I hate accidentally moving things in the premade houses and not being able to move the back.

Like the trees!? I don't know how many times I have tried to move an item in the house, and somehow in the move it becomes a tree instead. It is annoying.

Yes! Those trees they position with bits outside the grid, if you move them, they are never going back to the same spot. I just moved one of the cherry trees at the neo Tokyo house and ruined the symmetry of the outdoor dining area. :(

I had that happen at the beach side escape and what I did was before I tap the green tick to confirm the placement of the 'moved' item, i close the game(pressing the home button), remove from task list and relaunch SFP.

How many times have you clicked on the wrong veggie to garden? Grrr...then if you cancel it you still get charged. Or how many times, when your trying to have your Sim do something like "use toilet" and it gets EVERYTHING EXCEPT the toilet. Heres me: "No, not turn light off!! No, not admire painting! No, not "wash hands. Ok forget it. Let the bit-- pee on herself!" Lol

I have learned to save before starting such stuff and then do as bloodcool explained and basically erase. I build crazy all the time and spend money crazy trying things out to see how to do it. Then download my saved game and erase. Then I know what it will cost approximately and what I need to do to build it. I LOVE "erase" it was scary at first because I was afraid I'd mess up. But now I love it! Try it with something little at first till you get the hang of it.

You have to reset before you download saved game, right? That's the scary part for me.

That's too scary for me, especially now with the log in / log out problems. I have to check every time I go in the game to see if I am logged in or not - usually I am not and have to manually log in. Never had to do that before - I usually don't pay attention because I play through GC, but I know my saves have to be coordinated with both GC and FB. I am not sure if my twice a day saves are actually what I would get on a download if I had to reset!
I think, therefore, I Sim! (Or I did before they told me to "harvest" them)
