===Tutorial glitch===
In The Sims Medieval, if the player replaces a graphics card or updates the video driver, the player will be forced to redo the Tutorial. It can be fixed by editing the Options.ini file to disable the Tutorial.
===Make War Face===
[[File:Action issue.png|thumb|left|Screenshot showing the Sim unable to use the Practice War Face interaction.]]
In [[The Sims Medieval: Pirates and Nobles]], there is a responsibility that requires a Sim to Practice War Face. However, Make War Face interaction requires very high relationship which only works when the Sim is Best Friend. This makes it impossible to complete the responsibility in Time if the Sim is not a Best Friend. The mentioned glitch can be found here, http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7519847.page#16689337
