 * There is glitches for the sims 2 like:The sims "body skill" not "athletic skill" gains really fast and, no phone on the hook.? 20:11, June 18, 2010 (UTC)Monster2821? 20:11, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sometimes in Open For Business when customers check out they go around in circles around the cash *regsister.? 01:24, June 23, 2010 (UTC)Monster2821? 01:24, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * SIMS 2: Game crashing when a sim is about to give birth, but it is easily solved by making a toddler in CAS. SIMS 2:Babies coming on your lot. --24.11.128.37 12:00, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Many times, in The Sims, I've had packets of snacks that sims took out of the fridge when I didn't want them to. Naturally, I cancelled the action, which makes them put it on the floor, and often means you're not charged for it. Usually you can then tell a sim to eat it (for free) or clean it up. Sometimes, though, nobody can interact with the packet, ever. You can't delete it in buy mode, you can't have a sim throw it away, it just stays on the floor, forever, gathering flies and lowering the sims' environment. If you saved before realising the problem, the only way I've found to resolve it is moving out :( 86.164.66.83 11:48, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just had a strange thing happen with my Sims 3 game. I have World Adventures installed, and I'm not sure what it would have to do with it. After giving my Sim it's voice, I went to Astrological Sign, and it was still on the favorites and voice tab while the page was Astrological Sign. Does anybody else have this problem?I am Twilight, Twilight the Wolf - http://sonicfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Twilight_the_Wolf 23:40, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * long change clothes glitch —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monster2821 (talk • contribs) 23:46, Jun 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * When you tell a Sim to change clothes it does take a few seconds. This is because the game loads the clothes before changing them of course. It's not a bug if it only takes a few seconds. It might also take longer if the clothes is user-created and feature alot of vertices or whatever the creators call them. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 08:49, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * It takes 30 sim miniutes--Danny(Monster2821) 00:42, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * once in a while, people build skills really fast for no reason at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monster2821 (talk • contribs) 23:46, Jun 7, 2010 (UTC) This seems like it's caused by completing all skills like anger management and parenting.? 20:17, June 18, 2010 (UTC)Monster2821? 20:17, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * sometimes, it's just body skill they learn very fast (like i'm talking 2 minutes) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamiegirl3000 (talk • contribs) 00:06, Jun 8, 2010 (UTC)

 * sims body disappears —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamiegirl3000 (talk • contribs) 00:06, Jun 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Code 12 and Code 13 save game errors occur with Ambitions (possibly related to using the Pedestrian Sculpting Station) Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Firefighter extinguisher upgrade always disappears after return from vacation. Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * NPC visitors sometimes get stuck on lot, won't leave unless moved/remove via debug cheats. Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sim gets caught in tomb floor trap indefinately, especially during turbo speed. Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sim with duplicates of Canopic relic jars in inventory will not be able to successfully summon mummy. Fix: reload game, remove duplicates from inventory, then summon. Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Vizard of Vine counter resets when sim goes on vacation (or returns home). Tchotchke 01:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Added to the main page since I've found other people reporting this aswell. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 09:03, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Underwear as everydaywear: After having a tatto done, the black underwear shown in tatto mode will be available for your sim to use... as everydaywear! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.36.14 (talk • contribs) 16:00 July 17, 2010
 * Sounds like a pretty sweet bug to me :p Duskey ( talk ) 18:35, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Grim Reaper quits his job - If you move the Grim Reaper in, there is a chance that he will not be replaced, and therefore will not come for a Sim if he/she dies. They will simply be lying there, unable to die but unable to live, in a state of limbo between life and death... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monster2821 (talk • contribs) 18:49, July 6, 2010 UTC
 * Okay, i installed world adventures and ambitions and tried to go to the game launcher but it went funky and said i need a game update but i can't because i can't acsess it! HELP ME!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.119.221 (talk • contribs) 19:41 July 26, 2010 UTC
 * Try taking a look at the Sims 3 patch trouble page Duskey ( talk ) 18:35, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Teaching a toddler how to talk, sometimes when the toddler is done being taught the game does not acknowledge it and the toddler and adult become frozen, though everything around them continues as normal, and their needs still drop. Even if you try canceling their action, it won't work. Other sims cannot interact with the frozen sims, and even when the social worker appears she cannot take the toddler. 68.19.229.53 21:46, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been editing a young adult, and then clicked through the Sims to see what they would have looked like as a teen, child, ect. But when i went back to normal young adult, the guy had his legs squished down and no arms below his elbows. So basiclly he was in the toddler body design, but every thing else was normal....it was actually really creepy 0.o M3J1999
 * What do you "editing a young adult"? Sounds like this is due to either using cheats or game tools/mods. -- Duskey talk 18:03, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * (For Windows users only...mostly because I don't have a mac :P) Pick any Sim nothing matters what you put on him except you need to put a type of glasses. Stay in CAS mode and press the little windows button. This should minimize the game window. Now click back on CAS mode. For a split second to maybe even 5 seconds, your sims will be a gray blob with only glasses and eyes. Your sims will come back don't worry. M3J1999 15:13, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is not a bug. This happens when you zoom in at an un-loaded house in the game as well, it is simply because the computer can not display all the graphics at once. -- Duskey talk 18:03, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Mysterious Vanishing Magic of Pangu's Axe: After a couple of days of owning Pangu's Axe, it will vanish. Completely. Forever. This has happened to me every single time I've got the axe. It even happens with the two Eyes of Horus and the Moodlet Manager. 82.42.36.14 15:25, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ghostly Ghosts, Ghostly Tombstones/Urns: If a Sim dies in the neighbourhood that is not part of your current active household, once the death animation is complete, their tombstone will disappear. This can be easily ignored, but if you really liked that Sim, it means that you can never ressurect them. 82.42.36.14 15:25, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * three glitches one a major annoyance not fixed the grilling interaction corvers your first interaction a temporary fix is to turn of and back on the game 2 a graphical glitch when talking to ghosts your sim may disapear now my sims just appear as if you just used reset sim also sometimes the game does not make a toddler and the teacher of walking close enough and the toddler and teacher have a wired way of doing eg strechy arms toddler jumping Xxgreenbunnyxx
 * I've had some trouble with Bridgeport's firefighters. There are always generated ones who come even at the very beginning of the game. There still are premade ones but in my game, they never show up after an emergency call... JM9193 18:27, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Off-Centre Vampires: When sleeping on the Vampire Altar, oddly, the vampire will float with part of their body overhanging the edge, rather than floating over the centre.
 * The above glitch happens in my game too. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * The auto-updater only updated my World Adventures Pack but not my Sims 3 core game and now a error notice appears and say "base game is not up to date"

