Maybe if I made a list of glitches that people are having then maybe they can realize they aren’t the only ones having the same problems. [Made upon request]…
- Decreasing/increasing body weight on my Sim in CAS, the body parts detach from the whole Sim. For example, when I’m increasing body weight, the Sim’s torso detaches from the body. Likewise, while I’m decreasing the body weight, the Sim’s torso moves away from the rest of the body. Another glitch/bug is that when I increase my Sim’s muscle mass in CAS, there is no visible change.
- Changing the category of clothing, Sim’s hair color changes, Sim gets a different hairstyle, Sim gets added accessories, and Sim’s eyebrows change.
- The cheapest shower’s arrow ‘faces’ the wrong direction, It’s supposed to point where you enter from but is on the wrong side.
This makes it annoying while building a small house, I didn’t pay a maid $125, so he went to steal a chair.
BUT now the chair is “attached” with the desk… and on the desk was a laptop…
I owed him $125 and he took over $5500 worth… - Audio making weird crazy noises.
- Applied for a job in the athletic career, there’s this spot by the stadium that won’t go away.
- Random single males have babies with no mothers.
- The game randomly deletes families and asexually reproduces kids with no explanations.
- Children moved out of the house, took a life of their own with story progression off.
- You CAN toggle the family, but when you go back to the original it will have changed. Some Sims may not even be there, or have new kids…and your saved wished and promises will be gone.
- Can get to Create- a-Sim for a while, 10 minutes or so, computer screen turns black and system shuts down.
- Female character had a small glitch in moodlet panel, the “Cozy Fire” moodlet when the family did not have a fireplace.
- This only seems to affect the mom Sim. Once mom had her first baby, she would pretend to hold an infant, and when sitting or laying down she would alternate between the correct position and a standing position. There were some spacial issues while she attempted to train her toddler to walk for the first time.
- Roofs are disappearing after modifying house.
- Hair disappearing.
- Game going black, causing computer to freeze.
- Negative moodlet fails to leave after 10 minutes.
- Halfway through loading the screen start blinking and goes into a blinking version of the Create-a-Sim mode where it will continue to blink. [Sounds like a graphics card problem.]
- Protesters are blocking the walkway, other Sims can’t/won’t move around them.
- Taught a toddler to talk and now neither her or the mom can do anything except sit there, frozen.
- Having troubles downloading; says the code was ‘already used or invalid’.
- Baby bottle that can’t be deleted or a Sims can’t pick it up. [There's a cheat code that can fix this one.]
- Had a paper to recycle and threw it away in trash can then all of a sudden there’s a message saying that the Sims was being inappropriate and was kicked out of the house and was told to leave making the Sims hate that Sim.
- Sim put on formal wear to go to bed and bathing suit to go out. When told to change into a certain outfit, it still doesn’t work. [This is only a bug/glitch if you don't have the Insane Trait for your Sim.]
- Time controls not changing.
- The television never cuts off even in ‘buy/build mode’ or when the game is paused, the television even still have sound coming from it.
- Families losing cars.
- Sims getting stuck in showers.
- Carpool still arrives even when Sims have a car. Sometimes the Sims would leave from work carpool but it would take a cab with the carpool sitting next to the cab.
- Download manager isn’t managing [working].
- Okay, I got my Sim to call up on a maid, and as she came (and actually wrecked the house), I decided to go get some groceries (they were holding a sale or something). As my Sim was walking to the grocery store, the maid said she was done and was leaving.So my Sim got all the goods and such. When I tried directing him home, I noticed something funny on the map. When I clicked on the green house sign, it said “No interactions available.” Huh? It’s my own house!When my Sim came back he was as dumbfounded as me as to how to get inside his house when the game didn’t think it was his. He knew it was his house though, and recycled the newspapers outdoors (neat trait).
- Cutting ‘Story Progression’ to ‘off’ does not work.
- When the pizza is delivered and my Sim wants to try to eat it, but no table space anywhere and it goes into inventory, but in the inventory when I click “Grab a Slice” My Sim will go to the closest table and go into an infinite loop of finding table space, look at yummy pizza, no table space -> put into inventory -> repeat.
- The Story Progression toggle is broken – it is on whether you want it on or not.
- Crazy endless spawning of babies in households that I am not playing.
- Single men all of a sudden have a baby on their porch.
- Family households that are not being played will all of a sudden have some single Sim move in with them.
- Guitars get stuck to Sims in very odd positions.
- Girl Sim stands up in the middle of her bed and her arms are posed as if she is holding a baby, and then she snaps back to bed for a few seconds, and repeats.
