Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Seasons (though this happened before I stopped running Seasons as well)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sims continually comb the beach for trash in Sulani until the find a 'On Phantom Wing Framed Art'
What happens when the bug occurs? This item is not live draggable, cannot be sold from the sim's inventory, and it cannot be placed in the world by the sim - therefore it will be stuck in their inventory their whole life
What do you expect to see? Either be able to sell it through their inventory or have them place it in the world while on their home lot so I can sell it in build/buy mode
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
When beachcombing for trash, all items found are fine, except the On Phantom Wing framed art - this will remain stuck in the sim's inventory until they die as it is not live draggable and they can't place it in the world either.

I just found a work around - but it only works for children and teenagers. A sim in the scouting 'career' or after-school activity can donate the item to charity. From now on, I'm gonna just have children and teenagers beachcomb for trash XD
