cant add items to fridge and other storage

Hi, 

I have a problem, my sims can't add anyting to storage - fridges, chests, etc., also can't put items in inventory because they are not the owners (but they are). 

no mods or cc, repaired game files, latest updates. 

no debug items used 

help!

  • @gugucis Is this happening in a Residential Rental lot? If so, are there inventory items in the Shared areas? I've seen some suggestion that there are issues around inventory in Shared parts of RRs.

    @gugucis Might be worth testing in a clean folder: Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options. Then start a new game and see if you can recreate the problem.

    tried it. didn't work. i noticed that the problem starts after moving household and keeping the furniture. 

    suddenly the items previosly owned by my sim are not theirs anymore, andyou cant put them in sim inventory or add stuff to fridge, bookcases, chests etc.

    Thanks, i'll try that. 

    What i found that works for collectables is sim being a spellcaster and using copypasto spell 😉 i had buch of stuff out as decorations and found this as dumb luck 🙂
