Can't Move Lot Even Though It's Empty

Question

Anyone else have this issue and know a fix. I have had this happen in my game forever but just wondering if there is a way around it.
As soon as I put any type of building onto a lot and play the game for a while, when I go and bulldoze the lot back to empty I can't move it. I have some lots I want to move around, they are in the wrong space and I want to put there somewhere new for a different building but I cannot move them anymore once they have been built on, yea I am bulldozing the building. I don't want to delete them since I can't replace them as they are odd sizes I can't get from the world editor.

To see if there are any spawners as @nickibitsward said, you'll need to turn on a couple of cheats.testingcheatsenabled truebuydebug

If you go into the lot, do you see anything at all on it?  If not, you could try what I do, placing a wall or an object then going back out into Edit Town and bulldozing the lot.  That way you won't lose the lot and for me, it usually empties and I can grab it.

Ok I've never seen anything on the lots, however I totally forgot about needing the cheats on since I usually turn them off when I don't need them. I'll try what you guys suggested tomorrow.

I use a mod that lets me add empty lots of any size. If you are interested try searching for 'any lot size sims 3'

I agree that buydebug cheat will let you see spawners on the lot. Check up and down all levels as they xan be anywhere on the lot.

@Karritz is that the mod by Velocitygrass? I saw under comments on it people where have issues with it since it didn't seem to be updated for 1.69 and it was corrupting their game or causing it not to load up anymore.
