Household collection dissapearing

dublin1568

I collected all collections.I even have some on the walls displayed,but my household collections are gone.How do i get them back?

DeKay

Did you move house or how did it happen? All I know is that you lose your collection if you save your household to your library and put them in a new save game. For the ones on the wall, you can drag them to your sim's personal inventory and it would count as collected.

Hello
When did you find that your collections weren't counted by the game?

DeKay-I did move to the city,but my household collections were still in there.Space prints,fossils,trophies,masks,garden plants,fish,crystals,frogs,ect...

Hello
Try putting the items from the collections back into the sims inventory, and that should help them to register again.

Hello
I am sorry You could use the debug cheat to show them in build/buy mode, then put them into the sims inventory that way.

Mcruud also has a room that contains all the household collections items

I am sorry you have had this issue You need to either collect the items or do like I suggested in the earlier post.

Hello
It is good that you have been able to get nearly everything back I hope that you will soon have caught all the fish.

Hello
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
