@bergdorfsims Does this happen in one particular save game or just certain ones ? Can you post some pictures on where you're trying to place the rooms ?

Does it work if you bulldoze the apartment completely and place new rooms altogether ?

@crinrict I'm having this issue as well at 20 Culpepper. However, it is only certain apartments I've downloaded. For example, I have 3 different apartments by 3 different creators downloaded to my library. I can only place 1 of those apartments, the other 2 I get the "can't place due to fixed object" error. I also get this error occasionally with the other Culpepper apartment with the balcony.

Another strange thing I notice is the game will let me place the "error" lot if it is off, or not lined up with the exact boundary of the apartment lot. But this is unacceptable because everything is shifted over or down an entire row.

My game is an existing save I've had for a while.

I always turn on bb.moveobjects on - doesn't help.

    @PixelFox14 I did a test and placed all of my Library rooms for the 20 Culpepper House apartments in a new game and I did not have any errors. Were there any notes or comments in those Gallery downloads about other players having any issues placing them? Is it possible that maybe they used a mod like T.O.O.L. when creating them? Can you list one of the Gallery downloads that is giving you trouble & maybe someone on here can test it in their game? I'm willing to give it a try.

      Hey - I know this thread is sort of old but I'm having this issue where it won't let me place the apartment down where it lines up with the full size. This is the download I want to place - https://harrie-cc.tumblr.com/post/611409710318518272/luxury-studio-living-1-bedroom-1-bathroom-910

      It's the Medina studios apartment (I downloaded a mod where I can delete the 'needs TLC' traits and removed the drain, pipes and the mice holes. I used bb.move objects and it won't let me place it perfectly against the walls of the apartment. If anyone could help that would be amazing...

        I don't know if you found a solution to this or not but I was having the same issue with 888 Spire apt.  I was able to resolve it by deleting everything (quickest to delete entire rooms) leaving nothing but bare bones, then I built the floors back and retyped the move objects cheat on.  I already had the cheat enabled but retyping worked and I was able to place the full apt "room".
