Product: The Sims 4Platform:MacWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1230What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion pack except Eco lifestyle, Island living ,Country living. I have parenthood,dine out, laundry day, bowling night, movie hangout, and cool kitchen .Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Cook a cake and try to drag itWhat happens when the bug occurs? I cook a cake , the sims places it down on the counter and when I click to drag it disappears as soon as I hold click.What do you expect to see? For my cakes to not disappear when I try and r drag itHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. Cottage living I don’t have a picture or video but just back a cake and when the sims put it down try pick it up and drag it

THIS is happening to me! Exact same. And no, it DOES NOT appear in my Sims inventory. It just completely disappears. I had to use cheats to age up my sim at her brithday party, which was lame. I took out all my mods and tried again, same thing. I'm completely up-to-date and and have everything except Batuu, Paranormal, and a few kits.

Yes. I've done both. Actually, I always delete my thumbnail at the end of every gameplay. But I have also repaired my game twice since the new update and also created a Folder Refresh due to an annoying bug with an old save.

Can confirm. This is happening in my game too. Same exact thing. I can't get them to add birthday candles because if I try to drag it, it disappears. If i have them put it in their inventory and then I try to drag it, it just snaps right back into the inventory. If I try to move it in build mode, it disappears. This is definitely a bug.Edit: It doesn't seem to happen with the hamburger cake. I haven't tried a white cake yet, but it happens consistently with the chocolate.

Still having this issue. The cake disappears when I try to move it and often goes into the household inventory with debug cheats on, but when I take it out of the household inventory it turns into an empty plate. It's impossible to have a functioning birthday party when I can't move the cake to open places.

Check their inventory, it's in there.

@DrippySojo45 Gave this a quick test and it works fine for me.

Could you try deleting the localthumcache file + repairing the game.

Could anyone experiencing this issue possibly share a save file where you've seen it occur? You can DM me the link to your save, thanks so much!
