"grab hand" in Sims 3 glitching

[Magwitch]

Yep. I've just experienced this issue for the first time, after moving a family into a new house and trying to unload the family inventory. There weren't many items in there, though - a dozen at most.

I'm having endless problems with the grab hand in a brand new neighborhood I started after patching to 2.3 and grabbing the 2.3 test version of Awesomemod.  My family inventory and each sim's inventory are both completely empty.  Just trying to use the paintbrush tool to drag over blanket styles from one bed to another resulted in a permanently clenched fist.  I started another new Sunset Valley and went into buy/build mode on an unoccupied house and had the same issues.

Just last night I started having the grabby hand issue as well, but I noticed mine while in create-a-style. I grabbed a pattern to drag it to another object, and the hand stayed closed after 'dropping' the pattern. I could click on the color wheel with the closed hand, but that was all. I ended up having to F1 back into live mode, and restart the game because of the hand.

It happened on a small, premade lot in SV. It's the home Claire Ursine originally lived in. There are 2 sims in the household, and they don't have a shit ton of stuff, so I'm not really convinced that that's what's causing it in my game...
