Debug items invisible when placed

Like the title says, some debug items are invisible when being placed. I can see them in the catalog just fine, but when selecting to place, they are invisible. Sims can walk through the 'placed' item, so it's like it wasn't placed at all. I've noticed this with a couple of Cottage Living items, some plants and mushroom debug items from that pack. 

I do believe I have tried absolutely everything at this point to no avail. I've searched forums high and low. Removed my mods and cc and did a clean install. Right now my game is not modded/does not have any cc and the issue still persists. It's not the end of the world, but if there's a fix, I'd love to know. Thanks in advance.

    SimoneVTS​  Do the items show up after you save/quit/reload the game?

    If not, then please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    SimoneVTS​  Out of curiosity, does this happen in DirectX 9 mode?  It shouldn't matter, but it's an easy test since the graphics settings page has a check box for DX9 mode.

    Please also list the affected items so I can check them out in my game.  I don't think I've seen other reports of this recently, although it feels familiar overall, but that doesn't mean you're the only one affected.  I did find this, which is in the same general theme:

    Feel free to add to the thread if you see the same thing.
