 * There are 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)


 * I've experienced this as well. Sometimes the customers also seem to go to the wrong place, where actually no cashier is standing at all and then they get angry, because "the cashier isn't doing his/her job" in the sight of those NPC's, while actually the NPC's are standing at the wrong place, as already said. Because of that, it often also seems like NPC's give their cash to "the air" instead of giving it to the cashier. 149.172.163.84 (talk) 20:56, August 2, 2013 (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)

 * Help, my the sims 2 university is vanished. But, in the the sims 2 launcher, it shows the sims 2 university installed. I also get a message "You have uninstalled the sims 2 university. Every sims appear in the college lot will be appear as an adult in the family bin". (I'm doing nothing with my the sims 2 university) 180.245.73.115 (talk) 11:34, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was using the cosmotology station on a sim when all of a sudden instead of the "change appereance" screen, the "Plastic Surgery" screen came up. Freyaflowers96 (talk) 07:37, February 26, 2013 (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.

I don't know if this is an actual glitch in The Sims 2, but it's certainly an annoyance. As far as I can tell, it happens when a Sim is a) the owner of a car, and b) in a job with a work outfit. At least some of the time, if the "Go To Work" action is canceled after the Sim has changed into the work outfit, it will be repeatedly pushed on the Sim. Dharden (talk) 03:39, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

When I use that locker room shower item, the Sim's body vanishes until they put their clothes back on. Asteriski 15:20, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

I play the sims 2 and I've had this happen twice. Sometimes, when my sim has a baby, the baby becomes frozen and can't move. I also can't socialize with it, so its needs drop. So when the parents go to pick it up, they just stand there. I can't click out of the socialization, so both the parent and the baby's needs drop until the social worker comes. Then the baby is taken away and the parent dies moments later. Can someone help me? It's really annoying. It doesn't just happen with babies, it happens with the other life stages too. Child and above, they'll just be frozen for a few seconds. Sometimes if a child freezes, all I have to do is socialize with it with another sim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.175.22 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * Try enabling testingcheatsenabled, Shift+Click on the frozen Sim, select "Force Error", and then "Reset". No, it won't harm your game. K6ka (talk | contrib) | NG Userpage | The Last Stand Wiki | The Sims Wiki | YouTube | Wikipedia 18:40, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

HELP?? I have this problem with my lights. They stop working and just stay off. I can't even click on them anymore. I have tried replacing them all with new lights and the new lights just do the same thing. I also tried exiting the game and going back in, then I moved the house to the lot bin and placed it in the neighborhood again and nothing seems to work. This does'nt happen in all the lots either, it just seems to randomly happen but once the lights go out they are permanently broken. Any ideas? I would like for my sims to not have to exist in perpetual darkness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.27.74.121 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

 * Random Blackbar -- There are two random black bars under my lot in which I cant build anything on it, which means i cant put flooring, walls or anything on it. I have a pool right over it, I dont even know how that managed to happen. Like these bars are just completely unsuable, no image may appear over it or anything.

 * Underground/ Aboveground House -- When I try to put a new lot in, whether it be a pre-made lot I made or one from the actual sims website, for some reason the terrain gets messed up and it goes underground, then my sims cant get to it. Like the visual just gets stretched downward on the sides. The whole thing is still there but no-one can get to it because the terrain wont let it. Same thing goes vise-versa in where when I place it its really high up sometimes.

 * My sim gets the singed moodlet when it sits at a table in the house, when i first moved into the house i had a meteor distaster and i had to clean up and put out fires but there were none around, as if the house was normal just a few rocks here and there... and whenever the sim gets a singed moodlet it says 'from fire' but there are definitely no fires around.

 * When I want to change my sims in there everday clothes, the whole section is lost and not to be seen. I dont know if it is just my game being weird or a very iritating glitch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GamerCornerTV (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * What do you mean the section is lost? Did you "change clothes" or "plan outfit" in CAS? If it disappears, try disabling the clothing filter.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  04:07, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I found a solution. Just make a second outfit for the sim and the everyday section in change clothes is back again. GamerCornerTV —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.150.81 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * 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)

 * 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 andunable 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)

I found a way to fix this. Open the cheat bar. Type in moveObjects on. Go to buy mode. Move one of the two people. It should be fixed.
 * 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)

Save and quit. Go back on and they'll look normal, but they'll be able to do stuff teens children ect. can do as well as what a young adult can do. No fix for that part.
 * 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)


