Furniture Items disappear during gameplay one by one during gatherings/holidays

Hello,

I'm a long time player. I have all the packs/expansions/etc. I do not have any mods or custom content. I typically use money cheats and skiil cheats and move objects and that's about it. Since the install of Eco Lifestlyle and the subsequent patches, I've had an issue with items disappearing in the game. I'm at a bar in a world (happens on at least 3 worlds) and one by one the chairs all disappear, then the tables, then the tv. Or, I'm at home and when there's a gathering or a holiday the same thing happens. My stove is gone, then a counter, then the table, the chairs. etc. I've tried repairing my game. I'm going to make a new world (but that sucks for a few reasons) and see if I have the same thing or not. Is this a known issue? Does anyone have any ideas about what might cause it?

I'm playing on a Razer Blade 15 laptop. I have 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7 9th gen processor. I have an NVidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. I'm playing in Windowed mode with high graphics. I don't experience any lag or any other gameplay issues. Just things are disappearing one by one. I almost think that the Kleptomaniac trait is gone wrong and htey are stealing too much stuff, but that seems like a really odd bug.

NPCs from other Regions retains their regions NAP policies. This appear to be a bug. BTW there are up to 4 NAPs in each neighborhood.
If you are not opposed to playing with Mods (and keep them updated) There is at least two I have seen "Sharing is not caring" and simvasion_ecointeractions_fix

You have enacted the "Sharing is caring" NAP.

I am the same, have lots of packs dont use CC. I was having the same issue the other day, ended up saving and logging off for the day because I was losing so much stuff (from 100 baby challenge home no cheats except move objects). Logged on today and have lost my gameplay from that day. so confused. @hilaritee48449 it's not the sharing is caring NAP as no sim is present when items disappear.

I have the very same issue since the last update, I've tried repairing the game, but it hasn't changed anything. Still waiting to see if someone can solve this issue.

It looks like you did not save the game properly. If it should happen again please create a new topic for it with steps taken.
Regarding disappearing stuff you say no SIM was present. Am I to understand that while all your Sims were at Work/school you watched as things disappeared from their house? Or what?

@jpkarlsen I don't know if @pvpergh0st is experiencing the same thing I am, but in my game there is another bug that makes objects disappear. Tables and chairs are not loading when I visit certain lots. They disappear before the lot is loaded so it's not from sims taking them. I can place a fresh copy of the lot from the gallery, everything's there, then visit the lot and the items are gone. These objects aren't CC, either.

Do notice that the NPC's steal just about anything if the sharing is caring NAP is enacted. You do not need to visit the lot before this happens.

@jpkarlsen yep, definitely saved game properly (i always double save in case anything happens).
And yes correct while at work/ if whole household was asleep things would disappear. I would then re purchase the items and they would disappear again (the same items too which i thought was weird).

For me, the issue happened when my Sim was present and was holding a gathering. The NAP in place was the fitness related one, not Sharing is Caring. I know how to save the game. I have thousands of hours of playtime. My issue is not that I don't know how to save. We were at a bar having a social event and all of the barstools, tables, chairs etc just disappeared one by one rendering the bar "broken" in Build mode because it was missing all of the elements. If other sims that attended have a Sharing is Caring NAP then I'd say that functionality is not working ideally if it means that the bar is just cleaned out of all stools, tables, chairs decorations etc during an event.
I had the same thing happen at my home which was in a community that didn't have that NAP.
