What do you expect to see? cursed objects only spawning where sims can reach them and/or ability to move them in buy mode so they can be relocated where sims can reach them

I've seen this happen twice in my game, both times it was the cursed doll, so it might be only related to that object.

Workaround for the doll spawning on the bed is to move the bed, for the stair landing I managed to destroy it by doing the "ghastly ritual" on the seance table and floating there as a ghost.

    I had this happen again, but this time in a house in Brindleton Bay. Since it's a gig, I was unable to remove the walls and access the objects to destroy them.

  • I had this problem while I was doing a gig in San Myshuno at the Landgraab Apartments in Uptown. A pair of spooky hands spawned on the ground level near the front door but I can't actually click on them. Anytime I try the full building is selected and just gives me the options of going upstairs or downstairs only. After the gig was done they just stayed there. I can't select them in build mode either because they're outside the building so they're just there now and I can't do anything about it. 

  • I am also seeing unreachable items in the free spirits, household in Windenberg, they are spawning between a hedge and a wall.

    I have a save if needed, no mods or cc used, but can not work out, how to share link.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playing in a Haunted House, I guess? I don't know. It's the first time I've seen it.
    What happens when the bug occurs? A "mysterious symbol" spawned under a double bed.
    What do you expect to see? Haunted/cursed objects only spawning on open spaces.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.

    I was playing on a haunted lot, and saw the glow of a "mysterious symbol" coming up through the center of a double bed. This is, of course, impossible to reach for the Sims to mop up. I had to go into Build/Buy and move the bed just so I could click it and have them mop it up. This shouldn't even be possible because you wouldn't be able to place an object over a cursed object.
