[OPEN] Objects no longer able to be placed on angled walls

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC

What is your current game version number? 163.133.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place Drapes of Riguer, from the Vampire collection, onto a single angled wall piece.
What happens when the bug occurs? The message "must place on a wall" appears.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see correct placement, such as prior to the Eco Living pre-release update.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Eco Living base game update.

I have attached two images. The first shows correct placement of curtains on angled walls as part of a manually build bay window. This was prior to the Eco Living base game update. The second image show a reconstruction, where the curtains are not unable to be placed on the angled wall. This occurs whether or not the adjacent curtain is removed.

    @groovyboa The move objects cheat doesn't bother me so much since I like the furniture layout to look a little less artificial than the default snap to grid allows. What bothers me most are all the other ways they broke their own game that haven't been completely fixed at all.

    Has this been fixed with the new patch? I did not read anything about it in the Notes and I cannot get into the game myself to test.

    Just tested—this is still an active issue. Also, beware of loading/visiting lots or apartments with diagonal walls. Objects that are considered to have invalid placements would be automatically removed without notice. I just had an empty community gym’s showering area because the plumbings were originally attached to diagonal walls.

    This has been the case for as long as I can remember, but the "bb.moveobjects" cheat allows the placement on diagonal walls.
