheat on, and everything went fine. The animals were able to travel to the fair and back home with me with no issues. If the debug cheat is really the issue I hope this can be resolved soon in a patch.

    Same thing happened to me but it was my chocolate pie for the garden fair and my giant pumpkin and I restarted my last save to see what happened and it did it again no pie or pumpkin, it’s not in the fridge, in sims inventory, or household it just completely vanished and it was a good pie. And big pumpkin.

    Same thing happened to me with my oversized pumpkin! Harvested it right before the fair, checked to make sure it was in my sim's inventory before I left, then traveled to the fair using the button on the flyer and when I got there it disappeared. And had the cow version happen to her dad a generation ago too.

  • I'm having this problem too except with a (white) Llama and Golden wool.

    I'll travel to the fair [through both methods] and my llama and golden wool will disappear. I have found a "Workaround" of sorts. My sim is the only sim in the household after his wife just died. So I add the wife's ghost to the household (with cheats) and have her put the llama and wool in her inventory and travel to the fair. However I didn't get a notification regarding the wool at the end of the fair and i don't think i got a ribbon for it. (I haven't had the chance to see if it is mod related so when I get the chance I'll make a bug report if one hasn't been made yet)
