Can't Edit or place objecys in build mode in the Realm of magic lot

Logged in to play the sims 4. I have all the Ep, Kits, GP, SP,. I have absolutely no mods installed. I have a brand new fresh save file. I logged into the game, went to magic realm. Typed in the following cheats for PC testing cheats on

bb.enablefree build

bb.moveobjects on.

Upon trying to extend walls and move windows, shrubs, the game wouldn't allow me to use my mouse to confirm to place objects. I could go back and select objects to move them but could not place them in new location on lot. The game wouldn't allow me to use my mouse to place objects such as windows, shrubs, ect in a new place. The would go back to their original location. When attempting to exit game, the plumbing woukd just spin without actually leaving the game. I'd have to hit alt + escp to exit out of game completely and even then, it would still be running in the background. Id have to reboot my entire computer to exit out of game. 

My computer works find and fast when not in game but when game is open, it bugs out. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, still does it when in build mode in the hidden world of realm of magic.

    @PaganGamer90The world is static and not to be edited, like other "common" areas (San Myshuno festival areas) [Edited: my answer is incorrect.]

    To my recollection it's always been possible to replace the Magic Realm lot itself (not the world, just that lot), but it's been a while since I checked. (Though whether the lot is editable or not, it's definitely not supposed to "softlock" like that).

    @PaganGamer90 

    When the game fails to exit, you may be able to use a task manager program to force the application to close, rather than having to restart your entire device. While you have no mods installed now, have you ever used any mods at all? Some glitches caused by mods aren't automatically resolved by removing them. Is this issue only occurring with the Magic Realm lot?


    Hi! I'm SimmerStar4 (they/them). I'm not an expert on game issues, so don't take me as one! I'm just a Sims player who wants to try and help fellow players, and who finds game bugs and issues interesting.

    @SimmerStar4I'll go in and test now... brb

    Update: With free build enabled I was able to edit the lot and returning to live mode proceeded without a glitch. Ya' learn something new every day! Thanks.
