Can't Drag & Place Items from Sim Inventory

I'm a console player (PS5) and can confirm this happens there as well. Also when in build and buy mode I can't place another item in a sequence. I have to move to another category of item in order to place a second one and so on. The same happens if I want to delete something. Can't delete one item after another.

After installing Enchanted by Nature noticed I was unable to drag items from my sims inventory in Live mode.  No mods installed but it was happening about 95 percent of the time and I as able to drag things to the world the other 5 percent.

I'm having this same issue. I can't put things in my sims inventory or take them out without it glitching, and for some reason whenever I try to, it always seems to make my escape button stop working, so I have to manual press the three dots in the corner of the game in order to save.

I'm having this problem on PC too, no mods or CC. My Sim has moved a lot though, so I'm wondering if it's an ownership issue. I had a lot of issues on this save when she was at university with taking an item out of the inventory, and then it wouldn't let me put it back, it said she didn't own it. I'm playing a legacy so some of this stuff came from parents or grandparents houses originally.  It hasn't worked since the update on 7/29/25.

Can no longer drag plants from sims inventory to ground or planters. Also option to plant is Grey'd out. Can only plant if I have sim place plant in world,then must go to build mode to move plant to desired location. Then back to live mode to plant.

Hi trewlady​ 

can you give some more details on what happens when you try to drag ? Can you not grab them or not place them after dragging ?

I've noticed that when I'm trying to place multiple plants from my sims inventory it gets in a 'stuck' state. I can place between 1 to 5 items before it gets stuck on my cursor. I can't make the item/s go back into my inventory, can't sell them, or place them. 

I also notice that sometimes the item won't leave my inventory at all, the item image will move slightly, but then get stuck. This part of it extends to everything in my sims inventory and generally happens after I've placed some gardening objects. 

I've removed my mods, verified the integrity of my game files on Steam, and tried a new save file and have not been able to fix this issue.

I have all the packs and kits and play on PC. 

Just replying to my own report as I belive I figured out what was causing my issue and fixed it!

I moved my sim out of the household during WinterFest, and it just seemed to have fully bugged it out. 

When I went to my back up save before winterfest and moved the offending sim out, the dragging issue was no longer happening. 

Do you still need save files for this? I don’t use mods and can send mine if so. I noticed it tends to be objects that belonged to or were made by sims who are now deceased — ex. nectar bottles, paintings/photos, and even fruits & vegetables that have been in the fridge for multiple generations.
