Re: Ownership disappears from objects after "Move Household".

@Pick-a-boo_doo I asked around, as I haven't seen this as a mod-related issue or run into it itself. Turns out that's because I tend not to use inventory a lot on moving (and because it's a bug that doesn't happen every time). 

What's I'm told is that moving via Split Households in Manage Households or via move/evict in Manage Worlds is less likely to cause this issue, and that after you have the issue, your option for getting objects out is multisell. 

You might end up wanting to load an earlier version of your save and change how you make the move happen.

    Hi there
    Thank you for your reply.
    First of all, I would like to say that I am posting via translation, so I apologize if I am not able to convey the message correctly or if I am unable to understand the content of the reply.

    As you say, I have seen similar issues posted about household separation and MOD-related issues. But neither applies to me.

    The data that first encountered the problem was the data that started before the most recent update.
    This problem did not occur before the update.
    After posting here, I performed a factory reset, repaired the game, and started checking with new data.
    I thought that using arguments to limit DLC might be the cause, so I started the game with all the DLC I owned available.
    I created a new Sim and moved it to Streamlet Single.
    I have place some items that can be moved directly to the Sim's inventory in Live Mode. I did "Move Household" with some of the items in my Sim's inventory.
    After moving to Nookstone, I took out the refrigerator, bookshelf, lamp, My Sims Trophy, frog, and canvas from the household inventory.
    Ownership of everything had disappeared, and it was no longer possible to purchase books from the bookshelf or store food in the refrigerator.
    Items that were in the Sim's inventory remain owned even if they are placed in a new lot.
    Does this problem occur with your data?
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    No matter what I do, this problem keeps happening, so I can't play anymore.
    Even if you replace a new item, you will lose ownership of the item the next time you move again. I already have checked that...
    I can no longer make my Sim move.

    Hi @Pick-a-boo_doo This is indeed a game bug, I'm told -- and not a new one! You may be able to find a report in Bug Reports . If you use Manage Worlds to move a household, do you have the same problem? That might be a way to avoid it.

    Sorry I couldn't read it correctly.
    I just tried moving the household from World Management.
    after that,
    ・In Live Mode, place items from household inventory on the premises.
    ・Place items from world management
    I tried the above two patterns, but the ownership rights disappeared in both cases.
    Should this be integrated into a bug report somewhere?
    Or should I make a new report?

    @Pick-a-boo_doo Make a new report. If Crin can find an earlier one, she'll move it 🙂 Be super detailed! And copy your save to your desktop in case it's asked for.

    Hi there, thank you for all your help.
    Since there was a new update, I created a report testing the latest version and posted it to the bug report board.
    It's a duplicate of this thread, but I'll leave it up to you to decide whether to delete this thread or not.
    (I think it was designed so that the poster could not delete a thread that had a reply.)
    Thanks again.

    Thanks @Pick-a-boo_doo ! I know it's more fun to play than to help test (well, for most people :D ), but some kinds of bugs just would never get solved without players like you putting the time in!
