    I've been having this too. Whenever I go through a loading screen random items are moved to my family inventory. So far it's affected items from numerous different packs, so I can't put together a pattern. It's moved sinks, planters, plants, televisions, computers, chairs. It's even started to move 'off the lot' objects, like the diving area buoy's in Sulani, but in those cases the item is just gone.

    I'm seeing the same issue with a sofa disappearing.

    I'm playing on a small lot in Newcrest, with all of the packs. My Sim does not have the kleptomaniac trait, nor is the NAP about sharing in place. Every now and again, I get an alert that she has successfully swiped something without being noticed, and then the sofa (from the flea market in City Living) is gone. I haven't seen her take it, but it seems to correspond. The item isn't going into her inventory, or the household inventory. It seems to be the same item that's going - and because there are so few items in the place, I'm pretty sure it's the only thing affected.

    This is a pretty new save, with no mods or CC.

    I'm on Xbox One and I'm having the same problem with my Sims stealing their own items. And they disappear completely, they don't go into household or regular inventory. It's very annoying. 

  • Me too, new sim new lot no mods no cc ever. Interesting, I am also playing the container lot, also recycle disciple, green fiend and maker. Same pop up, Claudia successfully swiped an object without drawing any unwanted attention '.

    The first time it was the outdoor bin, then the couch, then the replacement outdoor bin. I managed to stop her once, but i can't remember what she was going to take.

    No klepto trait either.

    Sims without klepto trait and without the new ECO traits, stealing objects when visiting neighborhood residential lots.
    TS4 all packs, full game.
    Repairing the game didn't work. 
    Objects can't be found after search them.

  • Im having the same issue, swiping her own sofa and bins with the recycling trait, but not klepto. Item completely disappears and is not found in inventory. 

    I have all the sims packs and no mods installed.

    My sim doesn't have klepto or recycling traits and I hadn't played long enough for the first NAP to go into effect yet and my sim was already swiping things from her own house.  And they just vanished into thin air.

    Bonjour,

    J'ai le même problème depuis l'extension écologie. Je n'ai pas le trait Kleptomanie, et pourtant les Sims volent tous les objets même dans les lieux publics.... J'ai donc plein de lieu public à refaire car je ne sais pas quel sont les objets qui ont été volés. Je n'ai pas téléchargé de CC. J'en ai 0 sur mon PC... et j'ai quand même les bugs... 

    Je vous avoue que c'est chiant...

    Disponible pour plus de renseignements si ça peut vous permettre de régler le problème 

    PS : Fait 3 réparation à ce jour rien ne change, et il y a des bugs même lorsqu'aucun plans d'actions sont en cours.

    Bonne soirée 🙂

    I have the same problem. Mine steal Tv's, radio, Trash bins and many other items. 

  • This has been happening to me as well, so I've tried repairing my game, but ever since I've repaired it, it now repairs itself over and over, every time I open Origin, which is extremely annoying, and I have no idea how to stop it.

    Recycle Disciple Sims without the Kleptomaniac Trait now swipe household objects less often. We get it, we are all trying to do our best for the environment, but going after your Dumpster was a bit too far… we kinda need that.

    Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33
