[WORKAROUND] Can't place some objects next to platforms

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? 1.68.154.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu GP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Place a platform that is 2 or more levels high. 2. Place another object like a table, counter, or fridge, next to the platform
What happens when the bug occurs? The selected buy object turns red and says "Can't intersect obstructing objects".
What do you expect to see? I should be able to place objects next to the platform, especially if the platform is taller than the object I'm placing.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. November 10th patch was installed.

I've noticed that some objects can be placed next to the platforms (beds, couches, floor lamps) but not other items (tables, counters). The issue starts once you raise the platform after placing the initial squares.

    This seems to be a bug. You can place items next to platforms if you enable MOO and they are useable, simple workaround.


    Yeah, that's a good but slightly problematic workaround if I'm not careful. In any case, that's all I can do for now.

    Not necessarily, it just means that the OP marked it as solved for them as it is a viable workaround. Items are useable when placed with MOO in this instance.

    Going to merge this into that bug report 🙂
  • I can’t place a staircase next to a platform, without the top not showing on the second floor.

    I have to move the staircase at least one tile from the platform.

    I tried creating a second wall, one tile away from the platform, and placing the staircase next to it, but it caused the same problem.

    Game version: 1.82.99.1030
