item stuck in active sims inventory.

My sim keeps picking up the butlers book To serve and not be served and there is no way to remove it from my active sims inventory. is there a way to remove it? Because there is no way to drop or sell this item.

    Just wanted to say, I found this thread since I had a similar problem... and the giving the item as a gift solved it!!

    I had a painting that a guest started, and then abandoned, at my painter sim's house. It couldn't be moved or finished. I put the easel in my painter sim's inventory -- and the painting went in and got stuck, since it wasn't his. I would have just accepted this -- except now every other large painting that went in got stuck "behind" the bugged painting in the stack. This would have been disastrous, since my painter sim loves to do large paintings from reference all over Sulani, but he would have not been able to get them back to his gallery to sell. (And you can't put them in the household inventory when off the lot, and you can only put them in another sim's inventory when they are present with you.) 

    So, iamsweetmystery, thank you so much for this elegant solution!

    @flotsette1So I have this problem too then found this solution and was very happy. Only I don’t have Seasons and apparently you can only do the gift thing with Seasons. Really? I don’t want Seasons and I shouldn’t have to buy it to fix a game glitch.

    I even moved my sim to a new house, still stuck. I repaired the game, I use no CC or mods, I tried testing cheats but that didn’t work. Can this please be fixed, EA?

    Hi Sasha, I have no mods or cc in my game, have all of the packs and just tonight I'm having issues getting things from my Sims inventory. I've repaired the game, I've saved and came out. First time it wouldn't let me save and I lost the progress I made in the Blast from the Past event which resulted in me losing my rewards but still showing the event as complete. The game is so glitchy just now it's becoming unplayable 😭 I don't want to sell my inventory because I have collectables in it I need for my game play.
