Why do items appear to be floating from different angles?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, City Living, Island Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Get Together, Discover University, Dine Out, Spa Day, Laundry Day, Cool Kitchen.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Placing items on a surface (table, counter, etc) then changing the camera angle.
What happens when the bug occurs? Items appear to be floating instead of sitting on the surface.
What do you expect to see? I place items on a surface in build mode, change the camera angle, and the items are still on the surface.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Is it normal for objects placed on surfaces (table counter, etc) to appear to be floating when you change the camera angle? Is there a way to fix this? I attached two images showing this too.

  • Sorry about all the updates. Just checked other items I had placed around that time and they were also weirdly floating, so I recreated the scenario with MOO enabled but this time they sit just fine (attached images of this) even though I scaled the table down and used ctrl 0 to lower the candle. Seems like a random bug that I get often but not all the time. Reloading my game appears to be the solution so far as it's the only thing I did between the two attempts.

  • Also, I switched to sims 3 camera and realized the objects don't attach to the coffee table at all. They just float above. Are we not able to properly place items on coffee tables? Is this to do with it being on a platform?

    Yes, I have move objects on

  • Just tested it with MOO off and yes. they still seem to be floating. I experimented with the objects but on the ground floor and there was no problem so I redid the arrangement and moved it to the original position upstairs with no problem. Attached a pic

  • @Davina322 I'm not having this specific problem, but I do have one that's related. Every now and then (really, it's pretty rare) I'll be looking around my toddlers' room and notice a spoiled bowl from a previous meal floating midair and usually partially upside-down. I've noticed it quite a few times, but I lost all my saves when I had to reinitialize my PS4 so I don't have a pic. ☹️
