Cow & Llama both stuck in HOUSEHOLD inventory

I know there's a bug for the livestock that go to the fair getting stuck in PERSONAL inventory, this is NOT that.

My cow & llama were both doing fine, have taken trips to the fair and were easily put back into their shelters.

I was moving my sims from one lot to another, and that's where the trouble started. I set down the shelters & selected "assign" for each of them, and they never appeared. I tried calling out, nothing. Checked my household inventory and they're both in there, even after repeatedly rebuying the shelters and trying to assign them. 

 

Again. This IS NOT the "stuck in sim's personal inventory" glitch. I cannot place them, I cannot sell them, they won't be moved from the inventory. If I attempt doing "assign", it will say the shelters now contain animals, but the animals are STILL in the inventory and the shelters show no sign of being inhabited (no Zzz animation, no stink animation, animal never exits even when called out, feed levels don't change).

    I am currently having this problem too. I now have a cow and a llama stuck in my household inventory and they won't leave. Did you figure out how to get them out?

    Nice Necro, 

    Thank You though, As I'm getting this issue atm, I made the mistake of putting my shed in house hold inventory to reset it as my cow kept staying in there and starving, ( feed trough full.) Now I cannot get the cow out of household inventory. I tried assigning the cow to the shed, tried resetting object on the shed, tried going to a different lot and back and assigning, tried a new shed, nothing is working going to have to to leave the cow there as  I can't even sell it. I keep getting notice that the cow will leave soon.

    Here is a Link to a video I made of the issue:

    I am having this problem too. I tried using bb.moveobjects to get them out of my inventory but it says "must be placed on specific objects" Like a moving a laptop

    I'm having this problem too. It seems to have stemmed from one Finchwick fair where I told my sim to put my cow into the competition, but the Sims-AI told another sim to do it at the same time. I got an exception error and only the random cow appeared at the fair. However, after it was over I got a prize, and my cow was back in the sim's inventory. Back home I was even able to put the cow back in the shed, so I thought oh well it didn't cause too much of a problem. Boy was I wrong! Much later when that cow died, I tried to buy a new cow, and it never came out. I ended up buying like five cows! They're all stuck in my household inventory, and I can't get them out or sell them. I've got a cow and a llama again now but only because I had the daughter move to an empty lot and buy them before moving back. Yes, the shed works perfectly fine on other lots, just not my sims' family's one. It's so infuriating!!

    There are so many posts about this and it doesn't seem like EA is doing anything to fix it, which is even more infuriating. 

    I have 4 llamas stuck in my inventory that I can't place, so I guess I just can't have llama's then because I can't assign any of them to my shed.

    This is so frustrating because this was never an issue before. I’m currently having this issue now and it keeps crashing my game. I play on console too, so i don’t have any mods- nor can i download any to fix this, also it literally takes like 10-15 minutes to even load the game initially, so this is a huge annoyance. Especially because these games are so expensive and they never seem to fix the issues, they just release the new ones.

    I have 2 llamas stuck in household inventory and I have tried the move objects. I have deleted the animal sheds and bought more of them. We need to be able to delete the livestock in our household inventory.

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried using bb.showhiddenobjects and still no go. At this point I think I'm just going to get rid of my cow entirely which is sad cause I love my cow

    This is completely ridiculous! Why is it OUR jobs to figure this out and go thru a bunch of crazy steps to do so (and those of us on console have to give up our ability to earn achievements FOREVER for that save file to do any of this stuff) when we ALREADY PAID FOR THE GAME?? 

    I know big fixes can be complicated to work out, but how hard could it possibly be to MAKE THEM A DELETABLE OBJECT??? So we can just sell them when they end up in an inventory by accident? Instead of make us just give up an entire functionality (the ability to have a cow or llama) in a game WE PAID FOR.

    This bug better be apart of the fixed bugs they're advertising for next week!! I stopped playing for a whole year because of the romantic relationship bug that drained completely in an hour. Get it together Sims. Stop dropping new hairstyles and dance moves when we just want our game to function properly. Why is my ranch hand inside my house making food when he's off work!??!

    Stopping by to add "me too" to this problem. I moved my family to a larger lot and both the llama and cow are stuck in household inventory. I was able to purchase new sheds and a new cow and llama. Interactions are going fine with the new sheds/animals but I'm disappointed that I've lost my family animals, their relationships and animal clothing of my original animals.
