Fishing collection glitching and I have tried everything to fix it

I've been playing with my current household for 4 generations. I have almost completed a lot of the collections, I play on xbox one. Now the family I am currently playing moved out to Sulani and I have all the native tropical fish caught and mounted in my main sims inventory. Now when I try to move though it gives me zero credit for any of the fish I have caught and resets the entire collection. It's making me upset because I have played the sims since sims 2 first came out. I have tried reinstalling the game, tried moving the fish between inventories but nothing works and I need to move out of sulani so I can continue my story line.... PLEASE HELP ME I'M GOING TO CRY because I have spent hours working to get those fish.

    @SarahTheSimmer10 Questions are fine. 

    I am not really certain how you have your family set up. 

    If you have a sim who has the fish. There is a child sim (or any other sim really) in the same household, you can give the fish to the child/other sim in their personal inventory.

    You can move that second sim with the fish into the household you want the fish in using "ask to move in" in the friendly social menu and they will move into the household you want the fish to be added to their collection. (Unless the sim is a child, then the adult in the household has to be "asked to move in")

    The new household will then have the fish from the old household. The collections should not reset.

    @SarahTheSimmer10 That's very sweet of you! 

    The new fish should be added to the collection when the sim moves into the new household. If it doesn't, you can put the fish on the ground and have the original household sim "put in inventory" from the menu on the fish.

    The fish collection randomly resetting does sound like a weird glitch, the only time I ever had the issue was when using manage worlds to move sims into or out of my active household. The new move menu makes it easier to move sims in game through the "ask to move in" so you don't have to use manage worlds.
