Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a chicken coop and a neighbour with chickens.
What happens when the bug occurs? I recently started a new save to make a loosely medieval themed game. I downloaded some cc from Lili's Palace inclucing a chicken coop. My sim Guinevere had a chicken and a rooster. I noticed after a couple of days her chicken disappeared and I assumed a fox got her, but now I'm not so sure! I got a new chicken and carried on. Then I decided to make her a neighbour, Auden. He lives in the same area of Henfold, and I got him the same cc chicken coop but no chickens as he'd run out of money. One game night later and he has a chicken - Guinevere's! I got her a replacement chicken and hoped for the best. The next day her replacement chicken moved in to Auden's coop as well! So I tried to take them home. But despite it saying the first chicken at least lived in Auden's coop, I couldn't put either in his inventory because it said he didn't own them! I can put them in his household inventory though, but there seems to be no way to get them back the Guinevere's house. The next sim day her rooster moved in too! So I decided to save and quit for now. Auden has 2 chickens and a rooster living with him that he doesn't own and can't get rid of. And Guinevere has none!
What do you expect to see? Chickens staying at home and not moving out!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Did the latest updates as of 7th of August 2024
I just want my chickens to stay where they belong. Auden is becoming a repeat offender chicken thief without trying, and Guinevere has paid for 3 chickens and a rooster who have all moved out!

I honestly don't know! I've spent all day testing in a different save with different combinations of custom and vanilla coops, and so far I haven't been able to replicate the issue.

Do you mean with all cc removed or just the vanilla coop?
