@Seera1024, one knows their game is tied to Origin if you click on your shortcut and have to log in to Origin to play. Before they decided to tie the game to Origin no one had to log in to Origin to play. Some may never log out of Origin when they are done playing, it will stay in the taskbar tray (probably hidden, running in the background).

What I mentioned are all bugs that were patched years ago but some came back through the comp packs from the EA store downloader and I always knew that. However, it's funny to me with as much cc I have (none newly added) and just applying my last save to the pc after installing Origin on a diff pc and downloading the newly patched TS2UC they appear. It's like bam here's you some bugs. Even in newly created hoods and households. The only difference here is a diff pc, and having to log in to the 'patched' TS2UC.

I play my Sims 3 and Sims 4 through Origin so I don't close or log out of Origin. If it was an actual patch, I have it as Origin forces you to download patches unless you go offline first and I don't have to do that for Sims 2. I did sign out just see and I do have to be logged into Origin for it to launch. I even deleted groups.cache to make sure I didn't have a coincidental groups.cache corruption.

I'm not saying that the bugs you've had aren't present in your game. Just that they aren't in mine. But that's the annoying nature of bugs.

Oh how I wish EA would have done a final few patches for each of their series before leaving them for the next.
