Can't delete/sell objects

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except University and Tiny Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Select 'restaurant' for a lot. Place a dining boot, try to add a table. Try to delete the booth and table afterwards.
What happens when the bug occurs? First 9/10 times the booth does not let me clip the table to it. I tried rotating it on every side. Somehow I got it to work after 10 tries. Then I tried to delete the booth and table, but the game won't let me delete or sell these items. Clicking 'undo' to erase buying the table does nothing as well.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to clip the table at first try and then also freely delete, sell or undo any item I have placed on the lot.
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. I patched my game to version 1.61.15.1020 after installing Realm of Magic.

After this Patch the game does not let me delete walls or objects at times. This restaurant related bug is just a expansion of that.

    Could you post a screenshot of the layout and specific objects you're using, or upload the lot to the gallery and I'll download to test? I managed to place a table with opposite benches but couldn't with the corner sections:

    I could with MOO enabled and the small table snapped to the corner bench:

    Do you have MOO enabled? I wonder if that may cause the glitch although I wasn't able to reproduce your issue and could happily delete the objects.

  • @Bluebellflora Thanks for the super fast respond! I have been testing some stuff out and I took all the mods out which I thought I had done before, but I was mistaken. After that, I have not had the deleting/selling issue, so that could be related to that.

    For the 'table not snapping' issue. I am using MOO to get it work, but even then it takes me a few trials to actually connect them together. Not sure why it does not happen in one time and why we need MOO for that. Is that the common way to do it and how it was intended by developers? If so, it's a bit odd.

    So, here I try to connect the 1x1 tables to the corner booth. After a few trials of bringing the table to the booth as well as bringing the booth to the table, the items still don't seem to connect. After a few trials (like 5 now), they suddenly connect.

    I tried the same for the other two tables across each other and it again takes me around 5 times before they snap together. It doesn't matter if I try to do the booths separately, facing each other or side to side (as shown in the first picture).

    It does not bother me too much as it works eventually, but there are still some questionable things.

    Objects that are in groups can't be deleted separately, you must ungroup them.  To group chairs to table put table down first once table is down chairs and benches will snap to table this allows you to grab the table to move everything.  To ungroup objects remove chairs and benches from table.  Now everything can be deleted.

    @FurSimsOriginal As you solved the not being able to delete issue, I think the rest is by design.

    It worked that way when DO came out.

    I think it fits Nr. 12 on this list: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/ARCHIVED-DO-Restaurant-Problems/m-p/5410235 which is pretty much this

    Make sure you use the right boot for the right table. The long booth fits any 2x1 table (except the bar height table) and the corner booth fits any 1x1 table. It's also not possible to place two booth opposite of each other with one table.
