My cowplant can't be placed in my household inventory

Ok, so, I don't know for how long this is happening, but my cowplant can't be placed in my household inventory.  A few weeks ago I started putting cowplants in the house of my sims and waiting for t...

I still have to see if it's the same when it grows, but apparently it is not a consequence of the mods

@myrdsiexy Thank you for sharing that screenshot. When it's selected like that, if you press delete does it go to the Household Inventory... or what happens? When you tried without Mods do you also remove the cache file as follows? 

Spoiler
Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue

    @SheriGR I didn't remove the cache file, so I'll try that as soon as possible. And when I try pressing delete, the cowplant dissappears and I get the money I would have if I sold it

    @myrdsiexy I look forward to hearing the results with the Mods and cache all removed. Thank you!

    A few of other clarifications...

    • Is the plant in the screenshot on an owned lot (a Sim owns it currently)? You cannot move anything into Household Inventory if the house/lot is not owned by a Sim. Even if the lot is not owned, though, selecting it should show the sell option, which appears to be greyed out in your screenshot. So this seems suspicious to me.
    • If you select other plants (Plants you grow, not decorative ones) are you able to move these to Household inventory in the normal manner? (For expediency of testing, I also have other plants in the gallery if you want to use any of them to test, if you don't have any on your lot already.)
    • Does this happen on other lots, other game saves?

    @SheriGR my sims is the owner of the lot and everything (plants, animals ('cause of cottage living) and objects) can be placed in the household inventory normally. this bug is literally only happening with the cowplant.

    and for your comment a hour ago: I do have the Better Build Buy mod, but I removed with all the other files and removed the cache and localthumbcache files from my game files and the problem is still happening. I also tried repairing my game through origin and it keeps the same

    @myrdsiexy You could test in a vanilla game save if you want, just in case the game save/lot/etc. may have gotten bugged. In that case you may also want to download the room I mentioned that I added to the gallery with a Cowplant and a Cowplant seed, in case your Cowplant or the seed is possibly bugging out. Aside from that, I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas. ☹️

    @SheriGR believe me, I know you did your best and who knows? maybe with some playing I can forget about this and end up trying and having it solved
