"There's no available counter space"

Hello
Try removing everything off all the counters and see if that helps. Enlarging the kitchen may also help. Remove any lighting that may be over the counters.
If the issues remain, it may sound odd, but remove any counters that may be in a nearby bathroom, and only have a free standing sink. Sometimes sims want to use counters in bathrooms instead of kitchen counters.

I hope that it helps with your issue.

Try having your sims move to another home. Then have them move back to the original home and see if the issues remain.

But if my sims have nothing but CC on and I remove the CC won't it break the game or something?

Also rose, how do I just save the kitchen?

To save a room, go to build mode, click on a wall of the room, and the room will be outlined. Then press the little folder button on the bar on the top of the screen and there is an option to save the room

First though, try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files

Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem. Put one item or batch in , test the game , take it out. Then test another one, to find the cause of the issue.

The cc will only be removed whilst you are testing the game. Don’t save the game when testing. The cc will return after testing when you put your mods/cc back into the game if you make sure you don’t save the game whilst testing.

Hi
Hopefully you already solved it, just for others maybe looking.
I had the same issue, found out it was a mod called clutter your counters that was the culprit, so if you have that one it might work for you. ?

I don't have anything on the counters, I'll try enlarging the kitchen.

Also those are the only counters the bathroom sink is already free standing

I tried enlarging the kitchen, and I replaced the fridge. Same issue

So I finally got around to trying this.. it didn't work :(

Try saving the kitchen room to your library. Then delete the kitchen. Then place the saved kitchen room back into your home and see if the issue remains.
