[FIXED] [GF] Can't use Get Famous stage props on empty lots

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? 1.48.90.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All the expansions, jungle adventures, vampires, spa day, outdoor retreat, bowling, romantic garden, perfect patio, spooky stuff, and backyard stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place the western set fronts and saloon on an empty lot . Place a bookshelf and pet bowls near the wall of the saloon set.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims wave their arms and give the complaint they can't find or get to the item even though there is more than enough room for them to get to it.
What do you expect to see? They should be able to fill pet bowls and get books from the bookshelf.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

I thought it would be fun to use the empty lot next to my Sims' house. I put the western stage props up, put in a bar and grill, bathroom, and a tent. Now they can have a little western type retreat! But this is where things got weird. I had put down a pet bowl against a wall and my Sim did that arm wave stating he couldn't find it. He also did the same arm wave with the bar when I suggested he make a drink. His husband also did the arm wave with the bookshelf I put in. However they were able to use the grill and tent. They also lit the firepit and sat on the tree stump benches, but refuse to roast anything. I moved the cat bowls to another side of the area and they were able to fill them.  I moved the book shelf and it's fine.  The building I made as a bathroom works, but they refuse to open the door where I had it so I had to move it. This is really weird because I've always put stuff on generic lots and everything was always able to be used perfectly fine. It's only in this one area with these things. When I move them they work fine, but where they currently are the boys can't do anything with them. Nothing is blocking the path to the area either.  I did move the bar away from the prop a little and it works, but the rest it didn't matter where I put them as long as it was away from the wall.  Any thoughts?

    THought they were in buydebug ? Are they in regular buy build ?

    EDIT: NVM. THought you had to use buydebug

  • Oh gosh no...all the fronts and props are in build mode.  I've even used a few props to put in my Sims' museum like the t-rex skull and crashed space ship 🙂   Does this better help finding a solution now that you realize that the western fronts and props were used legitimately?

    I have no influence on what gets fixed when. I just tagged it wrongly as cheat but I've forwarded this when you first reported it.

    It's now all in the hands of the devs when they want to fix but there would probably need to be more voices than just yours. I doubt it has high priority right now.
