I installed some older packs via Origin yesterday, and now I can't resize Fridges or Counters. I was able to do so yesterday before installing. The only fridge that will resize is the Discover University fridge.
I have:
- restarted my game
- restarted my computer
- repaired my entire game
- deleted Sims 4 folder in My Documents to generate a completely fresh game with no mods
- tried restoring my old Sims 4 folder before the game installs
- visiting another lot and coming back
Nothing I do works.
I have a saved room I downloaded with a resized fridge and that still appears resized to a smaller size when I place the room, but I cannot resize fridges or counters myself. Nor can I resize the smaller-sized fridge from the downloaded room. When I press the bracket key, it just drops the item. On a fresh fridge, counter, oven, or cabinet, the footprint underneath the item changes in size, but the item itself remains the same size. Inside or outside a room. No error code is generated. I can resize toilets, sinks, and other things, but not fridges or counters anymore, which I find to be important for my house layout, and I could do it before so I don't understand why I can't do this anymore. Game is updated to the latest 1.60 patch, too, everything was automatic through Origin.
Edit: I cannot resize upper cabinets, or ovens, either. So it's fridges, counters, ovens and cabinets. I was able to resize them just fine yesterday...
Update: after building in the game for about 30 minutes, magically I regained the ability to resize fridges, cabinets and stoves. I did nothing new or different, I was just in build mode for about 30 min building the house. However, I still can't resize counters. I can resize island counters, but not actual counters.

I think it is the patch update. I am having the same problem but it didn't used to be like that. I am guessing one of the latest patches 'fixed' the issue... which is a bummer.

As of Jan. 2022 the resize issue still remain. Resize island counter still works, but not the regular counters.
August 2022
As of August 2022, STILL a problem. Again, islands are fine, but counters cannot be resized.
