Hello simmers!I was wondering if anyone knew how to give objects back to another sim in a different household?My sims currently have a bunch of military trophies from my military sim who now lives in another household. If I give him a gift of these military trophies, will he have them in his inventory? Thanks for your help!

Maybe you could put them in an empty lot, sell it with furniture included, then get the other sim to buy the lot, take possession of the objects and then resell the lot.

What I do when I want to share items with another household, is that I create a room - as small as possible, depending on the items (in my case usually art) - and then save the room to my library. Then I just switch households, place the room on that lot, get the items and then demolish the room.

@Netzspannung's method is much simpler than mine (and I'll probably be using it from now on!).Mine would be to temporarily add your military Sim to the household, let them pick up their stuff, and then move them back to their own house.

I had a sim gift a death flower to a ghost (they were in different households) so he could use it to make ambrosia, and it appeared in his inventory when I switched households just fine, so I assume the same would happen with the military stuff

My sims have had gift items in their inventory. But putting them in a room uploaded to the gallery for safety is a good idea.

How to give an object to a sim in a different household?

This is a good idea! I'll try that out.

Before you do do any of them, I would save the room of trophy’s to the library. Lots of good suggestions here,

Seems to work giving a gift. Just tested it in-game.

As others have said, even though there seem to be many different methods to try, definitely save the trophy room to the library first. I'd hate for you to lose them!

Let us know if you manage to get the trophies back to your Sim. :smile:

I'm pretty sure that a kid npc stole my toy cat. The last time I saw it, she was playing with it. I checked her inventory later but couldn't find anything.
Oh Sushi Cat, where could you be?
