I'm currently unable to slot build/buy to counters

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue. I was playing in my household and noticed that I wasn't able to add a coffee maker to the kitchen counter top. Took out all my mods and then started having a weird lag error I've never experienced before where the loading screen is still on with the Sim UI. So I tried to repair the game through EA app but it's still not working. Any and all assistance is appreciated!
