Unable to place my own lot down; just shows move house icon with no house

I'm on the PS4 so I don't have mods or cc. The houses I want to place are my own creations. When I try to place them (on seperate lots in separate worlds, on correct lot sizes, under one of my save files) I just get the move house cursor icon with no house, and a check mark under it to confirm. I hit confirm, but nothing shows up. I've tried several troubleshoot suggestions when I googled this issue. Nothing has worked. I was able to place other houses on the lot, one that was from another player and another house that was my own creation from my library. Those worked. I cleared the ps4 cache and tried placing the houses in a different lot in a different world. Still won't work. 

I ended up saving each room of one of the houses that didn't work in my library, and I was able to place a room. What I'm wondering is if it's because the houses that I'm trying to place have the blacked out photos. I've been away from this game for a while, so I didn't know if the black photo issue meant the lot was completely corrupted since it wouldn't let me place the entire lot. I thought maybe I could get rid of the blacked photos and resave it in the library, but I've been getting the "Timed Out" error when trying to save lots. So for the most part I can't always upload to my own library lately. I even got the "Timed Out" error when trying to save each room, but luckily they showed up in the library. So the only saved version of my houses I want to place are the ones with blacked out photos. The only solution I haven't tried was deleting the whole game and reinstalling it, but I wanted to see if I should even bother if the real issue was the blacked out photos.
