Mysterious Unclickable Debug Rock

So, I've been working really hard on this build, and I thought I might need some debug objects along the way.  So I did the bb.showhiddenobjects and found a bunch that I thought looked useful, and placed them around the lot.

All of them behave normally, EXCEPT one--this weird rock thing with crystals sticking out of it.  Not only can I not click on it, I can't find it again in the full (with showhiddenobjects on) catalog!  Filtering by each and every pack I own (and the basegame) one by one, also didn't find it.  Tried searching. "rock" "stone" "crystal" "magic" "meteor" "space" found nothing.  I can't figure out where I even GOT this thing from, except that I obviously did once.  And I can't.  Move it.  AT ALL.

It doesn't even light up when I mouse over it.  The game is treating it as if it was some permanent object.  I can't click on it, find out what it's called so I can look it up, hammer it, I can't build within like FIVE SQUARES IN EACH DIRECTION of it.  Even _with_ moveobjects on, I can't even so much as place floor tiles.  I really don't want to lose this entire lot and have to try and recreate everything I've done by memory.  ☹️

Moveobjects and testingcheats both don't work.  My mods are disabled and have been for some time.  It's on that one big (64 x 64) lot in Windenburg, if that helps.

Any help anybody can give me on this would be much appreciated.

  • Oh!  I had no idea.  Weirdly enough being a digging spot kinda fits with the purpose I had in putting it down in the first place--I wanted something that would look like an "ore resource".  (I'm trying to see if I can make a Sims lot look like a strategy game.  Don't ask.) The problem is, I had no idea that whereever I happened to first slap it down would be permanent.  

    I'll try the TOOL.  Thank you.
