Anyone else's sim losing their earbuds constantly?

I've just started a new save to check out all there is to do with Island Paradise. As is per usual, not long after my sims started living her life, she got a free pair of earbuds. I had her listening to music on them to increase her fun while she was doing other things, and then they turned off automatically when she went to bed that night. The next day, I went to her inventory and the earbuds were no longer there. I looked all over her small lot, no earbuds.

So I bought her a pair from buy mode and this time I made sure to turn off the earbuds (and check that they were still in the inventory) before going to bed. But then they were gone the next time I checked the inventory.

I can't keep buying her new earbuds every day! But I really like being able to have her listening to background music while she works.

  • No mods, no CC. Even just did a complete uninstall/reinstall to move it between drives on my computer. Fully updated, most packs except Vampires, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Moschino, and Spooky.
  • No, I don't play with earbuds, much, to be honest, but my singer Sim has a peculiar penchant for losing his drone. I've restarted, rebooted this game save countless times to remove corrupted Sims and game saves and this time, I'm keeping a close watch on that dern drone!
  • What earbuds? Did they come with a pack, or are they part of the base game?

    @smoothyrus129 was your sim analyzing ocean samples? If the analyse fails some inventory items will be gone, especially the earbuds :/ It is NOT mod's or cc related, it is a bug from IL. You can press me too here:

    @DMDCT by default the game will give earbuds to all your sims ;) It is by design. ONLY if you own the Fitness stuff pack @CaprianaB ;)

    Ugh, yes, she has been analyzing ocean samples. I guess I won't be doing that anymore until the bug is fixed, I don't want to lose anything else from her inventory!

    Thank you muchly.
