@anbraion I merged your post with the bug report. I don't think there's any solutions.

Good news. I think I might have found the cause to this. This only happened to me when I place new lots down. I was placing lots for one of my save files and when I tried to build. It wouldn't let me make changes and this bug only happened to me when placing lots from the gallery down. The work around for me is after placing lots reload the game and then make changes. This happened on new fresh saves too. Not a mod issue and it might be something to do with for rent. Hopefully this information helps since this was how I managed to reproduce the bug.

cannot delete or move objects

★★★★★ Novice

in an existing lot I cannot move or delete objects. I can pick them up in build buy mod but I can't move them place them somewhere else or delete the object. Only way to fix it is to restart game..

Build mode crash & cant save game

★★★ Newbie

Mine breaks any time I use build mode. I make one change in build mode and then the second action will mess up, e.g I pick something up to move it and it disappears never to be seen again? It then won’t let me do anything further in build mode. I’ll then go into live mode and I cannot switch between the sims or unpause the game. I’ll then go to save the game and this never loads, instead I’ll try and exit to exit to main menu an it will then take me to a loading screen which never loads. I also have an issue where when trying to travel home it loads 3/4 of the way and doesn’t go any further. I play on Xbox so I don’t use any cc’s or mods. I have tried restarting the game and the console etc. This has been happening for about a week now. I have a trait where I get money based on how much I spend weekly and I’m not receiving any money because I cannot use the build mode without it breaking my game! When it happens I have to manually shut down the game and restart and it will take me to my last save!

I had this problem as well! I finally found a solution. Although I had removed all my mods from the folder, I had to disable mods in-game, restart, open up a recent game, and then enable mods again before restarting once more. Everything works now and I recovered my old builds from a back-up. I'm using all the same mods as previously without any problems.

I'm having this issue too on ps5 since most recent patch 1.89. 

 

I can make one change in build/buy mode and save normally. If I try to make any other changes they don't work/place and the game will not save (stuck on loading save screen or return to main menu screen forever). 

 

I've been building this particular lot for several weeks and had no issues until recently (a few days ago). 

 

No mods or cc.

Re: build mode will only let me place one item at a time

★★★ Newbie

Hello! I am on Xbox and cannot share files, but I thought it would be helpful to let you know that this bug only occurred for me after buying the Castle build Kit. This is after the update, and I also did not have For Rent; but the second I bought the kit my game proceeded to bug in build mode and crash consistently, only when using the castle kit with other pack items. No mods, multiple save games. Thanks!

What is your current game version number? 1.105.345.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? place a house from the gallery, then enter build mode and try and place an item. it will place but then when you try to delete it or cancel it, it wont work. however i have found that if i go into live mode and back into build/buy it will work to place/delete 1 item and then if i do the same again i can repeat the process, but this is annoying and i would like to see it fixed
What happens when the bug occurs? placing and deleting items in build/buy will not work.
What do you expect to see? i expect to be able to place or delete whatever items i want. how am i supposed to make changes to my house if im constantly leaving and entering build and live mode

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
