Build Question - I need all of your glorious minds.

I've run into something....interesting, that I can't seen to get past. I am working on a Colonial Mansion and I have two areas where my Sim, in testing, simply cannot go. I click the ground, and nothing. I click objects in that area, and she complains that she cannot reach it.
This is one of the areas:
It's on a foundation. Yes, for the gardens, there are 4 small deck pieces inserted, because they fit and worked with no MOO. The Sim cannot walk to the area, in a rectangle, from the center, to the bench on the right and cannot sit on the bench. She cannot even pass along that side of the garden, to get to the other side. The side on the left, and the bench are working as intended.
I've even made sure that the ground, because of my use of terrain tools, was flat:
But even if it wasn't, it's a foundation.
The other area is here:
Which leads from the patio in the rear of the house, to the pool area. Can't walk across that area, at all. She has to walk all the way around, either from the garden area previously shown or the other side of the lot, where the Movie Screen and Bar are located. Same thing. It's a foundation.
I'm at a loss.

Guessing the same might be the problem in the pool area, the enlarged rock & plants in the pool and on the other side of the walkway. I haven't used the terrain tool very often, but I've heard/read of others who've had routing failures because of it. Just a thought... *shrugs*
Good luck, I hope you get it figured out soon!
First time, after much frustrating messing about, I boxed the area into a room and placed that room onto another lot. It worked fine there so I went back to my build, deleted the room space there and placed the saved version....where it also worked fine! No idea what had caused the problem but I was past caring because it was fixed haha.
The second time it happened I tried the same thing but sadly replacing the area didn’t fix it that time. I finally narrowed it down to a debug tree that I’d reduced the size of but for some reason had kept its ginormous footprint - that tree seriously wanted the whole garden to itself for some reason!
Not sure if either will help but it’s all I’ve got, good luck with it! 😉
You're also using the same debug shrubs and trees near the pool walkway... So it really might be it.
