Re: [OPEN] [ECO] [JA] Household Does Not Own Item

1.89.214.1030, never modded, PC

There are multiple similar threads, some of which have been merged, and I wasn't sure which to reply to.

After using the dumpster item to dive for deals, some items aren't classed as owned by the Sim.

In the case for my Sim was a Simmi and a Houndstooth Dye. They can be dragged into the inventory manually, but "Put In Inventory" is greyed out and it says the Sim doesn't own the item.

    This happens to me. And on the retail lot where my Sims sell items that they rummage/find, the same items aren't able to be marked for sale. Bikes are also a huge issue with this bug. If Sims start riding a bike from their inventory that the game doesn't recognize as "theirs", and then they leave it around in the world somewhere, the bike just gets left there. There's no "put in inventory" option. So, I have SO many bikes littering my world.

    The only workaround that I've found is to move the items to household inventory, back to the world, and then back to the Sim's personal inventory. After that the items seem to work fine. But, that's a pain to continually do that.
