Blocked By Nothing?

Hi Everyone,
I've recently started up a new save, built them a house from scratch, etc. Although most of the gameplay is fun, I've run into this weird issue that I think may possibly be a bug?
There is absolutely nothing blocking either side of the bathroom door and yet 75% of the time, my sims will not exit because they say they can't reach it/ something is blocking it?
Anyone have this issue? Any solutions? I've tried deleting the door and replacing it, tried changing the direction the door opens...
Here is a pic (although I now realize the headline didn't show up in capture)... Basically, the sim complaining that they can't get to the door because it is blocked.
Anyone have any idea what to do?

then left click on sim then reset object it might say sim. Try that.
Have you tried the "go here" interaction on the other side of the door? The door itself may not actually be blocked. I've sometimes ran into sims doing this because the place they're going to is blocked, or the patching to get there and use that object is too complex. Whereas a "go here" in front of the object they have to use works fine. As in "from my current position in the upstairs bathroom I can see that I won't be able to use the TV in the man cave in the basement. But I can get to the basement just fine and use the tv after I get there."
Don't ask me why the game is like this, but it's just something I've run into a few times

On the lots mentioned in the thread it was enough for me to open BB mode and then close it, to resolve the issue. There might be more workarounds in the thread.

This is something I've often found to be the cause of issues! Something in a room next door, MOO'd into a place where its footprint intersects into the problem room causes routing/item use issues on occasion. Can be the ceiling light, like mentioned upthread, sometimes it's just houseplants that otherwise wouldn't sit flush.
@s33man , have you tried placing your door centrally on the wall and seeing if that helps? Looks like a 3-tile width room, and clear enough on the inside to place the door on the 2nd (middle) tile. If it works when you do that, it probably found the door placement "too close" to other objects, such as the bath.
From that pic, it looks like there is something right at the edge of the door on the other side. Try sliding the door over just a little and see if that helps.
