Re: Placement of cabinets in household inventory
@oonanor There's a bug where everything lands in the household inventory on loading the game. Is that what you're seeing ?

- @crinrict No. I meant that when i put all my items in household inventory and i move my household to another house and i start placing the cabinets or counters from the inventory then the placement of them is set to the default (lets say i used to have my cabinets and counters placement set as corner pieces then bow they are just regular ones when im taking them out of the inventory)
@oonanor I am not sure I'm understanding your issue correctly, so please forgive me if I am incorrect in my thoughts here...
I wonder if there is a possibility that someone else made the kitchen in the first place (gallery) and/or MOO or alt-placement was used to tweak the cabinet/countertop placement to make the formation(s)? I do this when I build at times, and sometimes 'creatively' in a way that would be confusing if someone tried to recreate it without the use of MOO/alt-placement, and sometimes some additional tricks.
Another factor can be if diagonal room/s or wall/s were used, as this will effect cabinet and counter placement, sometimes significantly so.
Note: If you're new to using MOO/alt-placement and want to try it out, I highly recommend that you live-test (with a Sim) the kitchen thoroughly afterward to make sure all countertops and appliances are fully useable to the Sims.
If this isn't the issue, can you either share a screenshot/s of the countertop formation you are reproducing, and better yet maybe also what it looks like when you're having issues placing the cabinets/countertops?Edit: @oonanor ...I was chatting with a friend (thanks, @CGrant56) and we were wondering if perhaps the issue may be covered by adding some details about how countertops/islands/cupboards work. It takes some testing and is a learning process to get used to building with them in the game. This link to a Carl's Guide on this process may be useful: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/tutorials/building/counters-islands.php
With that in mind, it may be useful to state that when you place countertops/islands/cupboards in your home they 'snap together'/sort-of 'merge' in that home, but when you remove any of those countertops/islands/cupboards pieces to your household inventory – either by moving pieces there individually or by moving the household and their inventory to a new lot – the countertops/islands/cupboards will separate into their original separate pieces in your household inventory and will not stay 'snapped' to each other. You will then have to reassemble them to place them back into the lot or into your new lot after moving.
