* Sims may accidentally cut off an important part of their topiary sculpture (i.e. the head) near completion, reducing the value of the sculpture. This can be avoided with the Savvy Sculptor trait, as Sims with this trait will never decapitate their sculptures.

* Metal is one of the riskiest to deal with, as a Sim operates a blowtorch that can [[Fire|ignite the Sim]] and lead to [[death]] if no other Sims are available to help or there isn't a shower near to put out the fire. The same risk is present during [[inventing]], and occurs regardless of the Sims' sculpting skill level.

* An ice sculpture can collapse midway through sculpting, destroying it. In addition, it is also possible to end up sculpting the Goblin Ice Sculpture instead of a posing Sim; the sculpture will be worth less than expected, and the blunder may negatively affect the Sims' relationship with the Sim who posed for the sculpture. Sometimes Sims will lick the block of ice before sculpting, sometimes their tongue will get stuck, and on rare occasions freeing the tongue shatters the block into a completed sculpture.

* Stone blocks may contain [[Gem collecting|raw gems]] or [[Metal collecting|metals]] which can be found midway through sculpting. The discovery of the item comes at the cost of losing the stone sculpture which is being worked on.
