[OPEN] Fish from buydebug mode can’t be selected

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? 1.55.108.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Parenthood, Vampires, and Spooky Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Launch Sims 4; 2. Choose a household; 3. Turn on testingcheats and bb.showhiddenobjects; 4. Go into build/buy mode; 5. Search for a fish (in my case, Angelfish); 6. Select fish and place in home or on Sims lot; 7. Go back to play mode and attempt to move and/or drag fish to sim’s personal inventory.
What happens when the bug occurs? I attempt to find a fish (Angelfish as an ingredient) in build/buy mode and place it in household, go back to play mode and cannot move fish to place it in my sim’s inventory.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to move the fish in play mode to be able to place it in my sim’s inventory.
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’m not sure why I cannot move the fish in play mode to my sim’s inventory. I found some spotted heart frogs and they were able to be moved and placed in my sim’s inventory during my last game. I don’t think it’s related to all hidden objects, just some.

Sorry, I don't have a photo.

    Certainly not the worst issue about build/buy but it would be handy to be able to choose decorative fish for a community lot build by just finding them in debug and placing in aquariums. My restaurant owners don't have all day to catch koi fish for the decorational fish tank. :D

    There's no such thing.....   Not trying to be rude but I've spent the time & did exactly what you've described and there's no JANMARBROWN Lol  Wondering if you're trolling :P

    you can...but the variety is limited.  The hard to find fish are in debug..but can't be interacted with if you lay them on ground/floor.  Got to be a work around..but I dont know it

    Has anybody tried the Smog Vacuum trick with fish?  Maybe if you buy a selling table and then set the fish on it, and then click "clear table" it'll stick the fish in your inventory where you could then interact with them normally. Not sure if it'll work, might test it out myself if I think about it.
