@crinrictSure thing.
How do I PM you. I checked your page and clicked contact me and it gives two choices, add to friends and remove from friends. So I added you as a friend, and I still don't see that PM thing.Ok, I figured out how to DM you, but I don't have permissions to do that.
If you DM me I can reply with the link or post it here.Update: I figured out how to turn on DMs. I sent you the link to two save files.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Yeah, definitely problems. I need to be able to play my saved files as well as new games too.
1. Harvested home lot in Newcrest and then traveled to Del Sol Valley
I had him harvest three alien plants while at his club meeting
He then went on a date at a restaurant in Newcrest
Then he went back to his home lot in Newcrest. All of the alien plants are gone.
I exited the game and I removed all script mods that I had in my game (Church Lot trait, Solar Panel, & Slow Dancing) along with the icemunmun Canning, black plate, and chicken coop mods and the problem persists.
I then switched over to the sim Remi went on a date with and she has the harvestable she collected in Del Sol Valley after she left the lot on the date and then returned home.
I sent her to Del Sol Valley, there was nothing to harvest (I think the club harvested everything left). So, I sent her to Remi's farm to harvest three different plants.
When she got home they all disappeared including the medicine she purchased.
After checking her fridge and seeing the 8 plantains there, these 5 may have been harvested while at her club meeting in Del Sol Valley. But that doesn't explain why the medicine disappeared, she purchased two and took one, so one was left. And why the plants harvested at Remi's farm in Newcrest are missing.
So, I sent her to another lot in Oasis Springs to go fishing:
When she got home, everything disappeared again:
I decided to test three additional saves:
1. An older save based on the Base Game for All Games file. This is an alien family that I haven't played. Just saved to play in the future. I sent the father sim to Del Sol Valley to harvest, then to Sulani, and then back home to Oasis Springs. This save loses items in the inventory on travel:
2. A newer save that was saved fresh from the game to Test features and issues in the game. Traveled to Del Sol Valley then home to Windenburg. From Windenburg to Newcrest to Sulani, then back home to Windenburg. Everything in the inventory made it back to the home lot:
3. My newest save created to build brand new lots. This is the save I used in a video and posted to the bug report post for harvestables before the December update 12/12. Before the update it experienced inventory loss. After the update, everything in the inventory made it back to the home lot:
Conclusion: All my previous saved games where I have played a family or single Sim extensively seems like they are still losing items out of their inventory. Even though I do not play the Base Game for All Games save file, I save new lots and Sims I create to this file and do a Save As when I am ready to play a new Sim game.
I currently have five saved files that I am using to record sim stories that I post online. I really need this inventory issue resolved with these older saved files.
Thanks.
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@troshalom I don't think this is the same as the harvestable bug as all collectibles get lost (no matter the quality). I also get lastexceptions when switching to another lot so not sure what is going on in your save.
I'll pass it on but I think you might be seeing this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Items-collected-in-personal-inventory-are/td-p/6772837/ @crinrictNot sure what I need to do? Are you going to move this over to that post? Do I need to send save files? š confused
BTW, I don't get any last exception errors
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@troshalom It's fine how you did it.
I think it's good to leave your thread separate as it's well documented here what you did.
I already forwarded everything, including your saves. 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? PC: 1.60.54.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All EPs except DU. All GPs except Vampires and ROM. SP: bowling, fitness, kids room, laundry day, movie hangout, 1st pet, toddler, vintage glamour.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use one of my saved games that was created before September 2019. Have a Sim travel to a lot to harvest. Have a sim collect an item. Have the sim travel to another lot or home.
What happens when the bug occurs? All new items placed in the Sims inventory disappears when traveling.
What do you expect to see? Everything placed in the Sims inventory to remain there until I remove it.
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. Started after ROM was issued. I did not have this problem August 2019.ā
This harvestable/inventory issue is fixed for all new saves. All old saves this issue is not resolved. I was hoping that with the January 2020 patch this issue would be fixed, but it is not.
I cannot play any of my saved games. Not only is it stressful, because I had to rebuild those games after losing everything July 2019. But, 5 of these saved games have been recorded and are part of a sim series. I would like to play the game and enjoy the EPs and GPs I spent quite a bit of money on without this bug. I did not have this issue before September.
I absolutely love harvesting, fishing and collecting in the game. And that is the main thing that is broken. @SimQARobo please bubble this up so the engineers can fix this.
Here is my other post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Not-sure-Inventories-Harvestables-are-fixed-after-patch-1-59-73/m-p/8565266#M160591
Here are two of my saves:
1. Master save file that I save as from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/131XVeWKkOEpISSjrhWDHXmvAav_b14Oi/view?usp=sharing
2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cnRq6RxNTKlkjmKIHDe9_lBfzSOXSyLh/view?usp=sharing
I tested with and without mods.

Hi @troshalom, thanks for creating that report to update things. A quick heads up, I've merged it in with your existing thread on this to help keep the information together vs spread out. Please use this space to continue this discussion. š @EA_Lannawill they know it is a bug report if it is in the technical issues?
Also, is anyone working on this issue?

Hi @troshalom,
Yes, they know as Crin has shared in the thread earlier this has been sent on for investigating. I can move this to the bug section though as it might be better suited there. At the moment we have no new information to share on this but when we do, we'll share it asap.
Thanks,
Lanna @EA_LannaI have some last exception files. Will the investigators need them?
UPDATE: I installed MCCC Mod and it returned new exception files (errors). Deaderpool's discord told me they were related to Father Winter's Baby trait. In all my saved files I have a family with twin babies with the trait. I removed those families from all but the one I plan to play and in all of those files they stopped losing items in their inventories.
I will play some more to see if it is indeed fixed and if that family was indeed the problem. If so, then that trait is related to inventory issues.
