** As we all wish this were the truth, it isn't. Examples include the family bin delete button, the ability to move occupied lots into the lot bin, the ability to date the [[Social Worker]], etc. Those are things you can do without the help of cheats, mods, or hacks, and they will cause corruption.

**As mentioned above, "'''not all listed symptoms may mean corruption'''". Thought/speech bubbles with squiggly lines in them have been sighted in clean, healthy neighborhoods as well. Some symptoms of corruption are also seen with poorly made custom content or hacks. As long as you never attempt the actions listed in this article, and as long as you routinely clean it with the HoodChecker, it should last a very long time.

**A glitch used to exist in the game that causes pregnant Sims shipped in the family bin to carry babies with ''incorrect character data''. Both [[Samantha Ottomas]] and [[Sarah Crittur]] suffered from this glitch. The [[The Sims 2: Seasons/patch|Seasons patch]] fixed this problem in both Samantha and Sarah. However, it only fixes instances of these families in neighborhoods first opened after the patch is installed, including neighborhoods that shipped with Seasons or later expansion packs but that were not opened until after the patch was applied. Instances of the family in neighborhoods that were opened before the patch was applied will have the wrong family tree.

**If you have the unpatched Ottomas/Crittur family, and Samantha/Sarah has not yet given birth, use the [http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,100226.0.html InSIMenator] or [http://simmanipulator.forumotion.com/t7-download-the-sim-manipulator Sim Manipulator] to terminate the pregnancy.

**[[Compilations of The Sims 2|''The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection'']] contains all patches, so there's no need to terminate the pregnancy if you have it.
