Re: [FIXED] Collections Reset on Manage Households Split

So I had two sims age-up to young adult in the "Main" household.  One got married and moved out of the Main household and into his wife's house after the wedding event ended.  This did not impact the collections.  Then moved the other sim (his brother) out of the Main household to his own apartment via Manage Households and all of the collections in the Main household reset.

All of the items remained in the Main household (the sim who moved out hadn't found any of the items and didn't have any in his inventory) but in order for them to be "recognized" again I had to move each object into a sim's inventory.  Simply having the items on the lot or even in household inventory didn't seem to be enough for the item to be counted.  For one item (the metal Furium from GTW) no matter what I did I couldn't get the game to recognize it.  (Adding to sim inventory, adding to household inventory, cloning the item, etc.)  I was finally able to get it to register by having one sim gift it to another in the household.


Edit to add/wonder out loud if the issue is only with children moving out via Manage Households?  I ask because the mom sim in the Main household is working on the black widow achievement and after her spouses die I've had her friend the ghost, ask the ghost to move in, and then I immediately move the ghost into a "Main Former Spouse (RIP)" household.  So far she's moved out four ghost spouses via Manage Households and it hasn't reset the collections but the collections have been reset maybe 3 or 4 times total in that house when her children have moved out.

  • Definitely.  Though I played a bit in the game before I noticed the collections issue so I didn't revert to the old save file.  I have Apple Time Machine though so I've got every copy of every saved game since I started playing 🙂

    @k3llybean Would you mind sending me the most recent one from before the move ?

  • Can do!  I need to be on my home network to pull it so I'll send it over first thing tomorrow morning if that's alright?  Thanks for looking into it!
