Seeds Stuck in Sim's Inventory

Post by Sonshine » July 23rd, 2019, 12:22 pm

Hi again, not a mod question this time, lol. Anyway, my sim has at least 1 money tree seed in her inventory that seems to be stuck. It's like it shows, but it's not really there. Last night it showed up as three seeds and just now when I loaded the game, it shows up as 1 seed. When I mouse over it to take it out or whatever, a large hand appears over the entire seed instead of the small hand w/an arrow. When I tried to move it out, a copy of sorts would appear, but can't be picked up and it still appears in her inventory. : / T hat was last night. Right now, it can't be moved out of her inventory at all. I can't move it out of her inventory and I can't delete it. I tried clicking on the ground/MC/Radius Purge, but it does not show up to delete. I've tried resetting her and I've tried resetting the whole lot, but nothing works. What else can I do?

Edit: I think this world is breaking or something. I just bought a multi tab for the family and nobody can interact w/it at all. When I put it in their inventory, the only thing I can do is remove it. When I put it on the table, there is no interaction at all. :(

Did you try to click on the lot she is in, choose MC>Object Stats>Sim> ? This gives you a list of all sims inventory on that lot, it seems to work better than doing it individually. And I've generally not had much luck with radius purge, so I don't use it.

One way to shake things loose when they get stuck in an inventory (of any kind) is to sort them; MC has that function. Or to purge (force delete), the way is as JohnL83 mentions except I think it goes MC > Object Stats > Inventory then select the items to purge.

Thanks guys! However, I followed the steps except that I had to go MC/Object Stats/Sim. Then it just showed objects in their (the family's) personal inventories w/the active sim at the top of the list. Otherwise, it showed everything on the lot! Unfortunately, she still has one "phantom" money tree seed in her inventory. The other money tree seeds were purged, but she still has one left that I can't do anything with. When I did just inventory, that money seed still did not show up.

I'm going to try one more thing, to move her out and then back in.

Edit: Well, I don't know what happened, but the seed is plantable now. I did a reset sim on her and also a reset lot. Sometime after that is when the seed became usable.

I do still have one more problem in that household. The multi tab still does not work. There is no interaction w/it at all.

Well, I just checked again today, and everything is working. I have no idea why it didn't work last night. Maybe my comp was "tired" although, I've never had that happen before.
