Items disappearing from inventory

I had a fully upgraded Sim Ray with all the bells and whistles vanish from my Sim's inventory, and didn't know why. Now I had my hand crafted guitar and a violin go missing. But I now realize I was analyzing samples, and one said something about the sample was destroyed by whatever my sim put in there, and I now think that that's what did it (which would be another bug). Anyone have any similar occurrences?

    A while back I had all my sims lose everything in their personal inventory. What I had done was I had unmarked the household as played, and if memory serves me correct I think I had deleted my cache files as well. At first, it took me a bit to figure out what was going on, and I tested it a couple of other times to see, and the results were the same.

    I'm not saying this is what is going on in your game, but that was what happened in mine.

    Yeah, that can happen. I've just been playing the one house though, and I didn't lose all my items in inventory, just a few, and while I was playing. But now that I think about it, all those I lost are things you use and then put back into inventory. It may very well be a mod conflict with the game, but I was wondering if anyone else had it happen before I looked at that.

    The only thing that should be destroyed while analyzing is what you are analyzing... plant, crystal, metal and I don't think it always happens. So yeah if one of your crafted items went missing it's a bug or mod thing. So these are things you crafted on the woodworking table? You could have also left it somewhere maybe... did you check household inventory?

    Does anyone have a sim job in Conservationist career? EA has a bug report "Analyzing ocean samples make inventory vanish".

    Thanks for this; so it is a bug. Lost a couple more things, but I've finished and quit the career now. Beautiful world, but buggy game play.

    I keep having things disapear all the time. especially homework. my latest was a whole hose hold off furniture, I was playing one sim and decided to move the house hold to a new home while I was playing the dad away from home. I took him to a junk yard in another pat of town. decided to move them all to this house, so I got him to select move home and when it loaded I selected keep furniture, when they all arrived it was all gone. there furniture and the furniture in the house, all gone, and the game didnt give me the money for it either. so i cheated and did kaching a lot. but it takes away all the plumbing that had been upgraded and all the things they found that we kept. including the hard to find plants.
