Re: Can't grab & drag plates or food dishes

I can usually drag plates of food made by NPCs from a counter to the table, etc, I just can't put them in, or pull them out, of the fridge, I have to have a sim do it.  I've not had a chance to test it with something newly created by a NPC as I've not played with a save that had any service people, however, I did see whether I could drag some food already made by a nanny out of the fridge and it still doesn't work, though I did think this was by design. 

I have to find my family with 3 toddlers (it got overwritten by another save so I need to go through my back ups to find it, which is a different issue that I've had since EA changed how you retrieve saves) for me to be able to test it with fresh food made by a NPC (in my case, usually a nanny), but once I find it I can further test if you'd like. (FYI, my game is fully updated, I have all the packs, on Windows 10, even did a factory reset on my game due to other issues, before that repaired after each update & adding C&D as well as regularly clear my game cache, and no mods at the moment as I took my only mod, MCC, out before the Nov 7 patch).

Thanks and regards,
Jennifer

    If you could test under what circumstances this still happens, it would be great.

    This is an old thread, but I am reviving it for a possible fix, as others may still be looking for a solution here as I was.

    After trying a number of things, I was able to fix this is a fairly easy way. I could not drag plates any longer for some reason, like the OP. What eventually worked was simply saving (to be safe) and then going to Manage Worlds. Once there, I evicted the household. After I evicted them, I went right to Manage Households and put them back in the house. When I started playing again, I could drag plates again! And better still, everyone was still doing the things they were doing before the eviction, which I did not expect. So... that worked really well for me and it was easy!

    I hope that helps someone. :D

    Even if it works having to dismantle a full home and place it back again just to get rid of one plate seems TRULY exesive.
    At this point such bug should be fixed after so long.
