Unable to place items

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.102.190.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion, every game pack except Journey to Batuu and Werewolves, several stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use buy mode and try to place an item on a lot
What happens when the bug occurs? I will click on an item in buy mode, then when I go to place it, it simply disappears. It is making it impossible to add anything to my Sims' house.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to place items with no problem.
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? No

I will click on an item in buy mode, then when I go to place it, it simply disappears. If I manage to get it placed in less that one second, sometimes it will stay. It is making it impossible to add anything to my Sims' house.

  • @celeron818 Is it any item or specific ones (the DHD oven is broken) ?

    If it's any, try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
