Moveobjects (Moo) Causing items to disappear

I caved today and bought the Businesses and Hobbies expansion (console user - Xbox Series X). This is my first time buying a pack so close to release. When I went to my current save file to work on a house build I have been working on for weeks, a bunch of items I had previously placed were missing from the build. For example: the stairs, standing mirror, desk, a couple of dressers, many clutter items, etc etc.

I tried restarting the game and restarting the console with no luck in restoring the items. The items are still available in the build/buy mode as far as I can tell - I would have to go through the house and figure out exactly what all is missing and place them back into the build.

The build is actually a replication of my own home so I'm more attached to it than my usual builds. I've spent numerous hours on this build and I am really hoping there's a way of restoring the build as it was pre-installation of this new pack. I have installed many new expansions, game packs, stuff packs, and kits over the past couple of months and have never had this issue up until I installed the Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack today. Everything was so seamless and flawless up until now... I fear that all my hard work is gone forever.

Is this a known issue with this new pack? Is there anything I can do to restore my build to its previous state? HELP!

Hi NCR2023

I merged your thread with the moo thread then.

Make sure to vote.

If you still have those rooms in the gallery can you post the name here ? Since you're on XBox you can't send saves.

I also have this issue. I do not play with mods. It happened a lot on a save file that I was using exclusively to do build/buy mode design of a non occupied residential lot many months ago. I ended up giving up on the file. I see people put stuff on the gallery that is incredibly packed with MOO items to the point that many things are not usable. Yet I can't put a soap next to a sink in a realistic way without either the sink or the soap disappearing eventually. I'm not sure what triggers the disappearances. Recently I started trying to play this bugged out game again and that exact scenario (with sink/soap) happened. This time it is me decorating an occupied residential that I'm also playing in.
I also had a corner counter, a workshop pack repaired oven, and a sink/soap in the kitchen that were all side by side vanish. I believe the sink had a cheated in soap on it. The kitchen was still bare bones otherwise because I hadn't started decorating it yet and wanted something functional.

I'm still decorating the place as of this writing but I put the bathroom sink back and moved the soap to a non cheat placement on the other counter. I also put back the kitchen items without anything on them while I work on other areas. I'm doing a lot of cheat placements elsewhere and play testing as I go. Not sure if any other items have disappeared without me realizing yet or if it will happen again obviously. It doesn't seem fair to me that I can't try to make things look more realistic but people somehow make these extravagant and buggy builds on the gallery all items intact.

I really wanted to get into building awesome builds last year and this bug killed it for me. Hoping it doesn't happen again...not optimistic.

EDIT: I'm not using debug objects at least in this current build. I don't recall for certain in my go last year.