- Saves don’t function on all parts of a lot or family: If you switch from one active family to another, you cause everything in Personal Inventory of family A to be sold, and give you the appropriate funding, unless it’s a used item, such as a laptop or a guitar, which stays. This includes the Lifetime Reward “Collection Helper” (the $6000 is NOT compensation IMO).
- Turning off aging is buggy: The time bar ’til next age will fill randomly, but they will not age, and it will reload when next you go to Map View.
- Experiment Auras will not always show (Going to Map View and coming back will fix this).
- Sim and her toddler are floating in space next to my house. They are selectable, but they can’t move anywhere.
- When you have a toddler sitting on the floor watching TV, and the parents are also watching the TV. They are talking back and forth. When the toddler speaks it’s upper body stretches.
- Taught a toddler to talk and now neither her or the mom can do anything except sit there, frozen.
- Items purchased with Sim Points through the TS3 store disappearing after downloading and installing requiring them to be re-downloaded and reinstalled.
- Entire families disappearing and reappearing from the Main Menu.
- Lighthouse not seen anywhere in map view appears in view from my Sim’s lot.
- Message telling you that bills are due, but no mail being delivered. Or bills already paid not being “credited”.
- Items that I never bought or downloaded from the store are showing up in my account history purchases list.
- Unable to ride bike after purchasing in Buy mode. Message appears saying that no interactions are available.
- All color disappearing from household items that have been designed/recolored.
- I’ve tried running the game in windowed mode and it likes to freeze up on me. The game will lock up for a minute or two and then unfreeze only to freeze up when I click on another command. I didn’t notice it last night while playing but this morning it happened constantly while in build mode.
- So basically, I’ve been downloading clothes and hairstyles off the sims 3 website for my sims and i find that when i go to try the custom content on it keeps closing down back to windows but its still at the bottom so I can click back on it. I got used to this because it closes down for each item and then it works, But if i go to a wardrobe and do it or a mirror and i also have the ‘testingcheatsenabled true’ cheat also.
- TEENAGER disappeared, when the police took him because he was hanging out too late. To be exact, when he and the policeman were in the car, instead of starting the car (with those two inside it) disappeared and I couldn’t anymore find my teenager boy anywhere or even call him.
- Well my problem is whenever I am playing after a certain amount of time my game stops and just pretend my sims was saying hello the game would go ” he . . he . . . he . . .” etc and go back to the desktop with no error reports or nothing just as if nothing has happened. Also when i return back to the desktop all my icons are big and everything is in such low quality ! i try to click back on the game but it says something like ” video / graphics card not found please check system.
- When in build/buy mode, this happens 10 times more. Esp. when a you’ve entered a cheat.:The game freezes. As you wait, it gets worse. You are unable to move the mouse. All sound messes up. This makes a sound before it goes silent. Kinda like a record stopping. Next, the BSoD comes and states: An error has occurred. You may want to uninstall any recently installed programs.
When i go back to play mode I cant click on anything, all I can do it teleport and if I click on another Sim I can make them have a birthday or add them to my family.
- I had a family of a mom a daughter and the mom’s boyfriend. I moved the mom’s boyfriend into his own house. The mom and the boyfriend had a baby together. I went to change households and I wanted the boyfriend to be the active household. Except when I went to his house, no one lived there. I went to his son’s family tree and it still said he was alive. He isn’t in any of the relationships but he is still on a family tree.
- I had a family of with a man and a woman, they were totally in love and had already three kids, but the option to get them married or even dating simply NEVER APPEARED! So anyone else could flirt with them and they didn’t mind
I had another family that had six kids. I moved two of the older kids out when they were young adults and then I didn’t play with the family for a while. I just got back to the family today and sure enough a set of twins and another son is gone.
I have no idea what to do! They were only toddlers and they are literally just disappearing. I know it’s not something with me saving the game because there are younger siblings on the game.
Some of these sound like computer issues and not the game others sound like glitches due to the computer and well so on and so forth. Hopefully, EA will come through with that ‘Same day patch’ before people start flipping over cars and setting their houses on fire. [I mean in the Sims game.]

I cannot advance in my relationships. It just says romantic interest. I cannot ask them to move in, be a couple, or get married.
What are your Sim’s Traits? Certain traits can make it impossible for them to advance in relationships.
Whenever my sim is on the second floor, she sometimes (more often than not) melts through the floor, and sometimes even stops halfway through. She hasn’t gotten stuck there (yet) and it’s more of a hassle than a problem. This started right after I reset her
So are you Kathryn or Alyson now? Anyway, you may have to reinstall the game.
