My report:
I was playing offline as I was planning to stay un-patched until NRaas had a chance to update all his mods I do use. So I'd been following ZooProfessor3's building course and made a house to go with CFE arches, then deleted the foundation to make a house in a hill. The house was fine while playing with my test sim offline un-patched in a builder's blank version of Riverview (no other Sims or houses). The I got greedy because I saw the free store content of the panda cot and giraffe measuring thing...
I pulled my mods folder out of my Sim3 folder (later realising that this could break some of my saves including my legacy family as I didn't follow your instructions for uninstalling them and I do have NRaas' Careers and Career Data School, as well as MissyHissy's mods using Careers and Career Data School... I've not played them yet though, so will hope for the best!); and copied my saves to my desktop (again later realising I should have copied my whole Sims3 folder) and put in the patch.
I'd copied the house I'd been working on to my bin so I could test it with a family in a populated world and chose Monte Vista. I have experienced the following bugs:
The Sims couldn't use the bookshop (I didn't realise till later this was caused by the bug when someone else said so and just put it down to the combined bookstore/bistro. I went into Edit town and replaced the combined rabbit hole with the Sunset Valley ones and have been able to use the bookstore, not tried the bistro.)
Guest Sims at a party were entering the house from the lower floor, walking across to the birthday cake, not up the stairs, then turning to walk to a table to sit at to eat, not down the stairs. Which was very MC Esher like.
At the same party, guests leaving became stuck deep in the ground, not where I'd adjusted the ground heights - I pulled them out with Move Objects On; a few sim days later, one of the family vanished when leaving the lot and was also deep in the ground, however she then appeared again and got into a taxi.
One time, the personal inventories of the 3 Sims in the household (2 young adults and one child) appeared as only containing a high school diploma and baseball - the parents' diplomas had been put on the wall and of course the child should not have had a diploma.
I clicked on the fridge (it's The Fresher Refrigerator) to 'open fridge' and got an inventory for a bookcase. They could all 'eat leftovers'.
Possible bugs:
They seem to skill quickly.
Despite 5 'try for baby' attempts, there have been no baby chimes, nor is the mum pregnant.
The adults have had routing issues, however my randomly created family has 2 insane sims and one poor child with no routing issues...
