You could have tried using the BatBox to see if there was something down there.
Actually I tried that too, selecting everything on the Batmanbox of Awesomeness that looked relevant. However, I do not have the Stuck Object Remover -- I'll definitely go find and download that now.
I also just thought of something else, based on some comments of those more awesome than I am, to the effect that NPCs' needs decay differently depending on whether or not they interact with playable Sims. In fact, it might be worse than that -- it seems as if sometimes NPCs become unable to take care of their decaying needs, even if there are perfectly serviceable beds, terlets, etc. available. I suspect that the passed-out landlord on the one hand, and the "you-didn't-let-me-get-any-sleep" problem I mentioned earlier on the other hand, are symptoms of the same thing.
Before AL, my thought always was, "If Joe Carr wants to play chess all night long, that's his problem. It's time to put my household to bed." But from now on I'm going to change my gameplay with guests, such that I always choose Say Goodbye or Ask To Leave before putting my Sims to bed -- especially now that they try to put themselves to bed, as we've all noticed.
This will probably be trickier in apartments, since it seems less clear which NPCs are flagged as "your Sims' guest." It seems it can even be apartment neighbors whom you didn't specifically invite, but they chatted in the hottub with your Sim, so now they're "guests." Either way, I'm clicking on NPCs before putting my last household Sim to bed, whether they're in the residence or not, until I'm able to choose either Say Goodbye To/Everyone or Ask To Leave/Everyone. Same thing with NPCs that come home from work or school.
If I forget, and a Sim winds up passed out and stinky in an awkward place like next to the bed or at the bottom of the stairs, I guess the thing to do is NOT delete that Sim under any circumstances. Instead I'll use moveobjects to move my Sim to a better location, and have him/her wake up the passed-out Sim, and then Say Goodbye or Ask To Leave.
And we'll see whether that helps. Not that I'm not still snagging that Stuck Object Remover. :)

I just moved an empty Apartment Building I'd made -- furnished but with no Sims living in it -- from the house bin to another neighborhood. All the furniture in all the apartments, except for the bathroom and kitchen stuff, is invisible in live mode. If I use the boolprop and have them rent the apartment furniture there is still furniture in there, but it's invisible. I can't delete it even with move_objects. Stuck object Remover works though.
If I have them rent it unfurnished everything's OK, the furniture isn't there.
Anyone else notice this with apartments, classified as apartments not residential, from the lots and houses bin?

DD is playing my (her) game, the hacks are Maty's the AL fix (lastest) and the two recommend with the AL fixes. Working with migraine here not thinking clearly enough for names. Anyway has anyone found that the food in inventory goes bad right away when taken out of inventory? This includes food bought at business. She was having trouble with making single servings of cheese cake and other desserts to restock the store.
She also has a Sim who is a Rock god but cannot get her career reward.
There might answers here already, but my head can't deal with all the reading

Can't speak to the cause of the problem, but unlockcareerrewards should enable all the rewards for her to yoink the guitar.

Yes did sort of think of that, just didn't get the chance to try it, llike I said thinking and migraines do not mix, but that still doesn't explain the problem.
