Can’t Move Objects in Build/Buy Mode after Placing a Lot from the Gallery

So i’m trying to redo each lot/world in my legacy save. After placing a lot from the Gallery (tested both via map view and from within build mode), build mode breaks and I’m unable to place any items. I can pick objects up and they will follow my cursor, but clicking to place them does nothing and the object just snaps back to its original position. I can duplicated with the eyedrop, but it won’t place. Pressing H returns it to where it was before I picked it up. The only exception is if I delete something first. Then I can place ONE thing down before the bug triggers again. Once triggered, build mode stays broken for the entire session until I restart the game and place from the gallery again.

Steps I’ve already taken with no fix:

• Removed all mods/CC from the mods folder and disabled them through the game

• Repaired the game through the EA App

• Updated graphics drivers and Windows

• Restarted PC

• Tested on a brand new save file

• Tested with different lot types and gallery listings

• Deleted the localtbumbcache file

The issue consistently triggers after placing a lot from the Gallery and going through the placement process. Not a corrupted save issue since it happens on fresh saves too.
