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.

    I’m getting this on ps5. Objects I try to place just vanish when I try to place them.

    Hi, so I just discovered swapping between tools at the top seems to help my issue, but it’s quite annoying.

    The first report is not exactly what I’m seeing as I can delete by pressing K to pull up the hammer or by dragging an item to the “sell” bar as long as I click a different tool and go back to the mouse tool FIRST. The bulldoze lot and house tool doesn’t work unless I also switch between tools before clicking it.

    The second and third one is more like what I’m experiencing, but even going to and from the lot build mode I am unable to freely place items once a lot has been placed from the gallery in that session. I can place items once before it doesn’t work. Switching between tools at the top seems to let me place one item before having to go back to the tool bar to place/move the next item. 

    Sorry if I repeated the same thing I’m just trying to make sure I’m covering all I’ve tried
