Difficulty Placing Outdoor Items

Hello,

I've been experiencing difficulty in placing outdoor items when "snap to grid" is turned on and wondered if anyone else has had something similar happen or could suggest a fix.

What happens is when I'm trying to place anything, be it brick paving, lampposts, gardens - the item I'm trying to place will rapidly flicker between 2-4 grid nodes in quick succession. Even if I manage to land it on the node next to a previously placed item it also never lines up and will always be off by a noticeable amount. To use the brick paving as an example, the lines of the bricks never match up and I pretty much have to use manual placement for everything.

This only happens outdoors. Indoors items will snap to the grid properly. I don't think that this can be an issue with my game since indoor snap placement works fine. This is only outdoors.

Anyone have any thoughts at what could be causing this or possible solutions to try?

I've noticed this too, but only at my FC house in Empyreum. I wonder if it's because my house is facing directly south, where as my FC house is at a strange angle so it's causing grid issues.

Only solution for me was to disable grid and carefully move things into place so they line up.

I have a house in Empyreum also, plot number 12 which faces SE. My friend got the house next door (another ward sadly) and his doesn't do this so maybe it's a bug with some of the new housing plots. I'll report it. Thanks for your insight :)
