I'm having the issue with items disappearing from inventory. My Sim had collected a bunch of stuff, and suddenly everything was gone, except for some items he bought at the flea market. I repaired the game but the items didn't come back.
Not long ago I reset and reinstalled the game, trying to solve other bugs I was having. I really don't feel like doing that again. I usually don't have problems with software, I almost never see bugs in other programs. But in the Sims, I've been running into them a lot.

@SummerSn0ws Did you by chance use CAS.fulleditmode cheat to edit your household? This issue also happened in my game and I have been doing some testing. I had used that cheat in all three of the saves when items started disappearing. @Rosemow I added this information to the thread you linked above

It is helpful information that it has occurred after using that cheat. It was good to add it to the thread

Thanks, EuphorialQueen. I have not used that cheat. I did use some other cheats (moveobjects and hiddenobjects), *but* not in this game. See, I keep all my games separate - because I had that issue where saving a game overwrote a different game. I backup the saves folder to a different location, and when I want to play a different sim/family/game, I replace the game's save folder with the save folder that I've backed up for that sim.
I don't know if that made sense. It's a folder on my computer with folders inside called, "Legacy," "SmithFamily," "DevelopersCove," like that. I copy the save file for the one I want to play into Documents\EA Games, then I start the game. When I'm done playing, if nothing has gone terribly wrong (such as my Sim losing their inventory or some other bug), I backup the file from Documents\EA Games back to its backup folder. The point is that I didn't use the cheat on this game (the save folder for the "Fractals" family), but I did use the moveobjects and hiddenobjects cheat on the save for "DevelopersCove."
So I'm wondering, how does the game break when a cheat is used? Is the problem in the save file? Somewhere else?
@Rosemow, the items are not in the household inventory.
Hello @SummerSn0ws
It would be good to post feedback about the issue on the AHQ EA thread that I linked to. The issue has been occurring with other simmers also, and the information can help the developers with this issue.
@SummerSn0ws The method you described of keeping track of your games makes perfect sense to me. That is what I do to keep my games safe as well. As for cheats breaking the game the ones you've been using are safe to use. At least I haven't had any problem with them.
@SummerSn0ws Did your Sim go to any of the City Living Festivals around the time that you noticed inventory went missing?
I started a new save with new Sim and her Teen daughter.
Mom went to the GeekCon event while her daughter was at school. When I got the notice her daughter was home from school I used the option to "bring here". She appeared at the festival with only her homework. I know she had her personal diary (Parenthood) and her completed school project plus a packed lunch and Medicine. The items were not in any personal or family inventory.

There have been inventory issues connected with attending the Festivals. It is helpful to read what occurred in your game.

My Sim went to the flea market and also GeekCon. Maybe the spice festival, I don't remember. I'm not sure if the issue started before or after going to the festivals.

The items may be missing due to your sims visiting the festivals. Try seeing if items continue to go missing, if it is around the same time that your sim has visited a festival .
This is happening to me too. New game, the usual tests (after 18 years its a routine). I have three Sims in one house. If I leave any behind and visit another lot the Sim(s) at home have their inventories empied on return. It has happened after visiting a festival and in one case a visit to a secret lot. If I take all three together so far their inventories are left intact. It has happened in Oasis Springs and Brindleton Bay. I have no Sims living in the City so its not an apartment issue. This really needs to be fixed, the last wipeout took 4 books that a sims had written. We have to work to fill those inventories so Sim Gurus or whoever fixes this, Please fix soon. Cheers.

Hello @pepipopumpkin
This issue with missing items in apartments was fixed in a patch. Try going to Games Library in Origin, right click the sims 4 icon and check that your game is uptodate.
Repeat of missing items just now.
*No Mods/ Zero CC/ Game had been repaired

"I have been playing a single Sim (Oldwin Quince) household aiming for the Rosebud achievement. Keeping him young using many Youth Potions. He completed the archeology aspiration and met and married his soulmate a couple of Sim weeks ago. Roscoe (his husband) was already in the Science career. Everything was good until just now. Followed Roscoe to work (Science career level 9). I had done this before without any problems. One of the tasks was to "Clone self". At the last few minutes of the shift I decided to go for it and Ivan /Roscoe's clone was born. All was well until the shift ended and they got home. Roscoe's inventory was intact complete with upgraded science objects. Oldwin only had 2 Machete left in his inventory. The plants, fossils, guitar, violin and music other things including adventure gear and relics are gone."
Edit: I was able to restore an earlier version of the save to see what went missing. I really do not want to go backwards and lose the clone.
No Festivals were involved.
Lost items were not in family inventory.

Hello
You could go back to the earlier save game version, and place the inventory items in a room. Then save and upload the room to your library. Then go back to the save with the clone in it, and download the room into your save game,
@Rosemow I just wish the cause can be determined. I really did not suspect that creating a clone might trigger this issue. Luckily it was not my Scientist. They are always loaded down with gems and such for their work tasks.
A similar issue just happened with my wife's game regarding items missing from inventory.
Two Sim household, not in an apartment, recently went to a flea market, and fished.
First both of her Sims went to the flea market, bought some item's and went home and noticed only a few of the items were in her family inventory. One of her Sims went to work, while the other was fishing. After the other Sims got off work she brought them to the current Sims location. They fished, and got collectibles and went home. She then noticed most of the items in the 'working' Sims inventory disappeared.
What's the deal with the creepy Sim in the yellow shirt, and glasses? The one right up there! I'm guessing what ever he is it starts with "serial".
