Invisible dirty plate

[Marvin Kosh]

Is there a procedure for getting rid of one of these from a Sim's lot?  The only tell-tale sign is the sound of (also invisible) flies buzzing around.  I've tried taking the walls out to make it phase-shift back into visibility but to no avail

Have you tried the lotdebugger?

Try buyable fire.

[Marvin Kosh]

I was all ready to use it, but the flies are gone.  I had to restart the game to install the buyable fire so maybe they really are gone.  Maybe there's a routine somewhere which specifically looks for objects that have got lodged in limbo, or maybe it was filtered out when the lot was saved.  Beats me.

Light the whole lot on fire, just to be safe.
