I've noticed something strange recently, Things have been disappearing around my sims house and inventory. The only common thing to happen between these disappearances is saving and quitting the game, then opening the game to discover few to many things missing. For example, I've played with this sim in particular quite a lot so all skills are maxed out. I have a few fish tanks so I went to my nearby fishing spot and fished up a couple cool rare fish like the rainbow fish, captain fishbones, and a gummie guppy. After a long play session i saved and exited the game. upon starting the game the next day I noticed that all fish in both my tanks were gone. I thought to myself no big deal they probably just "die" (even though I've never seen a fish do that before). I fished up some more fish and filled my tanks, save & exit. Next day I start the game and the tanks are empty again and my front door is now also missing, and a few of my sims masterpiece paintings are gone. I have no idea if this is a bug or if my game is just all kinds of messed up.
I have gone through the forums before making this post and have seen that this issue was supposedly fixed but some things in my sims home still just pop out of existance so I'm not sure how to recreate this if it is a bug other than it only seems to happen with I save & exit. I have included my save files hoping that it may help.
@LostOne20 I was FINALLY able to duplicate the issue. It actually only seems to happen in one of your saves and I tested the other one.
The aquarium in your legacy save seems to be broken. It lighting is neither on nor off. If you click on it, you will notice it has a lights on as well as a lights off option.
If you turn it OFF it will repair itself. If you turn it on, it will completely break (fish no longer visible at all).
You can also just rebuy a new aquarium. That should also fix it.
Let me know if that works for you.
