i did not take a photo of my guitar before because i didnt know it would disappear so i do not have any photos that will help. i just downloaded the game and have played less than 8 hours.

Try a game repair. In Origin, you can do that by right clicking on the game in your library.

@heavenlyterp  Just to confirm - you checked both the Sim's inventory and the household inventory, and the guitar is in neither place, nor visible anywhere on the lot?

[heavenlyterp]

correct. it is not in either sims inventory (i only have 2 sims) nor is it in the inventory when i go into build mode
