Unable to rotate water slide to fit Cricket Cabana

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
I want to talk about something you don't mention above: Unable to place water slide
How accessible is the current experience? It's useless to me
Summarize what in the product is difficult to use. Cricket Cabana, wqater slide from backyard pack. Unable to put water slide down because the bug that prevents items from being rotated prior to placement prevents me from rotating the water slide. I can rotate the property, but the water slide rotates with it. I cannot rotate the water slide independently of the property, so there is no way to place it on the side of the house. It has to be a bug. There is no way developers made the water slide unable to rotate on purpose.
How is this making it more difficult? It makes it impossible to add a water slide to the side of the Cricket Cabana property even though there is a perfect thin stretch of yard for it to fit IF IT COULD BE ROTATED to match.
How can we reproduce this experience? Try and put the water slide next to the Cricket Cabana house.

Make the water slide rotate-able so it can be put anywhere.

    Did you try bulldozing the lot and build your own house ?

    I'm not sure why you can't rotate it as that works on that lot too but yes, there's no space for it but just build your own house and make it fit.

    When they built that building they didn't know they were going to add the water slide.

  • Hi @Nighteyez01

    I can rotate both water slides fine.

    Do you have issues with any other objects ?

    Are you using Sims 3 or Sims 4 camera mode ?

  • Sims 4, and I can rotate furniture I buy, but not the slide. The camera rotates the whole house/yard as well as the slide.

  • No, no mods. Only Sims 4 game, backyard pack, and as of yesterday, Cats & Dogs pack, and 4 Seasons pack. I tried again today to just install water slide at a new house in the world included with the cats& dogs pack, but it will not rotate. Had to settle for it being on the side of the house instead of in the backyard. I can rotate it now by clicking on it, and then the clockwise or counter clockwise arrows, but my complaint is regarding the limited space at Cricket Cabana. I cannot rotate it so I can place it where I want it. There is no room to plop it down so I can rotate it afterwards. The Domis Familiaris house in Brendleton Bay had enough room I could put the water slide on, then rotate it. Not so the Cricket Cabana house.
