No grid or individual is blocked from any of my sims. Just after you left, someone entered this same sim and was able to copy whatever they wanted and then posted a like vote for this sim. All I can say is that you can right click and then copy any item that is offered as a freebie. If that does not work, then we can count it up to a glitch of some kind but I don't know what it would be.