 * 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)
 * Not necesscarily, 82.42.36.14, if you go to the town Mausoleum and select "Manage The Dead" within a reasonable amount of time, all recently dead sims' tombstones will be there. However, if you wait too long (probably 3-4 sim days) the gravestones will vanish.UBFunkaneer says "That's what a gentleman does." 23:15, February 19, 2011 (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" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.88.64 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * After doing a few missions in World Adventures, the adventures don't come up as often on the board. Eventually they don't come up at all. How can I fix this? --WoganHemlock - The Dark Sage 06:51, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * (Console version) when my sims came home from work with the singed moodlet(Science career, y'know those explosions and stuff) and it never dissapeared which meant they could never change clothes,they were at risk of getting electrocuted and burnt easier. I've deleted the save but would still like to know in case it happened again.
 * When moving an unoccupied residential lot in edit town to another spot in town, the price of the house in the new lot is only the price of the undeveloped lot- e.g if I moved a £20000 house onto a £1200 peice of land, it would only cost £1200! 86.177.252.69 13:16, April 2, 2011 (UTC)jamjar33
 * (PC) I didn't save a neighorhood with a certain sim placed in it, and a glitch occured when I started playing that town again (Barnacle Bay). I put the same sim in a different house, and the house's maptag showed up on the unsaved old house! I bulldozed the house and the lot, and that removed it, but then all the maptags in all neighborhoods disappeared. Changing the filter settings and using maptag cheats had no effect. However, the problem was fixed after a game restart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.72.6.102 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * Yes Jealousy: After Generations is installed, the No Jealousy lifetime reward loses its functionality. It still removes immediate relationship drop if cheating is witnessed, but the "Be Accesed of Cheating" action can still appear, with the same effect. A temporary workaround for this is to use the resetsim cheat on any Sim who goes to accuse your Don Juan/Female Fatale. 90.197.79.135 15:06, August 6, 2011 (UTC).

 * Cant order an omniplant after patch 1.15 this can be fixed by canceling the order omniplant command when your sim still walk to the mailbox--Wir.wiryawan 07:37, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Photography skill broken (blank out), cant capture any subject, the take photo command stuck in the command queue cannot be canceled caused your sim to freeze to death, and the worst is this can cause your game to crash. this happen after installing generation. to fix this move your sim to another town.--Wir.wiryawan 07:37, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think this glitch happens to me to, but I can't be sure because of the way it is worded. What happens is (in world adventures) whenever I order my sim to take a picture with a camera (purchased in Al Simhara) the sim freezes completely but their motives still decay. Other sims can interact with the sims but they will not respond in any way. I fix this glitch by using the Resetsim "Firstname Lastname" cheat, but the pictures are not in the camera so I can't take any pictures and it is impossible complete adventures that require you to take photos. 74.61.195.133 (talk) 22:41, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

 * When I start up Bridgeport, all the sims have wierd names, as if they've reverted back to the placeholder names that the creators gave them before establishing their real names. For instance, Hyacinth Atkins and her sister Violet are named Bubbles and Blossom Ditto. Belisama Hemlock is named BabyJapenese, and Morrigan Hemlock is the only vampire in the whole town. Silverwing Mryddin 12:56, October 24 2011 (UTC)
 * The only games I have installed are the base game and Late Night. When playing the in the neighborhood from the base game, My sim turned invisible, with his Plumbob floating where his midsection should be. He would freeze when I tried to change outfits (More like he would become stuck in ftont of the dresser and his mood would steadilly drop.) and if I tried to change his apperance, it would give me options for woman's and men's hair with my sim still being invisible no matter what I click. I tried the reset sim cheat, but it didn't work. I installed the latest patch, but that did nothing. I ended up deleting him and I placed a copy in the town. Everything was fine until I looked over at the town. Some townies seem to be at a lower level (As if in a basement.) with their thought bubbles just above the floor. They can interact with other, normal townies and buildings just fine, but I can not interact with them. I have no idea how to fix this, please help me by e-mailing me at cabbagemiso@yahoo.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.220.40 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Domian can't interact with Al, but they can pillow fight. This is a good glitch because Al is'nt playable, never leaves the house. Never returns to his lamp, and he helps clean and is good at playing drums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.235.17.160 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

 * Severe glitche in CAS, when choosing the lifetime wish of sims, the icons for them dissapear and are replaced with hearts. When hearts are clicked nothing happens which then makes the game unplayable to an extent - New sims cannot be created due to the fact that you can't choose a lifetime wish for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.161.54 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

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 ground. 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)

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 stuff/expansion packs outside of nightlife and party stuff. Help Please.

