I've had tea sets disappear entirely from lots 3 times now since installing MWS. Posting here to see if anyone else has had the same thing happen.I'm trying to figure out what is causing it, and I suspect it is whatever state the tea set is in. I think this last time I had steeped the tea, but never poured or drank it, so perhaps it is getting removed when it is in the state where it needs to be 'cleaned'.Edit: Other people have confirmed experiencing the same thing. I've put up a bug report for this issue, those of you who have had it happen in your game also may want to add a "Me too" to it: Bug Report is here if you want to add a "Me Too".

are you sure you didn't exit game in between and it failed to save? that seemed to be happening for someonebut no i haven't noticed tea sets going missing maybe theres tea set burglar around :lol:

But yah, I'm sure it isn't a save issue. In 2 of the 3 instances we're talking about a tea set that was there for several days of real time, with many saves and exits and also quite a few uses of the tea set. My sims drink a lot of tea and I like the tea set better than the electric brewer because I can pore 6 cups and then just grab as desired.

oh no, do you have a kleptomaniac maid who steals tea sets?

I only just discovered where the new tea sets were! So far, I only get the option to steep tea, which I haven't followed through on. I am hoping it is like the tea set they gave us with one of the packs back in Sims2. It was more of a formal Japanese Tea ceremony. This would go right along with my Sim's only sister being betrothed. When I get around to this I hope I'm not disappointed.And, no, both tea sets (I bought one of each) are still on the lot.

I use them regularly now and I've not lost one yet. When are they disappearing from your lots?

When I leave and then come back later, they are just ... gone.

One time it happened on a community lot where I had a tea set; I know I didn't have a sim clean it before leaving. The other two times it has been in a home. It's kind of freaky...they just vanish.

@EA_Cade
I've been meaning to create Kaylynn Langerak and add her to the Pleasant household as the maid. I think I'll make her a jealous kleptomaniac and see if she swipes Mary-Sue's lovely tea set ...

You can serve cups of tea and hand them over to individual Sims. I love doing that in the game. It's really nice when your Sim has a guest over to hand them a little cup of tea. :smile:

You can also put the cups in the refrigerator if you want Iced Tea for later. You have to use LIVE drag to do it, but still...
