Re: Cant place strangerville medals in display case

Hi;

This is interesting; I attempted to reproduce your issue by using one of my own military Sim's medal displays. In build mode, I can't even select the medals from the display case at all after they're placed into the display case. The only way I was able to 'free" the medals was to put the entire display case into the household inventory before they became available again.

It's strange that the medals are not being depicted for you as "owning" them though, as my own ended up accessible. Perhaps it has something to do with the medals first being generated?

I may have to try this differently with a new Sim; I am unsure how to fix this in the interim aside from the usual "rejoin the career and regain the medals" path; I don't think you should have to do that for medals you've already earned.

    @burin077 I think it has to do with the whole having her move into a different home. I didn't have this problem until after she moved.

    @Dingushu  @burin077 I was fascinated by your findings, @burin077 , so I booted up my Strangerville save (with my military carer sim). I hope you don't mind my adding what I found...

    I had never used the display case or his medals. Upon entering the lot I checked and the household apparently owns the display, as I found it in the household inventory. I found his medals in his personal inventory. I was able to drag his medals from his personal inventory into the display case. The only interaction possibility in build more or live mode after that was to admire the medals.

    So... I had him select through his phone to move the family and take the furnishings. Upon entering a new lot with them that they moved into, I found the same thing you both did... The case and medals were all separated from each other and in the household inventory. I was able to drag the empty case into the new home and could not add the medals from the household inventory directly into the case, but I could drag the medals onto the floor in build mode, then enter live mode and either tell him to 'put in inventory' for each, or drag them one at a time into him or into his inventory or drag them one at a time into the display case (from the ground or from his personal inventory).

    That didn't work for me. I get a message that says my character doesn't own this object. Can't admire move in live mode drag during build into the case etc.

    It looks like @SheriGR has a possible solution in post #4. I suggest giving that a try.
