Why do Sims spawn on the backside of the wall?

I'm trying to figure out why, and how to stop sims from spawning on the back side of a wall.  Currently, I'm at Polly Maloney's apartment.  Here is a photo of what I'm trying to figure out.

The yellow X is where the Sims will spawn.  You can see Ryan Atkins has spawned behind the wall.  I was told that sims will spawn by the call box, but this call box is already in the middle of the room, never touched it.  So I thought maybe it was the mailbox.  I moved it from the original spot where the red square is to across the room, but Ryan Akins still spawned behind the wall, where the yellow X is.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • LaBlue0314  This isn't necessarily fixable, other than moving the walls in question.  But you could try saving a version of the lot with the call box moved, as you've done, and then bulldozing and replacing the lot.  It's possible that the spawn point is set already, and moving the call box doesn't help after the fact, but that replacing the lot makes the game recalculate the spawn point.

    If that doesn't help, then it's probably best to just rearrange the lobby so the spawn point is on the correct side of the wall.