The black landscape thing has happened to me too, happens most of the time. Sometimes when I'm in a lot, all the ground changes so it either looks like a sim hairstyle, sim flooring (wood, carpet, etc where there should be grass) or even baby faces once (which was completely terrifying). This happens to me a lot, in every lot on every neighborhood I have. I've also had the messed-up profile pictures - the only thing I've found that helps is making them go to the mirror and changing their profile picture until it looks normal again, sometimes takes a couple of tries. A similar thing happened to me once where the sim's face went completely black and dark blue. I did the same thing to get rid of it - go to the mirror and select 'change appearance' until it eventually fixed itself. Hope the last bit helped, no solutions from me for the landscapes though :( mine usually goes away after a while and changes back to normal.

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?


 * If your Sim is frozen, then it means you have The Sims 2 Seasons. Your Sim is supposed to be awaken by sunrise. You can also make selectable other Sims to warm up the frozen Sim by using boolprop testingcheatsenabled true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikel23 (talk • contribs) 12:39, February 2, 2011 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Issue using new Function 'Edit in CAS'
My daughter has had a problem with the ability you now have with testingcheatsenabled to 'Edit in CAS' any sim you pass in town. She Edited a townie sim in CAS and he became immediately unavailable to her sim and was never home. Even when called for a date, he arrived and immediately left again. Requests for the sim to come to her sims house were refused. She was forced to delete him for fears he was going to corrupt her entire saved game. Does anyone have any information about whether or not this new feature corrupts sims or indeed entire towns? I personally think it's possible but I wonder if anyone else has any more information. I will ask Cricint at The Sims 3.com later today as well. MiyuEmi 13:19, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

New Glitches that should be added
Reported on the Sims 3 Forums and experienced by myself, there are two currently game stopping bugs which are causing problems. The first one is that after a couple of generations, everyone in the town, including your sims, stop aging. Secondly, houses around town become vacant despite being inhabited. If you call a sim you'll be told they 'Don't feel like it right now' but your sim will never be able to go to their home because they're never there. The only work around for this is going into Edit Town and moving people around just to actually interact with them but eventually everyone because inaccessible again. The aging bug will be a real problem though, especially with people, like myself, who are working on a legacy. Sims and entire save games are being corrupted somehow, someone on the forum suggested it has to do with the automatic forming of a group and people get stuck waiting for their group. Either way these are bugs that can stop you from being able to play your legacy. Also, Save Errors are back as memories are bloating the size of a save game. Every time your sim takes a bubble bath they're getting a memory of it etc etc. Should these be added? MiyuEmi 23:47, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims Tutorial House glitch

 * I agree. It looks more like an error than a glitch. Dharden (talk) 13:28, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know what the cause is. It was because i had to rename a file called UserData to UuserData since the game was loading for hours. What i think is, The first part is an error, kinda obvious of course. After that i tried to resest the tutorial. But it didn't reset. I think that is the glitch part. EclipseCookie 15:02, October 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * O.o You know you shouldn't have done it, should you? That is your unintentional mistake. A glitch happens naturally by the game itself due to developer's negligent.  Nikel  Talk  15:07, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * If i rename the Uuserdata file back into UserData, will this error be fixed, or will the game load for                         hours again??? D: EclipseCookie 09:13, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Renaming game files and folders is very inadvisable, but if you already did, the only possible way to fix it is to rename it back. But if it doesn't help, you must reinstall it. But first, where is the directory of that folder?  Nikel  Talk  11:10, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sim Disappered- One of my sims completely disappeared. Before he disappeared, his picture on the side of the screen was nothing but a blank green background. I thought nothing of it and saved and quit my game for the day. The next day thought, when I went to play the game, his picture wasn't there at all, and couldn't find his sim anywhere! Just before I saved the game the night before, he had gone to work at the hospital, so I watched the building for some time to see if his sim would appear. He never came up. All of his household members still have relationships with him, and his kids still get the wish "Get attention from Dad". It shows he is still alive on the family tree. I have been using the cheat testingCheatsenabled true lately to move townies into my house hold without have to build up their relationship to do so. If that is the reason that my game is glitching like this is their anyway to get my sim back? Also, he is still in the family portriat, so i dont think my game reads that he is for some reason no longer in my household. I tried resetsim to get him back, but nothing happened. 98.92.176.195 (talk) 15:31, August 4, 2012 (UTC)Liyah

Severe-ish Problem due to update.
Okay. I already mentioned this on my profile, but since I found this page, it might attract more attention.

I am very outdated with my The Sims 3 games - I have everything until Showtime. And I didn't update my game for a VERY long time.

So I got the new Patch 50 - the one that added Dumpster Diving (I think). Anyways, everything was fine until my cousin visited (not because he caused it). Here is a list of what had happened so far:

1. The game would crash. Then it would bring me to my computer's home screen and say something about a debug.

2. My Sim's character portrait (the small box on the left) was acting spastically. One moment, it would display my Sim's picture normally, and then it would turn into static. Then it would change back, and then go into "static sim" again.

