I am experiencing this too. My sims haven't moved or anything though. When I loaded the game back up after not playing for a few days, the two families I was recycling with had 0 bits and pieces and I know I did not use them all. Now I have to start again. When I go to craft something, the option to craft an item is grayed out saying I have no bits or pieces and when I hover over the simoleons/household funds panel, the recycler, and the fabricator, they all say I have none even though I should. I use no mods and did not cheat to get the bits and pieces but sometimes I use testing cheats for mood (especially when the energy bar was malfunctioning after Nifty Knitting.)
Edit: I just tried recycling again and now the amount in my household funds says the new number (even though my family had a lot more than this before it got reset) but hovering over the recycler or fabricator indeed does NOT reflect the accurate amount. I expect to see 28 bits (whichever the wrench is) and 326 pieces (whichever the banana peel is) like my household funds say but when hovering over these two objects, they erroneously indicate that I have 0.
I have all packs except some stuff packs and the recent game pack (Luxury Party, Cool Kitchen, Kids Room, Toddler, My First Pet, and Journey to Batuu).
