When I place my rabbit holes into my empty world, I am getting routing errors that make no sense.

1. When I had my bookstore, the sim could go buy books by going through the front door perfectly fine, but when she tried to go to work she couldn't go through the same front door and would do the route failure tantrum. I made her walk all the way around the building and she could physically get to the other two doors on the building. It wasn't until I moved the bookstore to another lot that she could get in.

2. The grocery store - My playables seem to be able to shop there, but my NPCs will stand and throw route failure tantrums and occasionally throw their purchases on the ground and leave them behind -- hey, free onion! I don't know what they are trying to do, but they complain that they can't do it. I think it may be work though but I keep forgetting to employ a sim there.

3. The police station - My sim can work there, but when he tries to go home he throws a tantrum and will read on the sidewalk until I tell him to walk out into the middle of the street and THEN go home.

I don't understand what's going on because the sims seem able to get all the way around the lots. They also seem to be able to get inside the buildings but they can't do certain tasks there.

Perhaps you have a mod or CC conflict- does this happen in all savegames and all worlds, or just this one?

Just this world. It was a custom world I got from this site and then deleted everything. I will try taking out some CC to see what is going on. There is some sort of routing issue going on. I just put in a consignment lot that I made myself. The sim I was playing started whining that he couldn't get to the register because a shelf on the wall was in the way. He then cried because there was a sofa that he could easily walk around in his way. Only when I made a clear beeline from the door to the register would he use the shop. Otherwise he'd whine and complain instead of walking around the obstacle.



Edited to add: This problem is sort of solved.. well, I am not sure how to fix it on my end, but it's not EAs fault. While this world did great in play testing with all of the lots on, I think deleting the lots did something wonky to it. I have now seen sims stand on empty lots doing route failure tantrums. I don't really get why they can't function, but I'll assume it has something to do with my deleting the lots.
