Re: Cant place strangerville medals in display case

@tkm4life I don't play the Sims 4 anymore but if memory serves correct you have to put the medleys in your Sims inventory then open your Sims inventory and drag the medals into the display case.

Hello to all. 

    I'm having the same issue. In my case? I moved into a house in Strangerville. My sim met a scientist, I decided to move her in so they could work together to defeat the mother plant. Everything went well. I moved along with the male sim to complete the investigation. I also had the female work on her investigation. They both finished everything, including defeating the mother plant. But the last milestone for the female didn't unlock. I don't know why a scientist would forget their training. But the female was a scientist until she moved into the male's house, then she had no skills to create any cures. But this is just an overview of the situation.

    I had the male join the military, he got to level five, and he received five metals. I was able to place all of the metals in the display case, at first. Once I defeated the mother plant, I had the couple move to Henford which is part of the Cottage Living DLC. When I went to set up the house? The game told me that I don't own the metals, so I can't put them into the sim's inventory or the display case. I can only move the metals in the build mode. I can place the metals on shelves while in the build mode, but I can't put the metals into the display case or move them in the living world. It's really nice that Maxis gives us all of these interesting things to enjoy. But it's horrible that they are rendered useless and frustrating because of short sightedness and/or glitches that plague this game. Is there an answer to this or will I need to wait for a patch? I was able to add a screenshot of the shelves and the display case. 

                                                                                    Thanks for any consideration?

I don't think there's any solution if you've lost ownership of the medals, except to recover and load an earlier save where you still owned them.

You probably need to remove the medals from the case before you move, and keep them in personal inventory unitl you return them to the case after the move. This is probably a good idea for any personal items that can be held in personal inventory.
