hi,
i've come across a rather strange bug. to be honest, i do not know how or why it started, but i do know when: approximately two to three days ago.
at first it started only on the front door and windows, then as of a few moments ago (i made the main room slightly larger and added a pond to the opposite end of the lot as well as moved my garden), the issue extended to every door and window on the first floor, leading from one room to the next, or from the inside to the outside (but not from the outside inwards).
i also noticed my sim has an "unfinished room" moodlet despite it being completely finished. it doesn't notice the doors or windows, since its inside the house.
the issue: doors and windows sort of "blend" into the walls and cannot be used from the inside, however, they can still be used from the outside of the house. sims going in will find themselves imprisoned without an exit.
everything can be seen fine from the outside, tho'. can even use the "look inside" emote (as many paparazzi seem to do - my sim is a 4-star celebrity)
and yes, i checked and double-checked: 'moveobjects on' is definitely set to 'off'. i did not activate or use these at the time of building the house, nor during the time in which i modified it.
please help in any way you can! this has become rather bothersome... i do not wish to have to destroy and rebuild the house...
PS: i have every expansion (save for any expansion that came out after Pets) and absolutely none of the stuff packs.
i'm on windows seven, utilizing a 128mb nvidia graphics card, an amd dual processor and 3gb of RAM memory. i can only run the game in nearly-lowest settings... my pets (dogs and cats only) all look stretched in one axis across the entire lot. (at least its easy to know when i have "visitors" that ransack my newspapers outside)
EDIT: my sims 3 version is 1.29~
NOTE: moving out is not an option, as i'm still on my first legacy challenge generation. i've just recently got my sim pregnant.
due to the strict challenge rules, i cannot have my sim move out, even if i have to move it back right in... that would deem the challenge a failure and i'd have to start over!
