Bridgeport features several major flaws in its construction. Firstly, EA has managed to build two identical roads directly on top of one another in one particular area. This mistake confuses the routing system, slowing down performance and forcing cars and Sims to move about the world in sometimes strange ways. Secondly, there are small patches of routable terrain in the hills near the radio towers. NPCs and townies get stuck in these patches. These trapped Sims constantly try to walk somewhere, and this can cause slowness and lag. Eventually these trapped Sims die of starvation. The third issue is the routing when traveling in groups. The leader of the group will use the subway, though the others might choose to walk, even if the destination is very far. For these reasons, Bridgeport's performance will always be substandard unless the town is fixed in a patch, or via [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=452601 mods].

Another problem has been reported by some players that they can't build a [[SimBot]] in Bridgeport, because the option menu to "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" at the [[Workbenches|Workbench]] isn't available. This makes Sims who already have a lifecore in their inventory unable to complete the opportunity even if they are moved to another world like [[Twinbrook]], because the lifecore is still stuck there and can't be removed normally. A game [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=437402 mod] has been created to fix this problem, it will make the "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" option will be available again.

* Many players believe Bridgeport has a similar appearance to [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]], [[wikipedia:Detroit|Detroit]], and other major American cities. The bridge bears a faint resemblance to the Brooklyn Bridge. However, [[EA]] has stated it is not based upon New York City.<ref>[[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter]]</ref> Graham Nardone stated that Bridgeport is loosely based on Pittsburgh as inspiration.<ref>[http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/5959461537_daecde5736.jpg Graham's Tweet]</ref> Rebecca Shearin notes that the overall location is based in the Pacific Northwest.<ref>[http://rjshearin.com/uploads/3/4/6/8/34680150/frontpage05_lg.jpg Bridgeport development image]</ref>

* Smuggler's Cove hasmay have a connection to [[Barnacle Bay]].{{Confirm}}

* Around Bridgeport are many roads which sink into the sea and one of the roads leading out of the city is cut off by a landslide. This hints towards a possible earthquake that occurred before the game's start, a possible  reference to the 1989 San Francisco Earthquake.

* According to the description of the building where the "Mixture of Good and Bad" household lives, the Off Ramp Building is the only apartment that was spared during the bridge construction  at the time. This could tell that there could have been a lot of apartments around that area but was demolished due to the architectural design of the bridge. Fortunately, the design was changed and the Off Ramp building is safe though the apartments around is already gone.  The last building to be demolished was the building beside the Off Ramp which was used to be favored by tourists before the demolition.
