Had this on all 3 game new start so far after the last update.

Edit: I also can't place the Plasma Fruit to the world so it might related to the vanishing harvestable bug other have and moving the harvestable between inventory after loading the game might a work around to prevent this bug as well.

Marking this as fixed as I believe it was related to the harvest bug.

@Schwarzbart00 To be clear, are they actually gone from your inventory but the game still gives you the option to use them ?

It does sound like the other issue people are seeing

[Schwarzbart00]

Start play the game -> look into inventory there 99+ Plasma Fruit! But when I use the bar to make a Plasma Jane the action icon to do so direct vanish.

Also I can't place them to the world from the inventory i.e. onto the bar.

After put the Plasma Fruit to a other Sim of the household and place it back to my Vampire I can put them into the world and also can use the Plasma Fruit for the Plasma Jane again.

They continue to work normal till I quit the game and load it later again where I then have the same issue again!

@Schwarzbart00 Is the Plasma fruit the only harvestable you have this issue with ? what if you have < 99 plasma fruits ?

There's this issue for flowers where stacks of 99+ causes issues: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-A-Unable-to-sell-flowers-roses-and-birds-of-paradi...

Very same bug when I only leave a stack of 7 in the inventory of my vampire before save & exit the game and load it again. So nope have absolut nothing to do with the size of the Plasma Fruit stack. Same corruption of the Plasma Fruit stack on load no mater if I have 7, ~50 (was around this size when I first realized this bug) or over 99.

Edit: and the bug must be on load because when discovered it the first time it was when I loaded my save with this patch that was from before this patch.

@Schwarzbart00 But only for plasma fruit ? you don't have issues with other ingredients for other drinks on the bar ?

[Schwarzbart00]

Appears it is only Plasma Fruit for me that get bugged. My Vampire also have 7 Coconut in the inventory and can make the Lotta Cocolata without issue after load. 

I also checked with some other harvestables (Coconut, Garlic, Avacado & Pineapple) if I can place the into the world and I can place them without issue, so again only the Plasma Fruit that have issues.

@Schwarzbart00 OK. Thank you for all the additional info.

[Schwarzbart00]

Tried if removing all Plasma Fruit from the household (sold / used them up) and then save and reload fix it, but sadly it did not. Next time I save and load with some fresh Plasma Fruit I got the issue again.

Reason I tried it is that maybe the stack size in the household or a single corrupted Plasma Fruit is the underlying problem.

I just started having this issue on the PS4 after the update today. I have successfully played a 2 vampire household for over a week of real time and no issues. After update, neither vampire can make Plasma Jane. PLEASE FIX
