Gifts from various sources not owned/sellable/visible in collection

Ever since I purchased the Life and Death DLC, I've been having an issue where my sims get items as gifts from NPCs or through events like sticking their hands in a Netherworld Fissure and they cannot sell these items. When the items are placed in world, it states that my sim doesn't own these items. Now my sims personal inventory is bogged down with items they cant get rid of. 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title. Seems it's the same issue as this: [BDK] Gifts from dust bunny not owned/not getting visible in collection | EA Forums - 11715750 but for other sources too.

    I have this issue as well - it has been an issue since the DLC came out. This means I can't sell them on a selling table, etc. You can sell them in the Sim's inventory, but only by using Multiselect. Playing on PC with mods/CC, but have removed these and tested with multiple saves and mods/CC do not affect this issue.

  • Hi! So dust bunnies were in my sims house. And I asked them to look for collectables. And they found some stuff and put it in my inventory. I tried selling it straight from my sims inventory but it said I couldn’t. So I placed it in world and it says my sim doesn’t own it and put it back in her inventory. Only way to bypass this is opening build mode and selling it there. 
    Yes I play with CC on PC.

    Please follow these steps to test  your game on vanilla game with no mods/cc

    • Create a backup of your save game
    • Move your mods folder to the desktop
      • Delete the following files from your user folder.
      • localthumbcache
      • Any lastException Files
      • Any LastCrash files.
    • Test on the backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

    Do you have the issue only with the dust bunny found items or also others ? Does it also happen if you get gifted something ?

    Yes it also happens to my sims get gifted by other sims. I loaded into a different family and had that sim gift my sim some objects (crystals and fossils) so when I loaded into my original sims household it still did this. I originally found the bug that way but I didn’t think too much about it until stumbling across it again with the dust bunnies.
