It's affecting all wall painting options including wallpaper, tiles, etc.
I'm having this problem on 20 culpepper house
Doesn't appear any different on the map, looks normal
I had just loaded into my save file and wanted to update my childs bedroom from toddler to child
I wasn't using any mods that affected building at the time, and I removed all mods anyway to see if it was causing a problem
just to note, it's only affecting certain portions of the apartment, not the apartment as a whole, im also having problem laying the floor down with it saying the same thing "cannot place due to fixed object"

I'm having this issue (walls are unselectable, unpaintable)when loading fresh into the game, I have zero expansions, packs or mods (never have) and it seems it only began happening after the house I'm working on got fairly large and complicated. I'm not sure if I have placed "too many"walls or what. There are also quite a lot of shrubs on my lot. But it seems to me the game should know how to manage these resources and warn us or prevent us from placing too many objects.
Another key that this is happening is that windows can be placed but ONLY at the very lowest point, trying to move them up the wall will instead move them through the wall.
I'm playing on one of the 40x30 lots in Newcrest, Avarice Acres, I have never activated or used cheats and again I have 0 expansions (I'm a cheapskate, what can I say?) and have never used mods.
Attached is a picture of my house (for scale) with the issue occurring
I am on the latest version of win 10, latest graphics drivers and latest version of the Sims.
I have a Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB RAM, nVidia GTX 2060
