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

Trying to move anything between storage (ex: the fridge) and the sims inventory is moving the first stack and then automatically selecting another object in the storage. The next item or stack selected is permanently stuck on the hand causing multiple issues. I've tested this with multiple saves, and new saves. It happens in all of the old saves. In a new save, the problem does not occur UNLESS you go into an old save with the problem and then load the new save. The problem will then occur in the new save.

Things I have tried. 

Reverting to an older save
Repairing game
Removing the sims 4 folder and allowing the game to rebuild it, then moving the old saves back.

The screenshots show a stack of onions stuck in my "hand" and the floating second stack when clicking on something with the stuck object. You can also see it remains stuck when going into the game menu.

This problem occurred in every scenario I tested it in, so my game is essentially unplayable, unless I just don't use the sims inventory at all.

Possible workarounds to try

  • Try clicking on an empty space on the inventory, click with the right mouse button or press ESC.
  • Try dragging the objects to the world first before dragging into your inventory. Can only do one object at the time this way.

Please do state the following info when posting in this thread. Would be interesting to see which users are affected by this. I was able to replicate it on a save with no mods/cc but it would be interesting if it happens to players that never had any as I can't duplicate the issue on my own save games.

  • What platform are you playing on ?
  • Are you using mods/cc ?

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

    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.
