Invisible/mystery object blocking the way.

So I'm playing my current sim house, and notice that right in the middle of a large area, that is completely empty, my sims will never walk straight through. Instead, they will have to walk all the way around this empty area, hugging the walls in order to get to where they wish. I don't recall ever having placed an object in that spot. It's been empty for as long as the house has been there.
I tried to click on the ground in the middle of that area, to have my sims "Go here" But the option will not come up, there is a space of about 4 squares where I just cannot click on. I went to buy mode to see if an end table could be placed there, I got the message "Cannot intersect objects". Again, nothing appears to be here, and it is a large space, not blocked by doors or chairs or anything else. I tried dragging the walls over that area, couldn't do that either.
I had a 4 square area like this occur in one of the bedrooms of the Jolina house in Sunselt Valley, pre WA installation. I believe it happened after a toddler had played with a toy from the toy chest and/or after the toddler had been read to by an adult in that area. Not even AM's nuke command got rid of whatever was stuck there. I ended up moving to a different house after getting tired enough of watching the ritual walk around an empty space and haven't again encountered the problem. Of course, since then I don't put a toy chest in a house and the toddlers have to read their own books. :)

This is probably what happened then. My sim had been reading a toddler a book right in that area not so long before I noticed this problem. And I will also mention that after finishing the book, my sim had become "Frozen" while making an attempt to put the book away... I wouldn't have been able to make the connection had you not brought this up. Anyways, I collected my existing families and started a new neighborhood to move them in. All is well again. And I think I'll let my toddlers read their own books as well ^_~
