Items are getting stuck in the grab hand when moving from stacks to inventory

Hello,

For some time now, I've been experiencing a bug where, when I try to drag items from the chest into my inventory, the object gets stuck on my mouse cursor and I can't do anything.

I have to restart my game every time to play normally again.

It's very annoying when you want to move and empty the chest beforehand.

I hope this bug can be fixed.

Hi Daemonten​ 

tested this with an old save of mine and not having any issues.

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

Merged your post. Do you have this on new saves or only existing ?

Hi Daemonten​ 

I tested your saves and can duplicate the issue but only if I move something from the fridge to the Sim and not the other way round. It also didn't happen all the time. For most saves I tried I could just click on an empty space or click with the right mouse button. Was a bit of a hit and miss.

One question about the new save you had this on: Did you go back to the main menu and then start the new save from there or did you shut down the game and then test a new save ?

Retested one of my saves that way and couldn't duplicate.

Also having this issue with at least one older save. Didn't have the issue upon trying a new save.

I normally play with mods, but I took everything out, deleted the localthumbcache file & resource.cfg file and tested it vanilla/no mods. I also tried repairing my game, and had no luck. All the same issues as OP. New save files are there are no issues, but old files I can't drag from storage to inventory.

This makes the game unplayable for me. Please fix ASAP.

So, testing with the fresh game and new save, everything was fine until I got a certain number of items in the fridge, I spammed seed packets, then the problem would occur. Also, if I had the problem, quit to main menu, then started a new save without restarting, the problem would exist immediately in the new save.

I am also having this issue. With further playing, I can say the bug only occurs when you moving things directly from an item; fridge, chest, flower arranging table etc, directly into a Sims inventory. It works fine moving items from the sims inventory and it works fine if you move items from eg ,a fridge onto a surface or the floor etc. 

The bug only occurs when you move items from something directly into a sims inventory. The only way to fix this bug when it occurs is to quit without saving, return to the main menu & reload. 

Side note, so many bugs have been introduced since the December 2025  patch. We desperately need a hot fix! 

HI Daemonten​ 

sounds like one of these contagious issues.

When testing with a fresh game, did you put any mods/cc back or was it still without them ? I do have rather a lot of stacks on my save that I tried and didn't have issues so just making sure it's an issue that can occur on a new vanilla save as well and not only on pre-modded ones.

EmmySim79​ What platform are you on ? Are you normally a mod user ?

Hi Cincrit. I'm on PC and I don't have any mods in my game. I did temporarily download MCC to fix my relationships when going into CAS triggered my spouses to turn into siblings but I have since removed that mod. 

Thanks :D
