Eco objects not working

So I have all expansions & packs plus some mods I added the juice fizzer, the home recycler, candle maker and the fabrication machine to my lot, I also added a dumpster. The fizzer, recycler and fabricator have no interactions at all. When I put the cursor on it I get a red circle and cross (see images) I HAVE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED TRIED WITHOUT MODS AND REPAIRED THE GAME THROUGH ORIGINS.... nothing works. The candle maker allows interactions but apparently there’s a mystery ingredient that I don’t have but I’m not sure what’s missing. I have wax and dye but still can’t make candles I also have 89/100 bits and pieces ( I had to do a lot of dumpster diving) can someone please help

    @IESPOKENWORD That's an easy one.

    Turn the objects.

    You have the fabricator and recycler turned so the place where the sims would normally stand to work on them is blocked by other objects.

    The Fabricator is blocked by the Juicer.

    The Recycler is blocked by the hedge fence.

    Just turn them around, they'll work.

    Thanks for a quick response unfortunately when I moved them the same thing happened. Also I can’t use the candle maker. It says required 0/1 but it doesn’t say what it is. I have soy wax and bees wax and dye and bits and pieces but still can’t get it to work. The fizzler won’t let me add ingredients it’s like the whole pack hates me lol.

    @IESPOKENWORDI can barely see it in those pics because they are extremely tiny and 90% of the picture is cut off.

    I think that one is the "Aura of Death Flower". The final item should be "Wax Block". If you collected "Soy Wax" and have it in your inventory, and it still says that, then there is something wrong with your game.

    You'll need to do a game repair in Origin, remove any and all mods, and try it again.

    FYI... You do realize you can just hit "C" to take a screen-shot, right?

    Thanks again for the speedy reply I know about the screenshot it just didn’t cross my mind lol. I had to make the pics small because it said the image was too big so sorry. I’ve tried it without the mods I’ve tried repairing I’ve tried uninstall and reinstall idk why they don’t work. I tried to use the recycler on a community lot that didn’t work either. So now I’m removing all my mods and uninstalling and reinstalling without my saves.hopefully that works thanks for your help

    @IESPOKENWORD Well, try it without the mods, see if that works. Then try it on a New save.

    If you've already re-installed, doing it again wouldn't help. Try it without the mods and separately, a new save. Make sure to delete the cache files also. Carl's Guides has a very good one on how to do that.
