Scotbo - to take the degrees off the wall you have to select the sim and have them take the degree. Click on it and you should have an option to view it, and if the degree is theirs, an option to take it. I tried to place one in inventory like you do everything else, and I couldn't, then remembered you could have them take it the other way.
Thanks, Elvira. I think I actually did try to get the sim to take it, but I only saw the option to view when I clicked on it. It may not have been the degree owner selected, so that was likely the problem. I've tried to move the buffet in several houses now and it still won't work though. Has anyone else noticed this?

I also have a wierd thing happen occasionally (only a couple of times so far) where it looks like a sim is in the bed, but there's no one there. The covers are heaped up like someone is in bed, and no one can use the bed (or that side of the bed, if it's a double). When it first happened, it was a single bed and the sim was able to get in like usual, and when they got up and made the bed it made up normally. But this just happened again in a double bed, which had already been made, I think, and that side of the bed was unusable. I had to wake up the sleeper to buy them another bed so the spouse could go to bed! The first time it happened was pre-NL, and I have NL and the installed the patch the first day it was available. So that may be a glitch related to my computer. It's only happened since I bought my new Dell XPS Gen 5 with the GeForce 6800 graphics card.
I've had this problem on occasion too with the base game, prior to installing any expansion packs. I don't think it was ever fixed, because I still have it happen once in awhile. I think it might be related to invisible sims on the lot. I've had it happpen with chairs and couches too. I also encountered an invisible sim in the Goth house the other day. He/she was sitting at the dinner table and you could see the food being eaten, but couldn't see who was eating it. I thought this was fixed with a patch, but apparently the problem is back again if it was.

Noticed something new:
Yesterday, I tried to place a brand new bed against a 45 degree angle wall. It acted just like a bed that I took out of inventory: I couldn't place it against the wall. I had to use moveobjects on to place it. Now, I've never placed a bed before at a 45 degree angle, so I don't know if you always have to use the moveobjects cheat (although I doubt it as I don't have to use it for other objects).
BUT - two of the three houses where I first tried to place a double bed / dresser from a sims inventory were in rooms that had a 45 degree angle wall. (Can't remember if the third one did or not.) Since this problem with the inventory doesn't happen all the time, it got me thinking that maybe the 45 degree angle walls have something to do with it?
I'm not sure why that would be, but then again, I didn't understand why a maid wouldn't clean a room with a door at a 45 degree angle either. 
Has anyone else noticed whether or not their was a diagonal wall / door in the room where you had a problem placing an item from inventory?

simmiecal, I'm pretty sure that there were no diagonal or 45 degree walls in any of the rooms where I encountered the problem. It's a good thought though, as doors on these walls seem to be buggy.
Btw, I am grateful to have found this forum. I'd just like to thank JM Pescado for all his hard work and also MaxoidTom for taking the time to help us out.
