I played around with the lot and still did not experience the issue you're having. It must be a very specific trigger for it to happen. Your lot was way smoother on my MacBook Air (2020 M1 8-core CPU, 7-core GPU, 16-core neural engine, 8GB unified memory, macOS 14.1) than on my iMac (2019 27", 3.6GHz i9 8-core CPU, 8GB AMD Radeon Pro 580X GPU, 32GB RAM macOS 13.4). I attribute that to the amazing Apple silicon chips though. Intel feels so clunky now ![]()
Moving your thread to the Game issues forum for further help. I don't believe this is a Mac specific issue. Your Macs are more than capable of running the game well. If it happened on one and not the other I would say it may be a localised issue but both? No. Although, did you happen to use Migration Assistant when you set up your MBA?
It would really help if you could get that video up and running to show the problem. Maybe upload to YouTube unlisted and post the link here?

I did use Migration Assistant, but that was to transfer my stuff from a much older laptop (so not the MacMini M1) which I had never used when building the Horse Ranch house.
I uploaded my video showing the bug occurring to YouTube and I added a description to it explaining what is happening during the video. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/gyLHiQVC4EA

When I had tried to delete the platform while the bug was happening, the game didn't let me delete it (the video shows me doing this) and I attempted to draw a room after doing this in the same video and the room did not appear. If I were to try to save and quit my game the game would keep saving forever, so this is why I always force quit my game now as soon as the bug starts happening. Once I reopened the game and returned to build mode, the platform was gone because I had not saved my game before placing the platform, and I was able to place trees and anything else like normal, but every time I attempt to build a room, place a platform, place stairs, change a wall height or something similar there is a really good chance (not 100% chance) that the bug will be triggered again, so I've basically been saving my game every time I attempt to do something like this to not risk losing the progress I made.
I tried repairing my game to see if that fixed it before I ever reported the bug on this website, and unfortunately this did not work. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to try doing this again.

What you are describing here is exactly what I did when you told me to to see if the issue still happened with a clean Sims 4 folder. When I did this I was still having the same problem.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have everything except fitness stuff pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? you will find the error in building mode and managed worlds. When you delete a house it does not disappear and when you place a house from the gallery the game crashes. In addition, I did not place or sell furniture or anything when decorating and building.
What happens when the bug occurs? Most often the game freezes or crashes when I'm placing houses. When it comes to building houses and placement, selling furniture, it will not be placed against a wall or let go of the thing it is holding or selling. Even if I use code and place it where the piece of furniture lights up green.
What do you expect to see? These issues have persisted since The Sims 4 for Rent came out and I had no trouble before it happened. I've tried repairing and reinstalling, but it doesn't help.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The game won't take screen shoots either and I don't have the option to send you pictures either. It would be nice if you could help me, since I haven't been able to play it the way I usually do.
I repeat what I said since I am not allowed to take pictures.

Hi,
Thanks for answering
I did as you wrote and it didn't help. Things still won't be released if it's something I've taken from the plot. But now another problem has also appeared and that is that if I pick up things from buy mode and drop them where they should be placed, they disappear.
