Cant place items from build mode

I recently bought home chef Hussle and movie hang out stuff. My game was working perfectly fine before. Now I can't place items from build mode at al. Wallpaper, flooring, furniture, nothing. My game is up to date. I have repaired my game multiple times, taken my mods folder out and repaired it. New save files and it still won't place items. What do i do?

    (If you have gallery items there have been issues with some of those also, and that's referenced above )

    Also, have you done all this?<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    Unfortunately the best answer is to try these steps ( and ensure ALL MODS are current and functioning for latest version of game ... December hit a lot of mods hard )
    Remove mods / saves / trays to desktop
    Delete thumbcache
    Open EA APP and repair
    Start new clean game and create a sim and move in.
    Save.
    Exit
    Add mods back 50 / 50 to mods folder in MY PC \ DOCUMENTS location. ( just in case 50 / 50 means... add and check they are functioning.. add more and check for function.. etc etc. )
    Then trays
    Last add saves after checking mods are working

    hope this helps!

  • Hi  @Drizzy2408 

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
  • I tried both methods and I still have the issue. Thank you for the help. 

  • Yes it will start to show up. I found three of my saves don't have the glitch but almost all my other ones have it. The new one had it too. I'm not sure what's wrong or if it repaired wrong. I'm gonna try again.
