I sometimes have this frequent popup message that tells me "one or more build items have been removed" and I noticed that one of the build mode items I use often is gone, but it wasn't just that that caught my eye, I also noticed that one of the nails I use just as often (From the Spa Day game back) has also been removed from CAS, even if I were to search through the category, it doesn't appear. I have no idea what to do about it or how to fix it. someone help?

@ZeldaPrissy If you read through the nails bug report there seems to be several potential issues, including one where there was a swatch change. Is it possible that you are seeing a nail be removed that was changed in an update? Can you share a screenshot of the item that is missing in BB that you noticed was gone? There is a bug report about getting a message that items were removed and nothing is missing: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVE-Items-Removed-pop-up-appears-when-no-items-removed/m-p/10526256I just chatted with a friend who says he has gotten this message on every lot recently. Edit: this same friend also went in and checked, and he says some of the nails are missing from the selection panel for these Sims. He just checked and the Sim still had the nails on, and the nails seemed to stay on the Sim if he leaves them alone, but if he removes the nails there is no option to put them back on, and there is no ability to change their color. There is a bug report about this here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-SD-Missing-nails-in-CAS/m-p/12489099#M247956If that bug report matches that part of your issue, you can add your 'Me Too' and 'XP' to the report and follow updates on it to get notified if people share any discovered workarounds or if there is a solution in a patch.It's also possible you have a couple of these things going on and that's making it even more confusing? 🤷🏽♀️

@ZeldaPrissy Is this possibly what you're seeing? If so, you can add your information and 'Me Too' and follow that bug report to see if a solution/work-around or fix comes...https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-SD-Missing-nails-in-CAS/td-p/12489099

@SheriGR I don't think so, if its helpful its not in the categories and even if i were to repair the game or start a new save, it still doesn't appear, its like the game just deleted it itself

The green checkmarks are ones that are available for use, the red marker is the one missing and is nowhere to be seen in the nail category or even in the accessories in general. (note that the nails were only on my sim because I had it saved in my gallery, its matte but I chose a different swatch)

I also had this problem in the build and buy as well. The gaming chair I also use frequently had disappeared out of the blue.

@ZeldaPrissy I apologize... I just found out that with the "Pack Cheats>Expansion Packs" cheat that pie menu will come up as follows: testingcheats on > Pack Cheats>Expansion Packs > Then you shift-click a sim in live mode to bring up the following options (I have all packs, no Mods/CC):

So it appears that is normal behavior if you have added that cheat.

As far as the chair, I'm confused, as when I Google this I can confirm that the chair is part of the early purchase bonus content... if purchased by September 8, 2022. If you just recently purchased the pack, and did not purchase it by September 8th, I don't understand how the chair got in your game, and if it was downloaded within something that would explain why it was removed, as it would be something that is not content that's attached/included with your High School pack purchase?

Also, I was made aware of a Mod that appears to possibly address your nail bug. It was mentioned in a 'luthienrising forum post', which was shared on EA AHQ (thanks for that, @MapleSimmer ).
It's called "Spa Day Female Nails Restore" by MasSIMo.

So this post would describe the problem I'm currently having and its so frustrating that it makes me want to throw my pc out of the window. (please excuse my anger issues) https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Household-Build-Items-Removed-when-Playing-and-I-own-Everything/td-p/8481631

@ZeldaPrissy I'm so sorry for your frustration! From all of the links & info mentioned in this thread about 'reasons why' this message would pop up for some folks & in some situations, I've learned some things myself.
Personally, I've even found that there were times where I added a debug item while building a home that doesn't actually 'stick' (like certain debug items that are attached to an interaction), and I've been confused about why it was removed when I placed the home in a new location. I've also found that there are some here-and-there items that were bonus content items that I never qualified for (for instance early purchase items, 'gift' items from before I had a pack, etc.) that I was confused about 'why they were removed' when I placed a lot or Sim/household... since I owned all packs. Just to add to the list of confusing reasons, I thought I would mention those, as I don't think I did before.
Anyway, whichever are your particular reasons for the 'removed items' message, I hope things clear up for you, and that there will be some workaround methods that you find through the posts and information in this thread. Also, there are some great recommendations that EuphorialQueen and Crinrict made in the thread you shared.
Thank you for your patience and trying things and reading through the information. And, again, I'm sorry for your frustration.
