Cannot place items in build mode from the world map

Anyone having issues building from the world map? I can build in live mode with no problem. I can place a building from the world menu, but the second I enter build mode, I can't place anything. I play with mods and already tried removing them and deleting the localthumbcache to see if it still occurs, and it does. I own all the packs. I checked the bug reports and tried Google, but couldn't find anything. It's driving me insane!! I just got a new computer so I'm not sure what the issue may be.

    Hi. I apologize I'm getting back so late. I was trying to see if I could test other scenarios, and it wasn't happening again. When the newest update came out at the beginning of this month, I slowly started adding my updated mods back in. I'm wondering if it may have been the statue by Scumbumbo that's used for Pose Player. I had no idea it was updated, but I also removed Andrew's Pose Player, the statue, and deleted the localthumbcache after the update. I updated it as soon as I knew and was able to continue building from the world map.

    What would happen is when I'd copy something, and I couldn't place it at all.. Even after exiting the game and restarting.. I would select a new item to place down, and it wouldn't place. I would copy a room, and it wouldn't place, but while playing in live mode, I was able to build and place items with no issues at all.

    @ashley_salas101 Yeah, that does sound like a mod issue. There have been reports of objects not placing on vanilla games too but that was mostly on the residential rentals.

    So all solved for you now ?
