 :(  Does anyone know how to remove white blocks that appear? I can only see them when I use the "buydebug" cheat and they stop Sims from being able to use stairs to gain access to a house or an upper room and I've only found them on one specific Island so far after placing the biggest lot that can be placed on it which is 30x20. This Island is right next to "No Trouble Atoll" which is an uncharted Island that I unlocked after I got "Hobart's Hideaway" Resort to 5 stars. I figured out how to get the Roach Spawns out from underneath it... I couldn't delete them so I placed them in the water. That is a long,funny story I would be glad to explain if you have a problem with roaches and  unclean reviews for "Hobart's Hideaway". Anyway, these white block spawners will not allow me to pick them up unless "moveObjects" cheat is enabled. Then, I absolutely have not figured out a way to delete them and I've used every cheat that I have and I can't place the "stair blockers" in the water because the Ocean is off of the 30x20 grid. It says (while in buy mode) "SHOULD NOT BE IN GAME" and "CANNOT DELETE" when I pick them up and try to sell them for $0. "Object delete" doesn't work either. Is this some kind of Malicious code placed in the game? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. This is really aggravating  :o  ( I have some screen shots but not sure how to upload them here). Thank you for your time.

Does the box have a name that has numbers and letters in it, is very long and means nothing? I've not myself experienced it, but in one of my sister's files, one of the sims had a box fitting to the depictions you gave. She got it for a wedding present. We've not been able to delete it or move it from the family inventory, so it has sat there for three generations.

I had this same problem but from EA houses from the bin when you go into edit town and chose empty houses.

Basically, they are an aggravation but don't affect play if you move them, using the move object cheat.  I just moved them to a corner of the lot and left them there.  In live game you can't see them and that ended the problem.
Don't know why EA left them there, an oversight I guess.   

I finished the remodeling of the houses but it has been a while since I used them, I will place them on a lot and see if they are still there.
