So my problem/bug is that I tried to build a new house in Newcrest. Everything was fine until I tried to center the window on the second floor. Neither ALT (while using Sims 3 camera) nor the bb.moveobjects cheat worked, the window keeps slapping onto the grid or a bit up and down. I tried sizing it as well with SHIFT + [ or SHIFT + ] and while it worked the background looked as if it hadn't (took a screenshot of that). 

Here's what I've tried. I do have cc and mods but I removed them and the problem persisted. I tried clearing the cache of the game and repairing the game via Origin. The problem persisted. I tried using the cheat in a different ways like BB.moveobjects or bb.moveobjects on or BB.moveobjects on but, while I always get the confirmation that is on, it never works. I asked a friend who plays and she's unable to use the bb.moveobjects cheat either. I also tried moving a sim to the lot as if it lived there and switch between live mode and build but the problem persisted

You can only move some windows up and down using ALT, not from side to side on the horizontal. You cannot size them up and down properly either, that is why you are getting the result in your screenshot.

As @simvasion has stated, this is not a bug.

@DevilWoman024 I don't think this is a bug. Build mode things like doors and windows must be on a grid to work. You can't move them freely, even with cheats like moveobjects or holding ALT.

Thank you to both of you :O I thought I had seen others move them more freely. My mistake, I'm sorry
