Plants dissapear after placement

Hi, 

I've been having an issue for months now, I hoped the updates will fix it but still the same. 

Most plants and everything I have in the plant category ( cc included) dissapear after I place them.( non-cc items and plants inclded). 

They do re-appear after I quit and go back but sometimes when I try to load the lot it just gives me an error code and I have to move out the household and sell the furniture if I want to open the lot. I did all the TS I found around here for similar situations, batch tested my CC, took it all out, started a new save, etc but it is still the same and it affects non CC items too so I have no clue what's going on. 

( I have all packs and expansion and my game is up to date). 

Thanks in advance!

    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/ My games library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with random sims and play by 5 minutes.
    If the problem disappeared
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7. Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
    Then copy and paste your mods and CC from the old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    Step. 10. Launch the game and check if this problem disappeared.
    The last step - delete The Sims4 old folder.

    Your saves and library will be not changed or damaged
