Not sure Inventories/Harvestables are fixed after patch: 1.59.73.1020 (PC)

[troshalom]

I tested whether the harvestables bug was fixed with my test game and yes in that game it was fixed. However, I went to my main save game that I use to Save As when I want to create a new game (this game has all the Sims I created, lots I created or downloaded, and custom clubs). So, when I want to start a fresh game I tend to Save As from this game so I don't have to redo all the lots, create clubs etc. I don't play this game, I just update this save with new lots I create and Sims I create. I always save it and then Save As for a new Sim story I create.

One of the Sims whose farm lot I am enhancing, I had him travel to the Del Sol Valley Urban Farm lot I created that has mature plants to harvest from. I then switched to another household to fix their relationships and then changed back to his lot. I sent him back to his home lot and all but two harvestables made it back. 

This is what he harvested from that community lot.

Only two types of harvestables made it back from the 23 he harvested.

So, it doesn't look like this bug is fixed.

I am afraid to go into my other save games as I don't want to continue to lose stuff.

@troshalom Could you upload your save that still has the issue to google drive or one drive and PM me the link ?

Won't have time today though.

[troshalom]

@crinrictSure thing. How do I PM you. I checked your page and clicked contact me and it gives two choices, add to friends and remove from friends. So I added you as a friend, and I still don't see that PM thing.

Ok, I figured out how to DM you, but I don't have permissions to do that.

If you DM me I can reply with the link or post it here.

Update: I figured out how to turn on DMs. I sent you the link to two save files.  

Thanks again for your assistance.

Yeah, definitely problems. I need to be able to play my saved files as well as new games too.

1. Harvested home lot in Newcrest and then traveled to Del Sol Valley

I had him harvest three alien plants while at his club meeting

He then went on a date at a restaurant in Newcrest

Then he went back to his home lot in Newcrest. All of the alien plants are gone.

I exited the game and I removed all script mods that I had in my game (Church Lot trait, Solar Panel, & Slow Dancing) along with the icemunmun Canning, black plate, and chicken coop mods and the problem persists.

I then switched over to the sim Remi went on a date with and she has the harvestable she collected in Del Sol Valley after she left the lot on the date and then returned home.

I sent her to Del Sol Valley, there was nothing to harvest (I think the club harvested everything left). So, I sent her to Remi's farm to harvest three different plants.

When she got home they all disappeared including the medicine she purchased.

After checking her fridge and seeing the 8 plantains there, these 5 may have been harvested while at her club meeting in Del Sol Valley. But that doesn't explain why the medicine disappeared, she purchased two and took one, so one was left. And why the plants harvested at Remi's farm in Newcrest are missing.

So, I sent her to another lot in Oasis Springs to go fishing:

When she got home, everything disappeared again:

I decided to test three additional saves:

1. An older save based on the Base Game for All Games file. This is an alien family that I haven't played. Just saved to play in the future. I sent the father sim to Del Sol Valley to harvest, then to Sulani, and then back home to Oasis Springs. This save loses items in the inventory on travel:

2. A newer save that was saved fresh from the game to Test features and issues in the game. Traveled to Del Sol Valley then home to Windenburg. From Windenburg to Newcrest to Sulani, then back home to Windenburg. Everything in the inventory made it back to the home lot:

3. My newest save created to build brand new lots. This is the save I used in a video and posted to the bug report post for harvestables before the December update 12/12. Before the update it experienced inventory loss. After the update, everything in the inventory made it back to the home lot: 

Conclusion: All my previous saved games where I have played a family or single Sim extensively seems like they are still losing items out of their inventory. Even though I do not play the Base Game for All Games save file, I save new lots and Sims I create to this file and do a Save As when I am ready to play a new Sim game.

I currently have five saved files that I am using to record sim stories that I post online. I really need this inventory issue resolved with these older saved files.

Thanks.

@troshalom I don't think this is the same as the harvestable bug as all collectibles get lost (no matter the quality). I also get lastexceptions when switching to another lot so not sure what is going on in your save.

I'll pass it on but I think you might be seeing this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Items-collected-in-personal-inventory-are/td-p/677...

[troshalom]

@crinrictNot sure what I need to do? Are you going to move this over to that post? Do I need to send save files? 😕 confused

BTW, I don't get any last exception errors

[crinrict]

@troshalom It's fine how you did it.

I think it's good to leave your thread separate as it's well documented here what you did.

I already forwarded everything, including your saves.

This harvestable/inventory issue is fixed for all new saves. All old saves this issue is not resolved. I was hoping that with the January 2020 patch this issue would be fixed, but it is not. 

I cannot play any of my saved games. Not only is it stressful, because I had to rebuild those games after losing everything July 2019. But, 5 of these saved games have been recorded and are part of a sim series. I would like to play the game and enjoy the EPs and GPs I spent quite a bit of money on without this bug.  I did not have this issue before September.

I absolutely love harvesting, fishing and collecting in the game. And that is the main thing that is broken. @SimQARobo please bubble this up so the engineers can fix this. 

Here is my other post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Not-sure-Inventories-Harvestables-are-fixed-after-patc... 

Here are two of my saves:

1. Master save file that I save as from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/131XVeWKkOEpISSjrhWDHXmvAav_b14Oi/view?usp=sharing 

2. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cnRq6RxNTKlkjmKIHDe9_lBfzSOXSyLh/view?usp=sharing 

I tested with and without mods.
