@sunstarsims I’m also experiencing this on console since a recent update & was wondering if my game was glitching or if, due to the new window placement feature &/or the inclusion of platforms, bb.moveobjects had been intentionally nerfed. I’d previously had no issues whatsoever with moving a counter(s) out of the way to avoid the placement snapping, then raising my desired objects to counter-level & having them in very close proximity to each other - such as putting a soap dispenser or toothbrush from the showliveedit menu right next to or directly onto where a sink would be - & then replacing the counter(s). I can no longer do that now.
Not to mention that also, just exactly as you’ve said & countertops aside, any items placed with bb.moveobjects in general are now extremely sensitive to other nearby objects as well as lot editing. I’ve had things such as exterior columns & flower boxes outside a home disappear & unable to be replaced due to mundane objects that were on the opposite side of the wall, inside of the home. So now I must be careful to determine build layouts & wall paints before furnishing & cluttering, because if I do the latter first with bb.moveobjects enabled & then decide to make any changes to the former afterward, a quarter to half of all my thoughtfully placed furnishings & decorations will disappear.
This is EXACTLY what happens to me, too! You've just described it in even more detail than I did. And it definitely did used to work to put items on a shelf/surface as close as you wanted by just raising the item up. But now they're just so sensitive to nearby items, it is so weird. bb.moveobjects used to make it possible to literally place any item anywhere, even if it made no sense to place it there! 😃
And you're right, it has appeared like they've intentionally made bb.moveobjects pretty useless, but I don't know why they would do that?
It has been happening since the last update too, interesting to know it's not just on PC. Very strange!
