[CD] Can't place High-End Robot Vacuum (must be inside)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? i would assume building a multiple level building (2 floors under, 2 floors above)
What happens when the bug occurs? when attempting to use the robot vacuum it says that it needs to be placed inside while i am already inside.
What do you expect to see? me being able to place the vacuum inside a room
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

i saw this awhile back but ignored the issue after. its odd because for my one building it will allow me to place the vacuum in certain spots of a room but not others even though the room is closed off with doors and has a roof. i have attached two pictures. two rooms side by side on the same level. one allows the vacuum to be placed the other does not.

    Ok.  I think I found the problem.  What is causing the error message you get is not on that floor.  It's in the room above.  I couldn't put a robovac in that room either and got the same message.  It's where you have a section of fence and an arch on the back wall.  The arch is no problem.  But the fence is causing the game to think that room is open to the outside.  Replacing the fence section with a solid wall fixes it.  The error messages goes away and the robovac can be placed with no problem on either floor.  So you might have to rethink that area of the build.

    Hope this helps.
