Sims 4 computer disappeared

[Ohmyemma111]

Hi, i made a new family, moved them into a new home and furnished it.  I bought the cheapest computer, $900 i think it was.  Sim used it for programming and playing games, then went to the fridge to get food. Suddenly got the mischief achievement or whatever that was. I went to click on the computer to have him do more programming but it had disappeared.  I've googled this and it appears to be a bug from 2015!  My sims are new and don't have much money so buying a new computer will be expensive and cause my other sim stress due to spending money! Cheating a new machine in will, i understand, stop me from getting any further achievements - this may or may not be the case but i don't want to risk it.

Is there a fix for the disappearing computer glitch?

Kind Regards, Emma.

Do you have ECO Lifestyle. If so does your Sim have the Recycle Disciple trait?

Thank you for the answer.  It turns out the sim who was actually using the computer, who's aspiration is to be a computer whiz, is the recycle disciple and presumably recycled the computer into nothing. At least i know it's not a glitch
