I am probably am not supposed to be checking mountain falls on the ruins area yet but as I noticed it had been changed so I decided to give it a go as my sims were already in that area. My sims took their car to this area after running up the path from the beach. When they arrived at the lot one sim ran down the path to the left and the other down the right side of the wall ruins then both sims ran to the same spot on the lot and came to a stop as shown in pic below..

The 4 outdoor loungers could be used properly by sims and the bonfire works fine however when I directed my 2 sims to fish neither of them would fish from that area they tried to run to the other side of the pond instead. I then removed one outdoor lounger of the 2 situated at the right of this pond area and one sim started to fish and the other one tried to run around the other side of the pond again so I then moved both the outdoor loungers from the right side of the pond and both sims would then fish from this same location.

I moved the lounge chairs to the following location without moo and my sims could use them and then when i sent my sims back to fish they both went to the same area to fish again so that's what i would do at this side of the pond so sims can relax and fish in the same area.

The fenced path area instead of the raised stairs you had there before appears to have resolved all routing issues around this lot. When i told them to fish at the other side of the pond they ran straight round to the other side and started fishing correctly.

Only one sim could fish from the following location but that's fine as there are plenty of places for a group of sims to fish anyway.

horseshoe game and grill/BBQ objects were used by sims without issues. I then directed my sims to the lounge at 2 ruin isle from the BBQ fishing area location and then ran down the correct path..

However when they got to the end of the ruins path of the fishing lot my sims did a right turn just after the ancient walls to run up those same walls on the other side of the lounge lot side then run back down to the front door of the lounge lot before going into the lot.

to try show you the route exactly I snapped pics of an NPC coming into the lounge lot after being dropped off by a taxi just where the road ends in front of the lounge.

walked to the end of the first ancient wall then turned and walked up the next ancient wall

then runs to front door of lot to get in. I also made sure the front of the lot was set correctly at the front door of the lot to make sure sims came to the right front door when visiting the lot.
when sims leave this lot they come out the front lot door facing the road turn left and run all around the back of the lot to the road as follows
leaving the lot: out the front door and left..

and finally onto the road haha

When the NPC got to the road infront of the lounge lot the sim walked side to side back and forth as if waiting for a taxi that never came and when clicking on that sim the message states sim is going home but while the sim is not frozen stuck still goes nowhere so I am wondering if this is where the unroutable sim notification comes from sometimes. After watching this sim for around 10 minutes the sim just disappeared.

once I had moved the lounge chairs on mountain falls fishing spot there were no other routing errors at all on this lot either sims coming or going.
Now it's the routing to and from the lounge lot and possibly something wrong with taxis being unable to pick up sims at the end of the road facing the lounge lot however I did see sims getting dropped off at that location just never picked back up. Using my sims own vehicles on those roads showed no issues.
I tested the little beach area with the cafe and my sims can swim and windsurf and the like but if i direct them left or right to leave the beach they get stuck in their boats as shown..

EDIT: AFTER FURTHER TESTING I CAN GET BOATS TO LEAVE THIS BEACH IF THEY ARE GOING TO THE RIGHT OF THE BEACH AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME if it saves messing around with the water there as houseboats can pass this area and i would not like that to get messed around :)
