I'm not sure if this is a glitch or intended or if this has even been addressed before but I had this issue today and It was very upsetting.
I have been playing a collection challenge where my sims are working on completing every none event-based collection available and I was storing most items in the Buyer Beware chest. I decided to move my sims into another world and move everything that could go into the chest for easier organization then put the chest into the household inventory.
After moving and placing all my sims furniture I moved on to taking some stuff out of the chest only to find that it was completely empty and none of the collectibles were in the hh inventory. The only things that I still have are the items the went directly into the hh inventory or my sims' inventory.
Needless to say that was a very frustrating discovery as most collections were almost done or completely done. I can fix it using cheats but it is incredibly annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
All's fair in love, war and mini-games. "Me"

You could try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play, before your sim moved house.To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version. Then you could make a small room, place all the collectibles items into the room, and save the room to your library. Then download the room into the new home after moving,

OK. Good to know that this isn't an isolated bug and that it's been reported, hopefully, it will be fixed eventually. Thank you Rosemow you're always so helpful, Unfortunately before I noticed your response I went the long way of replacing everything by using the show hidden object cheat then cheating the money back.

We are trying to reproduce your issue and I have a question for you if you are willing to answer
How are you moving households? Manage Worlds, Merging through marriage, or simply using the phone?
Thank you very much!
I used the computers move household option. Chose a property, selected to keep furniture but I put the chest into household inventory my self beforehand.
