Re: Can't add chairs - Don't fit slot size

I have this same issue. Basically any item that needs to be slotted for function, won't. Sinks won't slot to counters, chairs won't slot to desks or tables, computers won't slot to desks, etc. Item that just sit on surfaces for decoration or like radios, will slot just fine. It isn't just in build mode, when I try to download a room or a house from the gallery, items that would cause the slot error are removed, this also happens when my sims try to visit prebuilt lots, like libraries. My sim will visit the library and when it loads all the chairs slotted to tables and all the computers have been removed, so when I go back to the map the library lot is marked incomplete. I updated all my mods, and when that didn't work, I removed all my mods, that didn't work either. I even turned off custom content and scripts, and the issue persists. I haven't tried to open my saves, I noticed the problem when I began playing on a new game after not playing for like a week. I suspect the game updated and now there's the bug.

    @fuanonemus  That is definitely strange that the base game lots are impacted by this issue. 

    Here is what I recommend.
    Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

    Rename The Sims 4 to The Sims 4.old to preserve your saves, tray, screenshots and mods folders/files.
    Run Repair from Origin as described above.

    Start the game without adding anything back as a test.
    The game will automatically create fresh versions of all the folders/files.
    If the game works correctly you will need to test your mods /custom content (CC) to see which they are causing the problem.
    When adding/testing/deleting mods and/or cc it is important to delete the localthumbcache.package and any other cache files.
    Using the 50/50 method is suggested to speed up the process.

    Instructions are in the link below:

    @fuanonemus @K_is_for_Khaos - I suggest you reset your games following the instructions here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/

    If the error is fixed in a fresh game, be sure to put back your mods & cc one at a time, testing the game after each one is added.  If you have a lot of mods or cc, you can narrow it down with the 50/50 method. You will need to contact the creator if there are any issues. 

    Let us know if this fixes your problem. 

    Edit: seems @EuphorialQueen & I were answering at the same time. Great minds think alike 🙂
