Soon after I wrote my post, my family went to the next generation. Wanting see what would happen, I bought the reno for the room that also connects with the second bathroom. I found that my peep was still "stuck" when she was close to the bathroom, but she could move if set down further away. So I did the renovation for the large room, (even though it took most of my peep's money, arghh!). Once the room was finished, there were no more problems. I don't know what it was that was keeping the family from exiting those rooms, but she can now walk down the stairs she couldn't before. She did have quite a job picking up all the socks and wrappers, lol! Now all she has to do is get that bank account built back up, but fortunately she is not only well educated herself, and has a terrific job, she also married very well ) Thanks for the ideas, I'll keep them in mind in case I face another stuck peep in the future.

I do have another question, also related to the same area of the house. Why can't I put furniture up against the wall between the second bathroom and the bedroom? I get the red line, and there is a fairly large space between where the wall is and where the furniture will sit. Is this normal, or is it a glitch? Can I do anything to fix it? This is happening in all the families, not just one that had the sticky problem. Thanks so much for the help!
