Problem placing foundation
I am trying to rebuild my house on an existing lot. I used the "hammer" to demo the entire house, tile-by-tile, wall-by-wall. There is NOTHING showing on any floor. When I try to place my foundati...

Social jigs are usually invisible and are big trouble if you can't find them. They are placed on a spot where sims are interacting to make other sims walk around them. Then when the interaction is finished they are supposed to be deleted automatically by the game - but if the interaction is interrupted the game doesn't get a chance to clean them up and they get left behind.
The ones for pets I've seen are usually tiny shiny dark balls. The jigs for other sims are often long dark oval shapes on the floor/ground.
Sometimes they are visible in normal play mode, but mostly they are not.
Going into BuyDebug will often make them visible but if not the only other way I know of actually finding them is to use Master Controller to list non inventory items and look for anything with jig in its name.
Even if they are not visible Debug Enabler > Radius purge will get rid of them. But you have to be careful when using that as it will delete anything within the radius you specify. That's why I rarely make it greater than 1.
I actually deleted one in my game a few days ago. It was a largeish round dark strange looking patch in front of a gate and visible in normal live mode. My sim was able to use the gate but made an odd detour around the jig instead of walking straight along the path to the front door.
Having said all of that, I tend to get more problems from food the sims have left behind. Anything from apples to plates of toast or other things. It sinks slightly below the surface with just a tiny round shadow to be seen. I made a tutorial on how to get rid of them.

Another thing to look for is if you've got anything on a level below the problem area. Many items poke through the floor to the level above and reserve a space that can't be used. Some items that do that include the Swift Gro Gardening Station (needs two levels due to the light that flashes above them when it starts to water) and the Group Science Project (reserves 4 levels due to the light that shines when it is activated correctly by sims using it). There are others. The space reserved on floors above the object can't be used and it can be very frustrating trying to work out what the problem is if you're not aware of this issue.
