Routing help??

Hey guys, can you help me figure out why my Sim can't use the bathtub in the picture?

From this picture below it seems like there's an invisible object obstructing the routing. 

Here's what I've tried:

  • Deleting the floor then reapplying.
  • Removing every object in the vicinity.
  • Moving the entire bathroom away.

I've seen "invisible" objects shaped like a small toy duck obstructing a different household's routing too. Something in common with both households is that they have a fairy. However I don't feel like fairy dusts should obstruct routing, and if it turns "invisible", how can I make it show up then pick it up?

    There are several ways to go about clearing an invisible item.  You can move out, keeping the furniture then move back in.  The downside is that you have to refurnish the entire house.  

    A second way is to go to build mode and select the room and delete it.  You'll have to rebuild the room though.

    A third way is to draw a small room around the area where you think the invisible object is, then delete that.  This way is much less work to restore the room.

    Hope this helps.
