[NOT BUG] Can't Place Fences after latest patch

I was playing the game for most of yesterday and today.  I was able to place fences in the Build/buy mode yesterday but I hadn't tried it earlier today so I don't know for sure if I was able to.  However, I exited the game and when I logged in again there was an update for me to do.  I did it and now I can't place fences.   I get the message "Must be applied to a room" so I am unable to place it.

Help please!

    here's to a OH DUH moment it seems the game auto goes to 🏀 and i didn't notice it  until i was in build mode just five mins ago see my image to see 🏀

    make sure when in game selecting your fence that the (see image) 1 or 2 is selected if it is on 3 you'll run into the must be applied to a room

    1 place fence by drawing

    2 place fence by encolsure

    3 change fence thats where you'll get the must be applied to a room message as the fence needs to be there already to replace it so for example if you placed a wooden fence but now want a rope fence you apply the rope fence over the wooden fence to replace it

    edit typo

    @rumbutter: That fixed my problem! I'm finding these "easier" building tools to be more confusing and far less intuitive than in Sims 3.

  • @rumbutter I Had A Similar Problem, Only The Game Acted Like It Was Placed. But Nothing Was Placed. If I Did Undo, It Destroyed The Nonexistent Fence.
