My sim is currently in the Science career and a few of their inventions are displayed in their house, but now I can't drag the inventions into my sim's inventory. The option to put the inventions into the inventory are greyed out and apparently it's because "(name of sim) does not own this item" even though they invented it! Please help!

Did you move houses since you got the invention ?
Are you using any mods ?
Good Luck

I don't have any mods, but I did move house

Can you sell it and get a new one ? Moving houses seems to make ownership on items get messed up.
Did you move the whole family or move the SIm in with someone else ?

Running to the same "Sim does not own this item" problem, except with the contents of a chest.
Alto Apartments, on the right. Could not delete or access several items in my storage chest. Had not moved the family in seven generations and most of the stuff had only been in the chest a few days. (Do have mods.)
Got frustrated, deleted the chest, and moved the family to a regular lot where I did not use a chest.
Played on the new lot for three generations, then moved back to the original Alto Apartments lot.
Bought a chest, opened it to put my stuff in, and everything that had been in the chest when I originally deleted it was still there. (Fridge also still had food, fish, etc. that had been there when I'd moved out before.)
Threw out everything I could, leaving seven metals that I, apparently, don't own.
Tried resetting the chest; can't reset the metals while they're in the chest.
Moved the chest into and out of the main household inventory.
Used Manage Worlds to transfer my sims to a new household, then moved them back into the apartment lot.
Still can't access the metals in the chest.
Tried various permutations of moving them around with no luck.
Moved a completely different family into the apartment, bought a chest, and the metals were still in it. So it looks like the problem is with the lot itself.
Suggestions welcome.

Hi @Ruffinshot
unfortunately I can't take reports with mods installed. You'll need to check if you can duplicate the behavior if you remove your mods.
Good Luck

So I had collected quite a few collectibles, and had them in my inventory when I moved into my new home. I placed them on some tables and then didn't interact with them for a long time. What the problem is, is that when I went to move, some of the collectibles I couldn't put back in my inventory because "sim does not own this item". it only happened for a few of them, and I was able to just put it in my household inventory.
Problem now is that my collectibles tracker reset and now I supposedly haven't discovered a collectible that sits on my desk lol.

merged your post. Seems this is becoming a growing issue with all kinds of items on moving.
I've adjusted the title of this thread a bit
Good Luck
