Counters cannot be resized
I'm on PC using Windows 11, Sims 4 Standard Edition: 1.115.253.1020 DX11
The only Expansion Packs I do not have are the three most recent: Lovestruck, Life & Death and Businesses & Hobbies.
The only Game Packs I do not have are: Dine Out and My Wedding Stories.
I have quite a few but not all Stuff packs. I have four kits.
I use MCCC and UI cheats. Disabling them did nothing, removing everything in my Mods folder did nothing. I repaired the game, it did not fix the problem, the error persists.
What happens: I cannot resize counters. I can resize island counters, but not regular counters.
When using the bracket keys to resize, the green footprint will change size, but the counter remains visually the same until I move it over an object and it turns red and it displays as resized. It's very very weird.
Attached are five images.
1506: sized down counter (see smaller green footprint), but visually the regular size
1507: that same sized down counter, but red as it overlaps the counter next to it, now showing as sized down
1508: a sized up counter (see 2x2 green footprint), but visually the regular size
1509: that same sized up counter, but red as it overlaps the counter next to it, now showing as sized up
1510: an island counter properly displaying being sized down
This only happens with new counters. Counters that already exist on a lot behave strangely, but in a different way. When I use the bracket keys for those counter it attempts to resize, fails and then pops out of being selected.
This was tested in a lot with Sims and without Sims in two separate save files, and in a brand new save, and on community lots. I renamed my Sims 4 folder and repaired the game, and booted it up fresh with absolutely no saves, no mods, no special settings, and had the same exact problem.
I went back to test it on other types of objects, including cabinets, and so far only counters present this issue. And all counter shapes as well, corners, ends, etc. I do not know when this might have started, I only found out about it on June 7th and the error is still present after today's patch (June 17th, I've updated my game version).
I've confirmed the glitch with two other people I know. [This is a fresh account instead of my normal account because I have been unable to publish here for over a week and I've tried so many variations to get this to published (short, long, attachments, no attachments, three different browsers). I keep getting hit with an error whenever I click on "publish" so I'm crossing my fingers that this goes through.]
