New patch bug?

Hi all. I was just wondering if anybody else has been experiencing an issue that I have since yesterday's update.
All of a sudden my sims will not sit at their dining table and eat. They always have done and I haven't changed anything. It is only CC dining chairs that are causing this issue, and then it is only when the chairs are at a table. If they're not at a table they can sit in them fine. All other types of CC furniture are useable and I am so perplexed as to why this has suddenly become an issue?

I don't know why they broke, it usually happens when Maxis updates their configuration files, hopefully it's just something simple like a hex code that needs to be changed. Maybe someone will post an update how you can fix them yourself, the sad thing is that if it's cc from a mod creator that is retired you probably have to fix it yourself.
I'm surprised that beds didn't break with the update.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
As for the dining issue, I always thought it was a good day when I could get the whole family to the dining table at once, so I can't really tell if it's a new bug or not.
Check that you removed any related mods, maybe?
My game won't let me play until I've updated. Never has done.
Always and have again today, done ALL the correct procedures prior ie removing mods folder, updating cc, removing other cc/mods till updated, restarted over and over etc,,,
I've tolerated kept quite since Sims1 but this ... it's a game but it's my go to declutter mind space.
At a loss what to do

Does it work if you delete localthumbcache and have no mods/cc installed at all? Have you tried a Game Repair?
You can't use Build/Buy? That's a new one. I haven't had that. Do you play on a PC? How did you get the bunkbeds then?
Bunkbeds are creating confusion for people. You must place the top bunk first before putting anything under it (unless you use bb.moveobjects) You can't put anything in the way of the ladder.
In addition, the patch broke slotted chairs. If you have cc chairs at desks and tables, replace them with the maxis chairs otherwise your sims won't use them.
Before updating my game, I always remove the entire Sims 4 folder and let the game generate all new folders. (This is usually the time I create a base game family or house to share on the gallery.) Then I click on the Mods/CC box and exit the game. Next, I reload my old tray and save, deleting the new ones just created. Start the game again. Set all my game settings (Sims 3 camera, 28 day seasons etc.) Exit the game again and reload only mods, more specifically, only the ones I know are updated (like MCCC and Twisted Mexi's Better Build/Buy). Once all the mods are back in, then I reload cc. This takes a long time but it ensures that my saves, which I have put in hours and hours of work to build, don't get destroyed. Always keep a backup copy of your save and tray someplace!

@haneul You can still play the game in offline mode, turn off autonomatic updates in origin settings and then go into offline mode and you can play. Works for me, I have not updated.
Be careful if you have automatic updates already turned on, origin will try to update the sims4 as soon as you start origin so either go quickly into offline mode or just simply turn off your network connection and go into origin and turn off automatic updates.
Thanks for the tip. I haven't tried to play yet, but normally if I want to avoid a patch, I put my desktop in airplane mode before I start Origin.

If you change the object definition to this tuning, the chairs will work. You need to change for every swatch:
Tuning name: object_chair_tuning
Nr: 14841
I think the bar stools also can be fixed with.
Tuning name: object_barstool
Nr: 14830
But that needs some further experimenting.
Seems like there are a lot of new slots tuning items in tuning files.
I thought that I would share this from the thread mentioned above. If this works, I truly love this simmer! I haven't tested it yet, and have pretty much zero experience with Sims 4 Studio, but I'm hoping that I can get this to work and that it will be of some use to you guys too.
I don't have any mods related to aging, the only pet related mod I have is the Autofill Hygiene mod. I haven't made any changes to my mods in a few months.

I have tried it all but still can't do anything in build. I've always been so careful, organised folders in Mods, removing cache regularly etc. It only happened since this patch.
After a brief time all the object inventory has disappeared. So confused

@SimsLady2000 I play on a PC. What's happening is everything appears normal in build/buy. However when I go to the catalogue and choose the object or build item, it does not transfer to the lot. This happens both with an active family or pure build.
Strangely, in the active households, the 'house' inventory catalogue works fine.
I'll try removing the Sims 4 folder method and see if this helps
