My sims keep saying there's something in the way?

This is driving me crazy! It's happened in a lot of my games making it impossible for me to play normally without using cheats. My sims just stand there waving not able to get into their homes because of a blue pillow blocking the way. It's some problem with the door itself because they can walk up close to the door they just wont go through it. Anyone know what this problem is? The weird thing is is it just pops up after a few days in the game. The first few days are fine and they can get in and out then bam! they just stop going through the door even though i haven't placed anything new around the door!

I've had this issue almost since the game launched. Usually I delete the door and replace it. If that doesn't work I remove any items anywhere near the door. One time it was a dollhouse that was on the porch and 5 spaces away from the door on the porch! :shock: If you have an entryway that contains an arch (before the door) it can confuse sims as the door is considered inside a room (or something like that). I have found that any lot I find with issues like this, often adding a second door to the back or side can help it (if I can't figure it out). Sure, sims might use the wrong door to enter but at least they can enter. If I find a lot that really just can't seem to fix no matter what I try, I usually delete it from my game now to avoid the errors (and lag) it can cause. HTH!
