After I place one item the next item I select won't place, it flips back to where it was previously, or is carries around by my mouse indefinitely. I found by clicking a different tool across the top like the eyedropper then going back to the select tool it will let me place another item, but only one. Then click on the eyedropper again and back to the select tool, for each item I need to move or place.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title to better reflect the issue
Since the new update I can't place any objects in build mode or delete existing ones.
Newly placed objects immediately dissapear and existing ones can't be deleted or selected.
I have updated all my mods and removed broken ones. Don't know if this could be caused by broken CC.
I'm still having this issue as well - was there any solution anywhere?
Since the lates update on Sept. 18th 2025 I can no longer use build because it only allows ONE action at a time before I have to go back into live mode and then back in and then out again etc. I tried the repair option through EA app but it's still not working correctly. I never use mods so this is NOT a mod or CC issue.
I’m having a very similar problem but I could place items, just not move or delete them. That and also I’ll create a new room and it will randomly delete segments of an adjacent room’s walls that make literally no sense. Or a wall won’t close to make a room: I’m building a wall and accidentally make it too short. When I try to close the gap nothing happens. As soon as an issue occurs I save it, and it will freeze on the save and I have to force quit. These issues happen ever 5-10 minutes. No mods or cc installed. Have repaired game multiple times. I have werewolves, pets, castle stuff and fancy stuff (? The one with the butler) installed.
Hi! I have this same bug and can't find a more relevant thread than this one, I only found some that are vaguely similar but with different specifics (or less information).
What happens is build mode works for a while normally, until the bug occurs at which point nothing can be placed, moved, or otherwise altered at all. Undo etc does not work. It always triggered after editing roof and wall pieces. Reloading the game will let it work for a short while, but the glitch happens again very quickly (though not after a set number of items placed/moved). There are no error messages at all. I had the bug in Everdew on the Watering Hole lot, in Innisgreen. I encountered this bug a couple weeks ago (before the Sept 18th patch), and got frustrated enough that I just haven't done much with build mode since then.
I'm on PC Steam, with no mods/cc.
Additionally, this bug was shown in James Turner's recent video; https://youtu.be/k0fxrJSFP_o?si=hMwammifZ_H6nkwQ&t=2442 (This should link to the relevant portion, but it's at about 40min if not.) Note he questioned if it was the water in the video, because of an earlier issue that did come from building over a pond, but I was not building over a pond when encountering this bug.
I am having this issue after the September 18th, 2025 update.
If I pick up an already placed item I cannot place it back down. This was also specifically happening with gallery builds. I was touring shells for a shell challenge and was downloading and looking at several different builds and this was an issue across all of them. I also could not use the undo button or use Ctrl+Z to undo.
I was using multiple save files and this issue was happening across all of them. I restarted my game more than once and it didn't resolve. However now, a few hours later, I opened my game and the issue is not happening.
I have no mods in my game and have not had any mods in my game since the update.
This already has a thread.
Will need to find the thread later.
sharday14 Can you place one item or none at all ? Do you get any errors ?
This glitch happens randomly, tested with and without mods to make sure it wasn't outdated mods causing the issue. When in build mode I am unable to place items, or move already placed items, it doesn't come up saying it's unable to place it is like the game can't detect that I am trying to place anything. The only way I have found a fix temporarily is closing the game and reopening it.
I played earlier today with no issue but when I logged in a got a mcc error code, downloaded the new mcc command center and it was still giving me the same error and when I go into build mode I can't place anything or adjust the hight of the floors once this happens I can no longer even delete anything and my whole system freezes up and I have to restart my whole computer to get out of the game. I disabled all mods and tried again but had the same issues.
Hello, since the 18th September update I have been unable to to place any items on build mode. Once I select an item and go to place it on my lot it disappears. The only mods I have installed is the MCCC which I updated yesterday when I updated the game. I have repaired the game and also re-disenabled mods, both to no avail. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?
