Re: Sims Won't Use Countertop Front, Can Only Use Back

This is the Selvadoradian counter? At you can see, it works fine in mine.

The only thing I can think of is you have a mod that's changing the counter slots. You should try it again after removing ALL your mods and deleting the cache files.

(BTW, it's called a counter island)

I could try the cashe, though it's a new install and I can't see that being a problem. I'll get back to you on that one.

The bug occurred before I put in my mods. I was playing the game for about an hour before I decided to look for a solution online and got sidetracked by the fact I hadn't put my mods back in yet 

@ZanthiatheMysticWell, the thing with mods and the cache, is it's persistent. If you have mods in, and remove them, the mods information can sometimes remain in the cache. So, the mods will still cause problems even if the mods aren't installed, until you clear the cache.

So, if you remove mods, clear the cache.
If you add new mods, clear the cache.

Basically, any change you make, clear the cache.

So, if you had a mod that changes the counter slots, and remove the mods, it may still cause problems. until you clear the cache.

You'll want to try it again. Remove ALL MODS, clear the cache, and try it again.

If it STILL does it after, then your game's corrupted and you have much bigger problems.  Like completely removing everything and re-installing. Trying a completely new game also.

It happens with all the counters I've tried; 

Perfect Patio

Parenthood

Vampires

Base Game S Cargeaux Counter and Tall Order Vintage Counter

Here's the topdown view of the counter location. To me it looks like there's nothing wrong, nothing blocking the path. It wasn't placed with MoveObjects, nothing in the kitchen was aside from the cauldron. There was a time when the counter placement was working just fine (in the playtest) but come to actually play in the house, it's got issues xD 

I should probably explain;

I had issues with a laptop I purchased and eventually after the RMA was screwing me around, I asked for a refund. I re-installed The Sims 4 several times on that laptop before it had to be wiped again to be "fixed" over and over again in RMA.

This is a brand new PC I just bought with the refund money. The Sims 4 has never been installed on this PC before, and neither have the mods. It's a brand new install so there really shouldn't be much of a cashe to clear, but I just have.

I have no problem removing the mods to test (I did testing the other counters), I just want to make it clear that the issue presented itself on a new install and before any mods were ever put into place at all 

I did, I just said I did? I cleared the cashe and I removed the mods to test the other counters. It didn't work.

and no I've not moved anything over when installing, the cashe is as new as the install 

I'm testing other households now (without mods)

So I went back into my other household (same save) added the same Jungle Adventure countertop and it worked fine in that household. 

I then visited the Goth family in a new save and their countertops work fine also. 

I went back into the problem household and had a look where I noticed the floor was still charred from that magic-induced fire one of my spellcasters accidentally caused while trying to fix the sink, I got them to clean that area thinking that might be the problem, but it wasn't. 

It's clearly the location. Something happened between the playtest and now and it might still be the fire tbh
