Clutters suddenly disappearing from apartment AND lot inventory

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Français
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansion packs: Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, Cottage Livivng and High School Years. Game packs: Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville and Realm of Magic. Stuff packs: Perfect Patio, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Vintage Glamour, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Moschino Stuff and Tiny Living.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The bug happens in build mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? Some (not all) clutters placed in the apartment disappear when I load the apartment or when I leave the game open for a few minutes. Clutters placed in the lot inventory also disappear the same way above. I have to buy them again in the game. It happened with six clutters, they were all placed on other furnitures or put in the inventory.
What do you expect to see? Clutters should stay in the apartement and in the inventory.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I had a problem with my computer and I had to use a restore point, nothing seemed to be lost tho. And I installed High School Years.

Hello, I have the bug I explained above since yesterday. What is wrong with my game?

    @AETUOQDGJLWCBnvx If it's not happening with no mods, then it's time to figure out what mod is causing it. I would start by being suspicious of any mods that do things like split inventory between objects. There are instructions for a 50-50 test method in these forums, and also a list of updated mods in Broken/Updated Mods .

    In addition to what @luthienrising has suggested, some clutter will disappear if it was placed with MOO when you go in and out of build mode with MOO turned off.  It'll also happen with objects placed with Alt at times.  Usually, but not always, the clutter that disappears ends up in the household inventory.  It is usually caused by overlapping object footprints (the little green square you get when placing objects).  So, when it does happen, you have to place it again.  

    Hope this helps.
