Eco Lifestyle - Bits and Pieces??

I'm playing Rags to Riches, Off the Grid style and having a blast!! Trying to have my freelance Sim focus on candle making and fabricating which requires bits and pieces, instead of the easier money makers such as painting. I've been having her dumper dive & recycle for 'bits and pieces'.

In the panel where the money is located, there's also two numbers which I think are the bits and pieces.
I have less of the top number (which I need) - I'm assuming that's the bits.
The bottom number I have tons - I'm assuming that's the pieces.

Does anyone know how to get more bits? I can screenshot what I'm referring to (hopefully, I don't have them reversed). I'm curious if recycling certain 'items' gives more bits vs pieces?

If you have Spa Day installed—yoga mats!! They cost 125 simoleons, and you get like 32 bits, and only 10 pieces. It’s the quickest way I’ve found to balance out my bits and pieces, because I used to have way WAY more pieces than bits.

Thanks - I'm suddenly having a terrible time getting bits. I was going to have my Sims build their entire house (or mostly, anyway), and despite recycling everything, they haven't got enough bits to make anything.

All my bits and pieces have suddenly disappeared and using the recycler doesn't seem to produce more. I tried deleting and replacing my recycler but it did not help. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

The only suggestion I have right now is to remove your mods if you are using any. You should also check The Sims 4 forums at EA Answers HQ to see if anyone there is reporting similar problems. https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/ct-p/the-sims-4-en