I don't know...
i'm Done with article?Monster2821?
 * I have doubts about this page, and whether it's really needed, especially as it exists currently. A list of known game glitches (and possible fixes) would no doubt be useful, but I don't know how that ties into this article. Any thoughts? LostInRiverview 23:43, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

On The Spore"another maxis game" Wiki there is a glitches page and a patches page,so i think it should be on here too.?monster2821?:


 * Understood, but I'm interested to know in what capacity it exists on other wikis. I think it could be valuable, as well as a list of common glitches and an associated category (which there is), but I think this page needs some work.
 * Oops, forgot to sign! --LostInRiverview 00:21, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

It's long enough to be split into two pages on the spore wiki.?monster2821?*

Expand
On june,14,2010 i'm nominating* this article for deletion if barely any glitches are listed.


 * I would hold off on that. It seems to me that this page still lacks direction... I'm not at all satisfied with the listing of the glitches, as it's very possible that those glitches listed aren't of the scope necessary to be listed. For example, who really cares if the phone isn't visible on the hook? Is that a real glitch that is going to disturb gameplay - no. I'd say what this page needs is to list only the most important glitches - ones that really impact gameplay - and link to other pages that delve into those glitches in more detail (or provide the information on the page).


 * So, in all I don't think it's time to delete this page yet, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit. LostInRiverview 00:01, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ok.?monster2821?
 * I always thought about making a list similar to this, but LostInRiverview has some good points. It needs to cite more than one person who are experiencing the same bugs. I thought we could do this by having people add bugs (or what they think is a bug) to the talk page here. When someone else experiences something similar or has a fix, they can then moved it to the main page. It is also endlessly helpful if you can reference a website with the bug ie. a sims forum where multiple people confirm that they have the bug. I moved the unconfirmed stuff to the top of the talk page. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 22:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I've got a Glitch (and it's no Secret!)
In my game, Tory (my male bought SimBot) has no image data. He has no in-game sim. It just shows a plumbbob and thought bubbles on the grounf. I first noticed this after I saved (unfortunately) after two sims in my household went to China (the day or so after HE went to France alone.) Okay, I've tried a couple things. ResetSim, RabbitHoles... that's it. He doesn't have enough Happiness to get "Body Sculptor" and, since he's a SimBot, he can't use the mirror or dresser. His picture icon disappears occasionally as well. The family icon never loads due to his condition. Other sims can't interact with him (he has no image). However, his Family Tree/Relationship icon still is the same- always. His traits are the same. UBFunkaneer 14:10, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

A fix could be on the Cheats page Xxgreenbunnyxx

Sims 3

Sims 2 Graphics Glitch?
Usually when i go to my custom neighborhoods the whole landscape is completely black, this has also happened in Strangetown (strange isn't it?) but anyways everything excluding the actual houses and things i decorated the landscape with are gone so it is hard for me to place new lots, and i've had most of my custom families have screwed up profile pictures (eg: when my sims mom died and he turned into an adult his face was merged with hers. Also another glitch happened once (which i'm pretty sure is unrelated) is that a sim came home from work with a bad mood and had black paint smeared all over his face and it got worse the more i clicked him, when he took a shower i could see the paint physically on his body. THIS however has only happened once. I get my mods from MTS2 and they all are rated good, and i have double deluxe with no extra stuuf/expansion packs outside of nightlife and party stuff. Help Please.

weird crash/glitch
hey when I turn on the sims 3....it turns itself of then my computer gets the blue screen but my computer works fine with the disk out

SIMS 2 Vacation Glitch
This is my glitch (SIMS 2). I sent four of my family members on vacation in the mountains, taking four other guests with them. One of the guests froze and will not move, even when the shuttle comes to take them all home, they cannot leave because the frozen sim will not get into the van. This is the most anoying situation because the family has an infant who was left home with the nanny that they can't get back to and I got other characters important to my storylines that need those sims back in the neighborhood. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

sims 3 ambitions glitch
haha!! when you pause the game the tv just keeps going and going...... i'm watching the cooking channel....
