Game won't place objects in build mode

@Bluebellflora Got this fixed so I am sharing it with others. After a bit of sniffing around I found out the solution to this problem. So, removing your sims to launch another fresh game wasn't the problem because the fresh copy of the game was still acting up so this lead me to believe that the original files must be corrupted somehow. Someone asked me to repair the game with a fresh copy first (through the origin dashboard) to see if it worked and it did. Then I tested it on my original sims folder and selected repair game and it worked again. Tested it on the install on my spouses machine it worked as well as 3 of my other friends who were all having similar issues. Problem solved. If anyone is having these issues with certain objects not displaying - repair the game through the Origin console by selecting the game 'Sims 4' then clicking the little 'cog' icon, and select repair. This will fix any corrupted files without loosing any of the progress you made in the game.
