Telescope disappears from lot

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.89.214.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Nearly all-will elaborate if needed
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By buying the new small telescope that was released in the update
What happens when the bug occurs? Place the new small telescope, and after some time of normal gameplay (unsure of exact length) the telescope disappears. It is not in any of the inventories nor does any notification pop up, it just disappears.
What do you expect to see? A telescope that stays on my lot, or at least is returned to my inventory if I leave the lot.
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. After the latest patch/update was installed

TIA

  • I did all of that yes, however I found out the reason behind my problem- I am an idiot 

    It turns out that my "Stan" from the Get Famous pack was stealing them, I hadnt realized it because I have never had that quirk before and this was also my first save with the new item and my mind just missed that connection apparently. XD But thanks for your help!

    I do love the new telescope that was added to the base game. Unfortunately, it keeps disappearing from my lot. I have no mods, no cc.

  • @alystorm18 To be sure: Does it disappear from your inventory or from the lot ?

    Did you delete the localthumbcache file after removing your mods ? Did you disable them or move the folder to the desktop ?

    @alystorm18 I merged your post with someone else reporting this.

    For OP it was someone stealing it. Could that be the case for you too ?

    I did have that in mind and I do have a famous sim with an obsessed fan. But I haven't seen them around when it happened. They usually just destroy the trash can.
