Furniture I place in my house e.g. countertop/bedside table, just disappear. 

They don't show up in household inventory and there's no items there at all, they just disappear.

One of my kitchen counters literally disappeared right in front of me.

I'm really confused why this is happening and I've tried to fix it but I'm not sure what to do.

I don't use any mods at all, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hey, do you have the sharing is caring NAP from eco lifestyle currently enabled? It allows sims to go into your house and literally take anything. I kept losing my sink and kitchen countertops and random items in my house. I realized it was due to this N.A.P. Hope this helps!

    OH my god im so stupid, this is literally what it is.

    Haha thank you so much I'm actually stupid !

  • @ajbat849 I had this happen last night when I had just bought the game. I always play "unmodded" at first (to test it out). As I watched, an item *from my inventory* suddenly disappeared. It was a cowplant seed. I've noticed that many other items such as that have also disappeared suddenly. (And in watching some of the EA GameChangers play, they've mentioned it too.)

    The only NAPs in my game are the eco ones. I had heard that "Sharing and Caring" might do that so I made sure *not* to have that in my game.

    I had also heard that having certain traits might make the Sims sell their own stuff, but my Sim has Good, Creative and Genius (and "fast learner") as her traits, which I doubt would do anything like that.

    I have all the EP/GP/SPs except Spooky Stuff. And this was happening with no mods (and the localthumbcache.package had been deleted before I downloaded the game.)
  • I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with The Sims 4, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
