    @crinrict Ahh.. so a bug of some sort. Added my "me too"

    Fairly easily resolved if you realize it fast enough.. just recover a save from before you moved, take everything out of the box and put in your inventory, move, put everything back in the box. Kind of a hassle but whatever.

    Yes, I even got the Sticker Box to lock contents for bonus points. 

    This is a brand new save so hopefully it'll give you a good idea of what's going on.

    The only things that happened in this save:

    Elsa and Dave moved in

    I loaded up our boxes with a bunch of random items.

    I put them in Dave/Elsa's inventory. 

    I took them out of Dave/Elsa's inventory.

    I labeled the boxes (I don't think this step matters)

    I put all the boxes in Dave's inventory.

    Dave moves out.

    Dave moves in to a new lot.

    Dave now has three boxes filled with items he can't remove.

    Moving back to his old lot will not fix it. Nor will Elsa joining him.

    For those encountering the issue, I have fixed it before. Move your sim off the lot, but leave the boxes behind (ie, Sell Furniture). Then move back in choosing the Furnished option. Your items will now be usable again. Though, in my experience I did lose all my photographs.

    I noticed that it only affects certain types of objects. I bought the chest in Brightchester while my sims were in college. When they returned to their home, certain items were stuck in the chest, while others were not (see attached photo). As soon as I can, I will send you the save. @TheSimsDirect

    Under investigation. Accepting as solution for visibility purposes only.

    Hello.

    We no longer need saves for this issue.  The team will investigate.

    Thank you.
