It is sloppily implemented by EA, in my opinion.

Happening to me too, no matter where I click I cant get it to popup.

This issue also extends to the Storybook Nursery Kit toddler blocks

@BlackBirdBaby I’ve noticed the nesting blocks have a very small target so I often miss on the first attempt and get the “can’t be used in this object” message because it thinks I’m clicking the floor. But I’ve never had it be impossible. Sometimes I need to zoom in to find the right spot to click.

For the longest time I haven't noticed that the Nesting Blocks have multiple swatches because I couldn't use the design tool on them. And it's still not fixed.

I've also noticed this issue with the mannequins from GTW. Wondering if that's by design?

Hello,
I've noticed that I can't select another swatch by using the design tool on nesting blocks and both doctor playsets.
I know it is a minor problem but annoying to me nonetheless. It is sloppily implemented by EA, in my opinion.

I'm having the same issue with the power tower bookcase from the Tiny Living SP, and this started after the Horse Ranch update ☹️

@Lilliys Is this the bookcase you're speaking of?
There's no problem with the swatches in my game.

Has this issue been fixed yet? I don't usually play with toddlers, so I only noticed this issue tonight.

But when I select the color in build mode, they place as white to begin with. After that I can't change the color because of whatever that glitch is.

@BlackBirdBaby They place white? I've not seen that before. Do you have a screenshot? What platform do you play on?
