[DU] Cannot interact with anything after attempting to interact with mini-fridge

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.70.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover University, Seasons, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Outdoor Retreat, Tiny Living, Holiday Celebration
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? - Be on a house lot (I was in Willow Creek) - Purchase a mini-fridge, place on lot - Place an object on top of the mini-fridge. I placed two different fossils, both of which caused this bug, but I'm not sure if other items will cause this to happen. - Try to interact with the fridge.
What happens when the bug occurs? - I cannot interact with the fridge, and then I realize I can't interact with anything. I can't even switch to other sims by clicking on their icons or pressing space. - Sometimes, if I go into build mode after this happens, sims still move around as if I'm playing in live mode. Additionally, snow falls and trees are moving, when this isn't supposed to happen in build mode. When this happens, I am unable to sell anything; the item disappears but no money is earned and the item reappears when I switch back to live mode.
What do you expect to see? - To be able to interact with the fridge and resume playing the game normally. - To go into build mode and not have sims move around or environmental objects (snow, tress, etc) to also be moving around.
Have 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? No

FYI, this issue is fixed for me, but I am still reporting it as I have no idea what the cause of this bug is and troubleshooting it took a while. Basically, I would have to go into build mode, pray that it won't act like it's still in live mode, then move/sell the object on top of the fridge. After doing so, I am able to interact with the fridge like normal and am still able to interact with everything else in the game.
