@sunstarsims I just went into my latest build. It's a tiny home with TONS of alt-placement, MOO and height adjustment used. I just spot-checked several things on the lot (ie - the plant on the picnic table and I think the basket also have to be placed using MOO and height adjustment) and everything I checked worked as normal. If you would like to test placing this lot in your game to see if the issue appears there I will include the link to the lot. You don't need to activate MOO to place the lot:

Can you please share one of the lots you are having the issue in from your game so I could test in my game? Please either share a browser link or give me the exact name of the lot along with your name in the gallery if it's different than it is here. Thanks!
Also, if you haven't already done so (sorry for the repetition, but if you need directions or someone is on Mac that sees this...) I would recommend running a Game Repair:
Spoiler
How to run a game repair:
• Open Origin, click ‘Game Library’ then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game
• If you’re on PC, make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base game first, then run through each of your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs).
• If you’re on Mac (@FinalBossNyuma, just in case, the repair in Origin will only repair your base game. Learn why and how to repair your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs) at this link: https://bluebellflora.com/2020/06/17/repairing-sims-4-packs-in-origin/

@SheriGR Did you try to repaint any walls in your build, or add/modify any rooms or walls? Is any of your MOO-placed decor in close proximity to a wall? In my experience, most (but not all) of my deleted items were nearby or up against a wall.
As with the countertop issue, did you try placing a cabinet + countertop sink combo, then moving said cabinet along with the sink out of its place to avoid automatic snapping, then raising things like soap dispensers, tootbrush holders, etc., up within the spot where the cabinet/sink will be to create a natural, homey, cluttered look, then replacing the cabinet/sink? When I do this, either the clutter or the sink itself will disappear with the addition of the red ‘cannot intersect with other objects’ box that OP mentions.

@FinalBossNyumaI've experienced the MOO-placed decor getting placed in household inventory, but not deleted, due to repainting/modifying walls when the game seems to think the MOO items are so close to walls they are "at one with the wall" because Sims.
But that's usually with items on snap points of furniture that I've placed with MOO. So your issue seems to be rather different.
Have not had the cabinet/sink glitch you mention, though. No "cannot intersect with other objects" there. Platforms can cause weird "cannot intersect with other objects" messages though.
Also, I have not had the issue with MOO not being able to alt-place items on floor freely without it taking stuff on other side of wall out or being finicky about other things near it.
That's a new one, and sounds like something I might expect without MOO. Especially, the OP mentioning counters not placing in corners if there's a column there.- @stjmk To clarify, my game attempts to send items to the household inventory due to seemingly conflicting hitboxes despite MOO being enabled. I use the word ‘delete’ since, for example, my latest WIP home that I’d just recently been working on is still unowned, so any items sent to inventory in this case are essentially lost.
I’ve not yet had OP’s exact issue concerning the inability to place straight cabinets in room corners (because I’ve not attempted it), but the mention of conflict with exterior columns sounds extremely familiar, & I happen to mention having issues with that in my first reply.
In all my building since the platform update, I’ve only utilized that feature once for a single 2x1 platform in the aforementioned home build; however, I’d been having issues with MOO before that & with my older builds that had plenty of MOO utilization but no platforms. My logic could very well be off, though, haha 😆 But I’d attributed my issue as being the same as OP’s due to the commonality of MOO appearing less effective than it had been in previous updates/builds, although the methods by which to spotlight its ineffectiveness can vary & don’t seem to trigger for all players.- @FinalBossNyuma If you move someone in, the "deleted" items that were moved to household inventory will show up in their household inventory. At least, that seems to be the way it works in my game.
You are probably right about your problem with MOO being similar to the OP's. It sounds way more extensive than the usual game glitch of: "Welp, you changed the wallpaper, all the decor on that fake upright piano is in household inventory now." Or "Remember those decorative external columns on the third floor under the frieze? Welp, they don't think they can fit there now that you changed the wallpaper inside."
The column/counter thing is something I've only encountered without MOO, which is why it sounds familiar to me. And it does sound like MOO is being glitchier in your game than it usually is.
Could try downloading the @SheriGR house, or upload yours?
