Sim’s homework disappears

I’ve noticed the last few times i have opend my sims and loaded my family my child’s homework disappears. I keep rebuying it from the computer but whenever i close my sims and reopen it, the homework is gone again😔. I don’t know if it happens to teens too but I only have a child right now. (I don’t use any mods)

  • Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry.
    - Close the game
    - Copy the save game with the error from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
    - Start your save game
    - Check if you still have the error and if you do, try the double load again.
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    Hii, I did what you said and restarted it about 5 times to make sure it worked. And the homework seems to be staying in the sim’s inventory for the 5 times i restarted the game.😄 Thank you!

    Hi, sorry for the late reply! but I’ve already figured that out in the meantime😆

  • I have to constantly buy homework from the bookshelf because when sims  go to school with homework then don't come back with it. Or if I go to school with the students, when they arrive home, there is no homework.

    Hi BruceFS123​ 

    are you using mods/cc in your game ? Is homework the only thing that goes missing ? There's a known mod issue that makes inventory items disappear.
