TSS carpet inaccessible

So ... I'm not a big-time decorator, but I decided last night to give one of my Sim's bedroom a make-over.  They were using the goth bed from TSS, so I opened the Goth Collection to see if there were any carpets that theoretically went with it.  (EA designers have no sense of color coordination -- even a bad decorator like me is aware of that).  Anyway, there were a few checkered carpets and a few solid colored ones.  I can use the checkered ones, but when I click on the solid ones, I can't select them.  I went to Build Mode and tried to access them from there, and the solids don't even show up -- only checkered.

I didn't see this one in any of the TSS borked stuff threads. Anyone else experience this? Is there a way to fix it?

Emma:
I haven't noticed this, but I haven't made any gothy-type rooms as yet. I'll go check on my clean install right now. ;)

[edit] Nope, they don't work.

phyllis_p:
Thanks for verifying that it's not just me, Emma :-)

The ones that aren't working, are they any of these carpets?

Also are you positive that the "carpet" in question is not a wall? I've noticed with TSS the carpet and wall order seems to be switched. The walls are actualy in the catalogue before the floors. I made the same mistake and it was a clean game so I knew that it wasn't something in my users, i just happened to move my cursor near the wall and discovered the issue.  :-[

phyllis_p:
Hmm.  Maybe the solids are walls. Looking at your picture, I think I see solid wall colors that match what I thought had been solid carpet colors.  That'll be a big d'oh! for me, if true. I'm at work now, so I can't check, but I'll look when I get home.  Thanks so much :-)  (I guess I couldn't imagine they'd have checked carpets but no solids. I forgot the decor-challenged-ness of the designers).
