There is a glitch which can cause the [[maid]] to get stuck in the shower while cleaning it.
 
Shower/tubs from ''[[The Sims: Vacation|Vacation]]'' and ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'' can get stuck in a dirty state.
 
If someone bulldozes every house in a neighbourhoodneighborhood, there may be save game errors and promotion (or job) stalling.
 
Building a certain, unusual kind of house may (or '''will''') lead to all computer-generated artificial intelligence to grind to a halt, even if Free Will is turned on.{{confirm}}
 
For an unknown reason, all Sims living in a neighbourhoodneighborhood may be "wiped out," quite literally. Although the empty houses will still have objects inside, there will be no signs of life left (unless one creates more Sims). However, tombstones will spawn family members of families in the Family Bin instead of actual ghosts at night.{{confirm}}
 
Sometimes, the rake may stick to a Sim's hand after gardening and follow him/her along all daily activities. Exiting to the neighborhoods may fix this, or you can evict that Sim and move he/she to new residential lot. However, if you save the game after the rake stuck, you may only evict him/her.
 
It seems that hiring the [[Butler]] and having [[Servo]] in your house may cause the [[Gardener]] to become immobile as soon as she appears on the sidewalk. The [[Gardener]] usually becomes static for a period of time before leaving.
