The arrow thing with shoes and the cross out sign means your sim can't access an object because something is in the way (this is called a routing issue). It can happen when you use the bb.moveobjects cheat. If the sim was going to have some kind of social action with another sim, they move, stop, and then do that head shake and thought bubble with the other sim's picture crossed out, it might be because of a routing issue too. Just move the object back to fix the routing. Also, dont be discouraged from using bb.moveobjects cheat! You just have to be mindful of where you place objects. Always test things out to make sure your sims can access and use them (this is called playtesting) Placing objects where you want can really add charm to a build. Keep an eye out for #playtested or #playtest in the description box of lots and rooms on the Gallery. This means the creator has playtested the build before sharing to the Gallery.
