Can't place sink on counters
I've had the game for three days, and last night I hit a problem where sinks won't place on counters anymore. I have just the base game, digital download, and I'm running it on Windows XP SP3 (I know, I'm a dinosaur). I've tried restarting the game and restarting my computer, but the problem persists.
When I try to place a sink on a counter, it stays red and on the ground, and tells me that it can only be placed on specific objects. This goes for all the counter-top sinks, not just one. I also tried grabbing an existing sink and placing it right back where it was, and it wouldn't do it.
Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time.
EDIT: No mods or custom content, no downloads at all added to my game.
@crinrict Yup. Brand new game, no old files introduced, both Sims 4 folders deleted in the uninstall. My best guess is that there are files elsewhere on the computer that the game uses and one of them went corrupt. The game crashed a couple of times on me, so it seems probable that a crash corrupted something.
It's funny, last night I went to play a new household, and I placed a sink! It worked! Just once. Then it stopped working, and I realized I can't place coffee pots and microwaves, too. I'm starting to think that it might be something memory-related. I had the task manager open to monitor CPU usage, and right when the game crashed last night, I noticed it was using 100% of the CPU. My game seemed fine, it wasn't slow or anything. My windows partition isn't very large (It seemed like an appropriate amount at the time, back in the day), and I'm already using almost 90% of it (I have only 4Gb RAM, maybe the game needs more than 10% open hard disk space to run right).
So I think this is my solution: I just upgraded my OSX version to 10.11, and now I'm going to download the game there. I noticed that the Sims 3 worked better on windows than it did on OSX, which is the only reason I was playing the Sims 4 on windows! If my bug somehow carries over across partitions, then everything I thought I knew about computers will be out the window.