I just had a baby. I think my sim may be having another one. She was going to throw up, but instead she went outside and jumped into the pool in her everyday clothes. Another problem is her voice it changed a couple days after she aged. It’s really deep and she sounds like a man….
I honestly don’t understand what’s causing that.
ok so theres always that new game upsate for the sims 3. this has happened a few times. whenever i download that update i cant download anything from the sims store or exchange or even play the sims. and sometimes the screen during the game gets cut off or goes to the side and i can barely see the icons of my sims. after i download the update i press play but the page just goes black and it does that blue circle (loading). any help? i dont wana unistall my game AGAIN.
What are your system specs??
So I have this family who have 4 kids and they moved in with each other and i cant go into buy/build mode because “my family is in the process of moving?” but nothing is happening and my kids are extremely depressed because i cant get them beds…and my couple cannot get married no matter how much they are in love ..they are just romantic interest? Can someone help me?!
If you installed the latest patches and or you have the expansion pack, the problem lies within there. At the moment there hasn’t been any solutions to that type of issue except for uninstalling then reinstalling the game and playing without the patches.
i was just playing a new family (young adult living on her own) but i tried lots to save the game but it kept saying something like error and read the viewme/readme file?
if anyone could help i would really appreciate it, thanks
The only thing I can tell you about that is wait til EA can fix it. That error message is something that EA was supposed to had fixed with all of those patches. I guess you’ll have to wait until another patch comes out. Sorry.
One of my families, whenever I play on them, as I go to the map view, all the neighboorhoods houses aren’t appearing, it’s a gray terrain, and I can’t go visit them. But it only happens in one family, I dunno why.
Delete that family.
DO NOT USE THE RESETSIM CHEAT. DO NOT USE IT, IT IS A VIRUS. IT WILL QUIT SIMS AND RESTART YOUR COMPUTER EVERY TIME YOU TRY AND GO INTO SIMS:(
LMAO! A virus? That’s just your computer crashing on you because you probably don’t meet the requirements or you have too much CC installed. If its a virus and you have a virus protection, its doing a horrible job ‘protecting’.
the sim had babies but they wont age. all 3 stay at 3 days till aging but they never do. this has been going on for weeks
Is aging somehow off?
hey i recently got the sims 3 world adventured expantion pack and installed it and everything was fine when i played it. That was a couple weeks ago and now i try to play the game and whenever i go into build mode to make a pool or a basement the game just closes. it worked fine before. i downloaded some custom content before i played the game so i thought that might be the reason maybe i got a corrupt file or something so i took off all custom content except this one house that i downloaded a while ago and i tried again to see if it would work. same thing happened. when i try to make a pool or basement in one of the houses the game created it works fine but for ANY custom content house it just crashes. it never did this before so does anyone have any suggestions? i uninstalled and re installed the games twice and nothing worked. thanks for your help
You may have to remove that one house and do a clean uninstall when you uninstall. Instead of ‘keeping your saves and etc’ you should just let the game get a full uninstall. It just might work then.
I have a horrible Glitch where the one toddler is stuck and i can’t get her to move or do anything and her hunger and everything keeps getting lower and lower and i don’t want her to die can someone help me out ?
If you haven’t already, try the reset sim cheat. ‘resetsim [sim's full name here].
during my game the sound randomly cut out, i checked all the sound setting and they’re fine, the sound on my laptop is fine too, but on the game i cant hear a thing. then minutes later my main sim completely vanished. it still had the sim diamond above where they were last, and i could still control them, but i would select something for them to interact with and they wouldnt do it or even move and remained invisible. i have restarteed my comp. several times and this still occurs. i was told to wait untill there were sims 3 updates available, but i want to play now!
I don’t have a clue what happened to your sound but have you tried the resetsim cheat? Maybe resetting your Sim will make your Sim reappear.
I have the same issue as Rachel, in that my sim just lost it’s 3rd trait. I leveled as a teen and got one extra, but can’t seem to recover the lost trait.
This is one of twins and the other no longer goes to school as there are apparently no schools in the area. Saves me lots of time, but will probably bite me in the ass choosing a trait for adulthood, we’ll see. The only difference is that this one is a ghost after an unfortunate drowning incident.
(Don’t leave kids unattended in a pool!)
A guitar is stuck in my sim’s inventory and the hand cursor doesn’t appear every time I try to take it out.
Can anyone help?
