Birthing Loop / Adoption Glitch

Hello hello To anyone reading this, and I hope that someone can help !
but So unfortunately in recent any sim who is in the process of giving birth is stuck continuiously giving birth - to no end. Clearly a glitch. And so pivot, If I ever go try to Adopt into the family, the Adoption person stays stuck on our sidewalk - and no further actions proceed. So I cant go into edit the town, change familys or hope for the best. Its either way - stuck :/ and now none of my familys can have generations 

Ive seen some similar issues online - but never any solutions other than delete the app and reInstall. I'd appreciate truly any further advice or solution !! 

Also oddly- Ive on my Newest mac downloaded sims, never been able to fish in the ocean ? SO For isla Paradiso too it really does damper things a bit. 

THANK YOUU ! ! ! Trulyy

    sqirtt  The infinite birthing loop is a known issue that doesn't have any good solutions outside of mods.  The mod that fixes it can't be discussed here due to raising the age rating, but it's from NRaas and starts with a W.  It works fine in the 64-bit Mac version of Sims 3, as do all other NRaas mods.

    The stuck adoption is also a known issue.  You could quit without saving and try again, hoping it works better next time.  But the best workaround is to use NRaas MasterController's Adopt command to bypass the EA version of adoption entirely.  You still get the same kid, just without the broken scenario.

    Now that you're in this situation, an MC town reset (click on City Hall and select NRaas > MC > Town Options > Reset Everything) may get you out of it, or you can quit without saving.

    I would strongly recommend using NRaas mods in general, to avoid these problems and others.  If you don't know where to start, here's a list of useful mods:

    The missing interactions on open water are a known issue in the 64-bit Mac version of Sims 3.  There's no fix, and the only (very limited) workaround is to try to click through another surface, for example the hull of a boat, to tell your sims what to do.
