Tip: There's already ALOT of info on glitches, how to fix, how to report them and more on EA's Possible Bugs forum. The Sims Wiki recommend that you check there first.
Causes
Glitches in The Sims series of games can be caused by any of the following:
Hardware problems: A malfunctioning computer component or a computer that does not meet minimum game requirements.
Severity
Many glitches are so minor that they can be ignored, even if they occur often. Some glitches, while they do not corrupt any game data, may make the game partially or completely unplayable. Examples of these include graphical errors that cause the game to not render or display correctly. The most severe glitches may corrupt saved game data or cause a CTD (Crash To Desktop). Severe glitches also include Save game errors; bugs that can prevent a game from being saved.
Below is a list of how The Sims Wiki classifies glitches for use on this page:
Severity
Examples
Corrupting saved games, unable to save & CTD's.
Glitches requireing quitting without saving, unable to progress in oppertunity, adventure or career.
Avoidable features not working, causing game lag, minor annoyances.
Graphical abnormalities, no impact on gameplay.
Please note that glitches are sorted by severity first!
Important: If you want to add a glitch please go to the talk page and see if someone has already reported it. If multiple people are experiencing the same bug it can be added to the lists. Reference a website which reports this glitch is a huge plus.
Unable to use CAW. Electronic Arts has confirmed the bug. Temporary fix: Uninstall The Sims 3 and re-install The Sims 3 and Create a World, but do NOT install Patch 12.
This can happen if you go too far into a tomb or teleport there without having the appropriate adventure. It is unlikely that this will be fixed by official patches. Fix:AwesomeMod fixes similar issues, but if you are already experiencing the bug there is a guide in the references.
The 'Town Theatre' and the Riverview spa and school were impossible to capture, but EA fixed that in Patch 9. Motives which continue to be uncaptureable are the Dropa Stone relic collection. Fix: Follow the link for a mod which fixes this glitch.
The game is supposed to return items to you which haven't been sold within 5 days, but it does not work. Instead the items start counting down into the minusses, preventing you from opening the buy menu. Temporary fix: This can be fixed temporarily by cancelling your consignments. You will need to repeat this step every 5 days.
Save game errors 12, 13 & 16 which prevents games from saving in The Sims 3. This was introduced in World Adventures. Fix:Patch 7 was released to fix this problem and Patch 8 introduced a recovery prompt for already corrupted games.
