Hello.

I heard this is by design. It's similar behavior to placing a chair or bed in front of the stove. Although you can place the object there, it will block the stove. The long pot rack is intended for tall- walled rooms.

There is a shorter pot rack that can be used for shorter-walled rooms.

And regarding the Maxis-created styled rooms with these racks, I don't think any of those racks block the stove in those rooms.

Have also clicked 'me too'. This has happened several times to me before I found out the pan rack is involved. This is more than simmers putting the overhead racks in bad places. There are 5 kitchens in the styled rooms that have some form of these racks. 5 kitchens, made and supplied by EA/Maxis, just begging for a problem. I have had several such fails as described in these kitchens loaded straight into the house, no tinkering by me whatever.

It is high time our august devs/bug fixers woke up, smelled the coffee, and dealt with their lousy and sloppy coding! These components should work properly right out of the box.

@SimQARobo Makes me sad cause it's not self-explanatory why it's not working. I think it would be better if we weren't to place it there but I guess that would be feedback :D

  Placing extractor hoods and pot racks over the stove works in my game now. Previously I couldn't place short racks over the stove in rooms with normal height with the stove still being usable.
  I'm not sure when this was fixed for me, I didn't try it out again before today. I'm on Windows, all packs installed, now with none deactivated. Never used mods or CC. Same savegame as when I first added to this thread.
