Wow, this is an obscure one, but it's happened to me too. An NPC who lived in Stonestreet Apartments (ECO) died. My sim went to get his urn, but it's stuck in an uneditable corner of the lot (see photo). My sim can interact with it, but she can't put it in her inventory.

NoTwo sims died in an apartment while I was not playing the household (one of them before my sims moved in) and the urns spawned on the same spot in the community area outside the apartment. I cannot click and drag them back on to the lot or in my sim's inventory, and my sims cannot perform any interaction with the urns - they get the "something's in the way" thought bubble. Since I cannot release the spirits, the ghosts keep bothering my sims, and my sims keep autonomously wanting to Mourn at the urns.One of these sims was in a NPC household and died prior to my sims moving in. When I moved into the apartment, I selected "unfurnished," so the urn remained despite that.

Im having the same bug! I have 3 urns clipping in the San Myshuno apartment hallways and I can only possess or engrave them, no moving, destroying or putting in inventory works. ☹️

It happened again, this time in Hakim House (CL). The hallway is not part of the lot, so again, my sim can't pick up the urn and I can't remove it in build mode. A few more deaths in this apartment, and the door will probably be completely blocked, lol. I guess I'll be forced to install TOOL to get rid of them at that point!

I'm having this issue as well, but I don't play the households. They're part of my family tree and I'm trying to collect the headstones for my family graveyard and can't because they're stuck under the building. This is in the big penthouse. I don't have any sims on my family tree living in other places in San Myshuno.

Two sims died in an apartment while I was not playing the household (one of them before my sims moved in) and the urns spawned on the same spot in the community area outside the apartment. I cannot click and drag them back on to the lot or in my sim's inventory, and my sims cannot perform any interaction with the urns - they get the "something's in the way" thought bubble. Since I cannot release the spirits, the ghosts keep bothering my sims, and my sims keep autonomously wanting to Mourn at the urns.
One of these sims was in a NPC household and died prior to my sims moving in. When I moved into the apartment, I selected "unfurnished," so the urn remained despite that.

@thiagodcf Anything off your lot will be unable to be collected or dragged into your inventory and that's pretty normal! so DW too much. And Urn ends up off lot hmm. Sounds tricky... You probably died too close to the edge of the apartment tower then it spawns outside which is downstairs. It still should be collectable; I went onto a dead townie's lot after hearing that they're dead and I took their urn (to make a cemetery) by making the sim manually put it in their inventory. Hopefully this helps! ^U^
