Magic Beans
Magic Beans:
My sim ordered/purchased the rare seed packets. All of the magic beans have been used in creating the Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree. A Forbidden Fruit seed has been planted from the Mystical Magic Portal Tree. A Forbidden Fruit Tree has grown and produces fruit. But, with the extra magical beans in my sim's inventory does not recognize it as an owned item of any sim. My sims can not pick it up and it's not registering as an item collected. I have tried repairing and updating my game, still with the same results.
Any ideas on how to rectify this issue? Is this a glitch that has transposed since the Origin Beta Dash started? I thought it was something to do with my computer seeing as I just bought this computer and something didn't download properly. I fired up my old computer and attempted to do the samething with the magic beans once order/purchased. Again my sim wasn't able to pick it up as the callout box stated '{Your Sim} does not own this item.' This gives me reason to believe something needs to be fixed within the programming of Sims 4.
I have seen this in my game from time to time with various collectibles, not just the beans. Basically, since the items aren't being recognized as owned by your sim, they won't get counted for the collections. But I have found a work around of sorts. If the items are in your sim's inventory, you can gift them to another sim in the household and then they seem to get counted as owned by that sim and for the household and will get counted in the collection. So you might want to give that a try. But it does require more than one sim in the household. So if you're playing a one sim household, you might have to add a sim temporarily to get it to work. Sometimes, even though your sim can't pick the item up since it's not owned, you can drag it into the sim's inventory. If you can't then, you should be able to sell it in build mode. I've found that this usually happens when you move a sim via the move out and split household options on the phone or computer. It usually doesn't happen when you split the household via Manage Households.
Hope this helps.
