@aimalyn That's exactly how I play, my parents are stand-ins for me and my deceased wife and they just pop out twins over and over. I've been naming them in order of the alphabet and my goal is to have a pair of twins for each letter. XD

This is happening for me as well. Was hoping the june patch would fix but nothing. The only workaround I have found is cheating sims into your household by shift click add to household. So to move sim A out of household A without losing collections I need to play Household B and shift click Sim A into the household. When i go back to Household A the collections will still be there.

I have all expansions, including Eco Lifestyle and my game is patched to the most current patch, and i suddenly have resetting collections as well.

It happens on two different occasions.

The first time I noticed it happen is when I went into Manage Worlds and edited one of the existing households (not the one i was playing) I didn't add or delete a sim, I just did some different clothing and makeup, when I returned to my currently played household my collections were all gone, and this was particularly upsetting because I've been playing this sim for the Super Sim Challenge, and his collections were about halfway completed.

 

The second time, I had restored the collections I could from the items my sim still owned, and a while later sent him on vacation in Sulani, upon returning all his collection progress had reset yet again.

 

I do use mods, but I've removed them, started a new world, gathered some collection progress, then went and edited the clothing of another family, and the same thing happened, the collection had reset. The same was true for returning from vacation, the progress was reset again.

 

I saw that this has been a long standing problem with different causes, I haven't tested any other causes, but i hope this can be fixed, it's so discouraging to see the collections you worked hard for, vanish over and over again.

I have this problem, to the point that I'm building a museum under my family's house to store at least one of each item so when it resets again, I have the items. And once I collect all of them, I'll just give up on constantly re-collecting things. I do a lot of moving sims out if this one family, because it is a legacy sort of family, so each generation's heir stays with the so distantly related they only count as "descendent" matriarchs. The parents and siblings move out. So I find this to be a constant annoyance.

 

All content (except Star Wars), no custom/mods.
