Broken CC Dining Chairs & Stools
You may or may not be aware that the last patch broke the routing of your sims to be able to uses stools or dining chairs when they are snapped to a surface like a table or island. I've been in contact with EA as the changes that were made in the last patch didnt seem to make any logical sense. So I wanted to double check that the changes made where intentional. I have been informed that the changes made to these items in the last patch were NOT intentional, therefore I have decided not to update my cc as there should be a future patch that reverts the chairs and stools back to their previous state.
If you can't live without your cc dining chairs and stools there is a batch fix available from Sims 4 Studio (I have an old video that shows how to use the Sims 4 Studio batch fix feature here).
NOTE: If you batch fix your items, they will disappear from any build you currently have that uses those items. This is because the batch fix changes the number that the game uses to identify objects. So it will treat it like a brand new object. This is one of the reasons why I will not be officially updating mine as it would cause these items to disappear from older builds. I know from previous experience, the fewer versions of my cc I release the better, as it only creates more confusion.
If and when I hear anymore information about when this issue will be rectified by EA, I will let you all know

Has there been an update to this chair/barstool issue, Harrie? Was away from Sims for the last couple months-- literally stepped away right when this issue happened, and now that I am back, I can't seem to find a straight answer if they've been fixed yet... Currently updating all my MODS and hundreds of hair CC to include the new shades, so I haven't opened my game just yet-- but I'd love to know if I need to add 'hunt down & update all of my cc chairs/barstools' to my todo list before I can finally play my darn game!
this post is still correct
Really appreciate the update...I can wait but I definitely miss them! Thankfully you have a chair in base game now that we can use until then!!!
I took all of my cc chairs out after the update. I actually don't mind revisiting all of my old builds once the new patch corrects things--now that I have more of your and Felixandre's beautiful cc.
Thank you for the update
Thx for letting us know! I am happy to wait for them to fix
Well that's good to know it wasn't intentional, but I've ran the batch fix three times and the chairs still disappear. I've simply just replaced the chairs with the ones from the 21st anniversary or just the in game chairs. I'm not holding breathe that it will be fixed anytime soon.
The batch fix is not intended to stop chairs disappearing. Infact running the match fix will make all of your chair disappear. The only thing that broke with chairs is that sims could not route correctly to sit in them when snapped to a surface, not that they were disappearing. You'll need to place all of your chairs again after running the batch fix, but then your sims will actually be able to use the chairs
Thanks for addressing this. I do very much miss your beautiful chairs, so hopefully EA patches this promptly!
I’ve been using your “21st birthday” chairs instead lol I can’t live without your CC but thank God I have a way around it for now.
Thanks for letting us know. Just gotta be patient then.
Thank you for this update! I'll wait patiently until the routing problem is patched out again (fingers crossed that happens sooner than later, as I absolutely love your cc in my game!)
Thank you for telling us. I had no idea lol
Once, I completely missed the broken window update and spent months SO sad I couldn’t use the bafroom windows LOL so now I am so on top of updates. You are amazing Harrie! Soooo much talent!!!
