Random objects able to be dragged

Since the other day, I have noticed that random objects such as showers, chess sets and sofas are able to be dragged. This happens randomly after a few minutes of playing. The only thing I can think of that might be triggering it is I noticed it began once after harvesting flowers. I turned off mods and it made no difference.

    I did not move the mods folder out, I just disabled custom content & script mods in the game setting menu & cleared the cache. Normally this works just fine when I'm trying to see if a problem is being caused by a mod but this time it didn't. I've learned my lesson & will always remove the mods folder entirely going forward. 

    Anyway, I'm reporting back to say that I think this is mod related. Andirz updated his Smart Core Script library because it was enabling some users to be able to drag all items in live mode & I had that installed. I'm still confused how it was able to affect my game even after I disabled custom content & script mods in the game settings and cleared my cache, but I have repaired my game & updated the Smart Core Script library & I am no longer able to drag things in live mode. So beccac14​ if you have Smart Core Script installed, that might be causing the issue for you as well.

    So the issue does not persist once I do a folder reset, but I'm confused as to why it would still happen with my old folder once I turn off mods & clear the cache. Could it be something in my settings file or maybe my save/tray folder?

    Did you turn off mods entirely or just script mods ? Usually it's best to move out the mods folder.

    Does it also work still if you just put your save back ?
