Hi @JKOBson
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, stuff packs and kits as of 29/07/2021.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Break the "Put it on a Pedestal Sink"
What happens when the bug occurs? The water flow goes through the wall facing the opposite direction to what it should. The splash/puddle is floating mid-air (I will attach screenshots for reference)
What do you expect to see? The water features should be placed appropriately to where the moppable puddle forms and should not go through the walls.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

My current save household has the "Put it on a Pedestal Sink" in their bathroom and it has broken many times due to its quality. When it breaks I noticed the water is facing the wrong way and goes through the wall into their bedroom. You can also see the splash marks, which are usually on the ground, appear behind their heads. I double-checked by removing my cc and mods and deleted the localthumbcache. So in the screenshot where the sim is dressed in blue, my mods folder is installed. And where the sim is wearing a white t-shirt, this version of the game is vanilla. Same result after the sink breaks in both.
So I have determined for myself that this is an issue with EA's tuning for the item and has nothing to do with my mods folder. It isn't a big bug and rather a visual issue but it's clearly not supposed to happen so I've reported it. The sink otherwise works as you'd expect. I'm wondering if they'll add this to the laundry list for the next update. There are lots of little things that break the immersion but I notice this mostly because my sink is always breaking!

I had this problem and I seen a stream on twitch is the same trouble. The Joke was the house was peeing with the walls up.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Break the 'Put it on a Pedestal Sink' from Cottage Living.
What happens when the bug occurs? Broken sink 'Put it on a Pedestal' (sinkPed_EP11ORN) from Cottage Living displays visual effect incorrectly.

I assume this happens because of the incorrect FX bone position in the sink's rig
