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? 1.59.73
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Hire a caterer for a party and try to drag the finished food into the fridge or sink. You can't.
What happens when the bug occurs? Try to click and drag... Nothing haooens. I have to have a Sim actually do a clean up or out away interaction.
What do you expect to see? I should be able to click and drag into a fridge or sink without having my Sim do it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. December patch.
Pretty self explanatory. I noticed this in dorms first, but it makes a bit more sense there. It isn't yours you can't drag it. However it's a big bug when you have a party and hire a caterer and have plates EVERYWHERE that need to be manually cleaned up or put away.
EDIT by Crinrict: Changed tag and added Version number

I haven't had a chance yet... But it didn't happen before with custom content. I didn't download more after the update and I don't have any script mods.

I also have this issue, didn't know it was a bug. It makes parties annoying sometimes because the caterer won't always put the cake in a place where the game will allow you to add candles but you can't move it

I also have this issue. Reinstalled the game, cleared caches and tried again but the problem reoccurs. I also have issues with my sim stopping cooking several times during the action. I have to direct them to continue.

I see this as well, but I always thought it was because your Sim does not own the item? For example, a caterer NPC making a meal, none of your active Sims made it so we can't drag it somewhere else. I've seen that time and time again, anything my household makes I can drag, anything an NPC makes I can't because my Sim doesn't "own" it. I've never had a problem with room/dormmates though, I've always been able to drag what they bring home.