3. The Simology bar would vanish, and the screen will display lines of static on certain parts. The area your sim is in will still be visible (e.g. If your Sim was in Central Park, you can still see what the place looks like, and the sims can be seen) and when you click on something, you sim's head can be seen, but not the options will not.

4. Attempting to quit the game while in "static mode" will cause problems. You can hear the sounds when pressing Q, but no box will be seen.

Any help will be appreciated. :) SimAddict (talk) 11:06, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm sounds like it could be something to do with the compatibilty of the game and your computer. What make of computer do you have? (Is it an Acer, Ive heard they don't function correctly with the sims 3) try looking up glitches with your make of computer and any video games. The other problem could be your computer doesnt have enough RAM, Sims 3 requires a large amount of RAM due to the very high graphics (although you could change this by going into 'options' and lowering the 'visual graphics' then it will ask you to restart your game (close the game and opne it back up).

TS3 Patch 50 Bug
I only have Base Game. I've updated my game from Patch 1.42 to 1.50.

After installing the patch, I tested the game using a family I made, and here's what happened:

2. Other Sims in the household are not selectable.

3. All Sims are stuck. Even ResetSim cheat doesn't fix the problem.

3. Female Sim groans for hunger in a male voice.

4. No Sim relationships, even with family members (spouse, children). Only relationships with a vehicle.

whenever my sim gives birth or adopts a baby the baby invisible? please help as its really annoying!!): —Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.132.154 (talk • contribs)  (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Invisable babies: (I've copied this off a yahoo answer)

Once you have your stick/invisible baby, press Ctrl + C and type in "TestingCheatsEnabled True" without the quotation marks. Then you Press Shift and Left click your child. Then press Trigger Age Transition. After your baby has it's birthday, have it go to the dresser and press Plan Outfit. When this screen loads, you will see your baby is wearing some weird shirt with a vampire face and no bottoms (or at least my did). Just pick a new outfit and save the changes! For some reason this outfit was set as the default so the babies will continue to be born like this, or at least that is my belief. I had 5 kids on my game before this started happening so to avoid this long process you're going to have to change the default outfits I suppose. As to how to do this, I haven't looked into it yet. Hope this works for you! Try it - 11normane —Preceding unsigned comment added by 11normane (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

The Sims 1: Ghost Glitch/Easter Egg?
Hi, I'm not sure if this is listed here already or not. On three occasions, I encountered a glitch or easter egg where I could control ghost characters in the first "The Sims" Game but I'm not sure how exactly to make it happen again. I had Macintosh versions which I played a lot at the time so I think it was in those versions.



Each time I encountered it, The sim who turned into a ghost was a female caucasian who was fat at least at one time and they all died in fires.



The first time, I had no expansion packs installed and I was saving the game after the character died then I thought "Oh no!" and pulled my computer's power plug so it wouldn't save. When I rebooted the game, The character was selectable as normal but was a ghost that I could control but she'd disappear if I didn't have her selected and doing something; I'd have to pause the game, Select her and then get her to do something to not disappear.



I encountered this a second time, I may have had the first one or two expansion packs installed at the time.



The third time, I at least had the first two expansion packs installed and I was playing with the Newbie family in tutorial mode to rack up simeloans. Then Betty accidentally died in a fire while wearing a thin skin/set of clothes and Bob lost pleading to the grim reaper. After that, I was playing for a while and accidentally hit the Escape key and exited the tutorial at which point Betty became selectable again but as a ghost and it was like the first and second times I encountered it; If Betty wasn't doing something she'd disappear so I'd have to pause the game and tell her to do something. On the plus side, These ghosts would not die in fires so they were great firefighters. Also, This may be an easter egg: If I had a ghost sim and I clicked on a tombstone (I don't think it mattered which one, I think I could click on any tombstone or urn to select this) there was a second option instead of "Mourn"; It was "Ghost Walk"! If you selected this with a ghost character, The character would act like a ghost does at midnight as usual in some sim nights playing The Sims. I've never heard talk of this anywhere else but haven't looked much, Is it known in the Sims community? 98.21.71.253 (talk) 04:50, June 17, 2013 (UTC)BarryFromMars - June 17, 2013

Click on Sim, but no options come up (Sims 3)
Help! I click on my sim, but no options come up, and I have no idea what to do. It won't let me use her cell phone from the inventory either. I've taken off testingcheatsenabled, and I have also used the resetsim (Firstname) (Lastname) cheat as well, which worked temporarily earlier (however, it doesn't work anymore), but I don't know what else to do. Please help! -Megan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.169.170 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

