If you delete that platform, can you then place a tree that doesn't disappear and a room?
Try a game repair too.
When I had tried to delete the platform while the bug was happening, the game didn't let me delete it (the video shows me doing this) and I attempted to draw a room after doing this in the same video and the room did not appear. If I were to try to save and quit my game the game would keep saving forever, so this is why I always force quit my game now as soon as the bug starts happening. Once I reopened the game and returned to build mode, the platform was gone because I had not saved my game before placing the platform, and I was able to place trees and anything else like normal, but every time I attempt to build a room, place a platform, place stairs, change a wall height or something similar there is a really good chance (not 100% chance) that the bug will be triggered again, so I've basically been saving my game every time I attempt to do something like this to not risk losing the progress I made.
I tried repairing my game to see if that fixed it before I ever reported the bug on this website, and unfortunately this did not work. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to try doing this again.

You could also try moving your Sims 4 folder to another location so a new one is created then load the game and place the lot and household from the gallery like I did? - vanillabean32 years agoNew Traveler
What you are describing here is exactly what I did when you told me to to see if the issue still happened with a clean Sims 4 folder. When I did this I was still having the same problem.

You’re not alone it seems and I have a very old memory of items not being able to be placed years ago but can’t confidently remember when or how I fixed it. I think I probably did a super repair or it somehow rectified itself. Try the super repair on your Mac and see if it helps https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612394#M815
