Now find I can't place any TV on any TV stand!

Honestly, EA/Maxis, how much more broken is the game going to get...?!

I have tried 4 different lots in four different locations (spent almost an hour thoroughly testing). If I enter a Maxis built property where there are TVs on stands, they're on stands but, if I take a TV off a stand and attempt to replace it, I get the same problem as if I try to put a TV on a stand myself (see screenshot). The screenshot is just an example, I literally have tried every single combination of TVs and stands.

Just to reiterate:

I have everything up to - and including - Cats and Dogs.

I have NEVER installed any custom content.

No cheats were in use whilst testing.

I have repaired the game.

Playing on a MacBook Pro, running High Sierra. Has anyone else found this...? 

To be perfectly honest, I'm just about done with the game; too much is broken, there's too much that's completely nonsensical (you can have a toddler taken away because you've forgotten to feed them, but not because you've allowed them to wander around town on their own...?! And how the * does a toddler know where 'home' is...?! It's like Maxis has never interacted with actual, real, children! I have an entire, long, list, but that's the one that springs instantly to mind).

I have over £300 invested in the game, but I'm just going to have to write it off, because I'm hardly going to be able to get a refund, am I...? (although I'm pretty certain that, under the terms of the Sale of Goods and Services Act, I'm fully entitled to one).

Really, REALLY, not happy right now... 😠😡🤬🤯

  • Tested the stands in my game and have no issues with them.

    What's the name of that particular one you have on the picture (I know you said it happens with all of them but I would like to try that one too) ?

    I have tested the issue you are having on two different 15" MacBook Pros and am not having any of the problems you are experiencing with the TVs.

    Edit - are you aware that in your picture you are trying to place the TV on an ottoman, which is a bench, not a table? TVs cannot be placed on seating items...
