Have you been one of the unfortunate sims to have a rare item missing, and received a Missing Objects message?

The Maxis policy is that if we can't prove it, we won't replace it. A rare is an object that is not available from the catalogue. We log deletions and trades of rares. Unfortunately, because pets are available from the catalogue, we do not have logs of them missing. Because of its immense size, we cannot log every single object in the game. Our servers would combust! /php-bin/shared/images/icons/frown.gif

If your rare is suddenly missing, please go to the Bug Boards. Post in the current version forum with your sim's name, the city it happened in, the object lost, the time it was lost, and any other information you have. Remember, the more information you give us, the chances of us finding that information from our end, and returning your lost object, is greater.

Thank you, everybody!

oh yeah they read the bug boards....scoufs

If a rare pet isnt rare enough for you to log..then what IS?

Guest

She explained very clearly. Rare pets cannot be logged because they are for sale in the catalog unlike the other rares such as mystic trees, pet statues, cannons, gnomes, and I would think all crafted items because they are not for sale in the catalog.

<font color=purple>Pet statues, simmies, cannons, gnomes and possibly crafted items.

Did you even READ her post?

2 pet statues disappeared off of 2 different sims. One from inventory and the other was on the lot. Only in IH. I still have the statues in the other cities. This sucks because these were the ones given to me, not bought =o(

I reported the loss of my Mystic Tree and have little hope of ever seeing it again. Property limit bugs have caused numerous items to disappear over the past two years. This is the first time, I've lost anything that I could not replace.

I feel it is important that I share this information for all to read. If you attempt to place objects on your lot when you have reached the property limit, you will not always get a warning that the lot is full. The longer your property has been online the more unstable it becomes. I took my tree out of inventory to place on the lot and poofed into thin air before my very eyes. I'm sure there was a way to check the data on the house but the time it takes to check that data was apparently not on the top priority list. Now that two days have past since reporting the incident, I'm sure the data has probably been lost.

And with it, My tree.

My tiger /php-bin/shared/images/icons/frown.gif I reported to bug boards a while ago. And sigh, someone offered me a tiger in another city but I couldn't find someone to transfer it for me /php-bin/shared/images/icons/frown.gif
It seems though that the missing thing isn't restricted to rares. Objects go missing on a regular basis...wish they could fix this..

Thanks for all you're doing Sahara /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif

My Cannon was the very first to be awarded in TSO. this morning is poofed. can we PLEASE get an update as to WHAT if anything is being done about this?

I HAVE been to the bug board HOWEVER there is NO place to report a missing rare. there is a place for having never recieved a tree and for never recieving statues. where do I post the cannon?

points to above post...
ok now today I just logged in jp and it shows I now have 2 cannons in my inventory but I can't take them out. I can trade them to Bo, but HE can't take them out out either. are they multiplying in there?

Thanks for the info! I think it would be a really good idea if you start a new thread on the bug boards about Missing Objects. Then you can type in that information under the new thread. It will make so many more people more happy if you do that cause they can include the extra information and hopefully more people will get their pet back.

::sigh::: today my 2 bouncy balls and my crafted computer were called to join my cannon in that BIG rare item pile in the endless Maxis sky. while I was at the bug boards i couldn't help noticing that there's alot of reports of rare pets and crafted things poofing from inventories.

PLEASE Limit your trading untill this gets fixed!

UPDATE : It is March 8 and everything is still missing and there is no word on when or if it has been looked into .

:::knocks on moniter:: I don't think there is anybody in there.

Hey, I bought a Mystic Tree quite a while ago. I had it until I left for Hawaii for a vacation during March. When I got back the tree was gone. It wasn't anywhere on the property and it wasn't in my inventory. I'm not exactly sure when it went missing becuase it would have anywhere within March 10th, 2005 - March 16th, 2005.

If you could help that would be great,

Well here it is a new version . I have just been to the bug boards because I STILL have yet to get word from maxis on my missing cannon and crafted things and I know from experiance that with each new version the OLD versions Bugs are wiped off the bug board, fixed or not. but generally NOT.

Its nice they give us a place to list bugs, but better still if they actually DO something about them.

PLEASE READ THE BUG BOARDS AND FIX THE BUGS WE REPORT !
I am pretty convinced that no one from Maxis reads these boards

Question...

If we have lost an item (mystic tree in my case), filed another bug report, and new version(s) is/are released, do we file a bug report under the new version if we haven't recovered the item?

Thanks in advance.

I log each and every single case of missing objects. Also, I have access to the past bug reports that are hidden from public view (once a new version is published), and log all of those reports too.

Thank you! Didn't want to clutter up the bug boards, but wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing by assuming the report was logged and that it required no more action on my part

ok, I am having this "tree" problem of sorts of you will
my mystic tree is stuck in my sims tory

I try to put it out on the lot it either
a- goes back into the holding area on my sims account
b- freezes the lot and my sim and makes me error 23
c- freezes the game for a time and then goes back into its holding area

This problem for me, has been happening since March and I thought I would just live with it for a time. It really wasnt a big deal for me.

But now it is.

Problem 2-
two weeks ago, my simpage where i can write my bio and other things only allows me 45 CHARS, then it stops.
No i check there isnt any letters under or on top its just now allowing anymore

I posted on the OLD Bug boards didnt ever see this before

I moved from property in Blazing Falls to get my things in inventory a few days ago and today I realized that my gnome is no longer with me.


Never mind... My rememberer is broken but my forgetter is getting better. Luis M had custody of the gnome when he stopped playing for a while.

well I don't know if i can get it back or not but back around lets say February just after the hoopla about mystic trees I finally got mine put it in the ground let it stay there for a bit then created another sim. Transferred the tree from one sim to another and had the new sim put it in the ground what happened was this

sim 2 puts tree in ground. tree flashes then pops back in inventory. sim 2 puts tree back out of inventory and back in ground tree flashes again and pops back in inventory sim 2 take tree out of inventory a third time. puits tree back in ground tree flashes and NO MORE MYSTIC TREE....

No message no nonthing this happened to both of my trees in Fancy Field. I had three accounts at the time and traded them from one sim to another via the inventory now what I need to know is what happened to my tree and please look through my REAL NAME ACCOUNT and find it and put it back in my inventory ( strange thats what happened t omy simmies now that i can remember it ) some two years ago back in february

gotta keep better track of OUR OBJECTS

What happened to the place on the bug boards we reported these at? Why have we not received our things back, or at least a sorry you're screwed letter? Needless to say, still no tree or word about it

There's two ongoing threads on the bug boards:
- Never Received A Mystic Tree ; and
- Never Received a Pet Statue

For missing objects, I assume you post it in the current version notes that are appropriate for your city (all cities except Betaville or Betaville).

I can appreciate your frustration, I lost a mystic tree too (disappearance by poofing). I trust that what I reported was entered into the bug tracker, but I can also understand that the source of the bug may not have been determined.

<font color=9A32CD>I had to close all but one of my accounts so I gave my trees to Niki the main and never unpaid sim since we had to start paying after beta. I had 2 of them on the lot all along as well as Seans 2 trees. Our house is Seashore Estates in IH. Then I was gone for a couple months and the 3rd tree sat in Niki's inventory til yesterday. I opened the tree and she does the little dance and waters the tree but no tree ever appeared. I reset the lot and no tree. I reported it on the bug boards, but I see I may never recover it. I'm most distressed!! Please help me Sahara *cries*
