    Final update incase anyone else ever runs into this issue... I fixed it! I deleted the Buyer Beware collection chest from the lot, then went to manage worlds. I then made a new household using the manage households function of the family I was playing in the save, and moved all the sims over. I then moved them back onto the lot as a “new household” (furnished), replaced the chest and it was fixed! For some reason, the previous collection was still there, but I could once again move stuff, so it was a win-win really - not having to start collecting from scratch and sorting out the issue. Thank you once again - if you hadn’t checked it out I would have just presumed it was a bug or a mod issue, but all by starting off by creating a new save, I was able to work it out 🙂

Hi @khordisa 

while I do see the Sims having a tendency to use the chest as bookshelf (they always have been iirc), I don't have any other issues with the box.


Could you start a fresh save that never saw any mods/cc and test if you have the same issue there ? To find out if it's save related.

Looks like its a save issue! Tried a clean save with mods disabled then exiting and renabling them as well as a clean save with mods enabled and both worked :/ Huge bummer as its my 100 baby challenge save and will be an arse to migrate to a new one... thanks for the help though!

    Just been messing about further in the original save with the issue, looks like it is actually an issue with the collectables themselves. If I get a new one and add it to the chest, I’m able to move that one but none of the others...