TS3 Alien Face Glitch
I found an alien in my pewdiepie household's back yard, and added it into my game. He went to university and had a wife after he graduated. After their marriage, whenever he exits a shower, his face turns into a sims face and I go into CAS and saw his icon at the bottom is a regular sim that is tan with brown hair. But what Peidax (the alien) looks like (his model on the right next to the clothing selection) is his alien self with the long average thin alien face. It started after he woohoed his wife and relaxed on the bed, he was still green, but his face is like a sim, then after a few seconds he reverts back to his old self. I desperately need an answer to this because I find it annoying. VERY annoying.- MintyMousse —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.179.61 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Started new section
I wanted my teen sim to become pregnant so i did the cheat "testingcheatsenabled true" then clicked edit sim in creator mood to change her from being a teen to an adult ,I made the 2 sims try for a baby but now it wont let me click edit sim in creator mode to change her back to a teen:o 2.31.165.45 (talk) 17:32, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it's because the Sim is currently pregnant? You're not supposed to do that in order to make your teen pregnant.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  18:12, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

I'll start a new game and move in a family. As long as I keep playing they can earn skills such as logic, cooking, ect. but if I save and quit and play again nothing goes up. The skill bar just stays in place frozen no matter how long they continue the activity. This happens with every skill and if they start a new one it won't go up or takes an unusually long time to increase. Any clue how to fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.41.168 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Into the Future glitch
I've been playing the sims 3 into the future for a while now, and I actually have two glitches. 1. Whenever I bring plumbots back to the present, they cannot be interacted with, and sometimes the inventory glitches to other sims and has a chance to COMPLETLY remove everything from every inventory of the household.

2. My sims cannot interact with one another. I tried everything from reseting sims to removing the household and replacing them with the same one. Nothing works! I susspect it's because I've been playing all day. I'l test it out tonight. I'll reply to this message if it works.

If you have a fix or anything, PLEASE let me know. My game is not very fun with these glitches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.37.147 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Ummm, my into the future family portrait rotated itself. I have no idea how this happened. Um, I have no idea what to do with this family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.37.147 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Yes, the same thing had happened to me. When the family portrait rotates, just ignore it. It will probably return to normal after a while. Nothing serious. Joey.eyeball (talk) 04:30, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

Got Into the Future for my birthday and found a doozy of a glitch where returning to the future for a second trip has no Sim portraits, no wishes, no LTW, no moodlets, and the Simology and other tabs can't be opened, the game also lags and the Sims sometimes slide around not even animating.75.97.199.174 (talk) 20:11, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

Baby Glitch
Has anyone seen a glitch with a baby that has a random color on its arms and chest? (sims 3) and/or the baby filling your whole screen/ stretching up as tall as a full grown sim?98.220.221.3 (talk) 07:37, November 28, 2013 (UTC)Wonderfilled

Sometimes, a minor glitch occurs after Sim's changes or similar. Example: Baby born, changed a Sim's clothes or hair, family member grew up. The glitch is that sometimes the family portrait rotates and/or a Baby, Toddler, Child, and Teenager is stretched to a Young Adult or Adult's height. All you need to do is return to the family, save, and go back to Edit Town. The portrait should of changed. And about the colours on its arms and chest, sorry, I don't know anything about that.

Whenever my sims walk or even stand still a black square follows them under their feet, but it stops when I go outside. It even happens when making a new family. what do I do?-ebony —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.211.27 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

sometimes the baby takes up the screen on the portraits because of the clothes its wearing are for adults and I got them of the exchange for adults so you just have wait till there a child to change their clothes.

Toddler Glitch
I've noticed that in the sims 3 pets for Xbox 360, there is a rather strange glitch. Get a toddler and a dog. Make the dog sniff the toddler over and over agauin, until the action begins to be rejected. Sometimes, the toddler will stretch up like an adult sim and "scold" the animal.

University boyfriend added to household PLEASE HELP!!
In the sims 3 university life I made 3 girls. 2 of them got boyfriends at university. When the term was over and I went home, 1 of the boyfriends were added to my household. I had full control over him and I didn't want that. So I kicked him out and thought the problem was solved. When I went back to university, the other boyfriend were added to my household, and since we are in university, I cant kick him out. I guess I could just kick him out when we get home, but I have a feeling its not how to solve the problem. And, if I kick him out at home, im pretty sure he wont be going back to university. Please help me someone, I don't know if its a glitch or how to fix it. I would really appreciate any help. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.166.156.34 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
