Can't place rooms due to a fixed object in apartments

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.62.69.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can try placing apartments in mentioned apartments.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot place rooms in apartments that I could place in my previous save. It gives "can't place due to fixed object" error. This happened in multiple apartments VIII Landgraab, 702 Zen View, 888 Spire and also in one story apartments so it is not due to multiple levels.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see this error fixed so I can place my apartments.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I updated my game.

I cannot place rooms in apartments that I could place in my previous save. It gives "can't place due to fixed object" error. This happened in multiple apartments VIII Landgraab, 702 Zen View, 888 Spire and also in one story apartments so it is not due to multiple levels. Does anybody know how to fix this? I am currently trying to build a new save file and I cannot place the apartments I had in my previous save.

    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".
