Well, it happened once before when I had started a new game. My sim had a horse and then the icon for her a was the horse and it never switched. I deleted that family because I just started it.
Oh and I have a couple custom content but I generally do not get alot because I have had problems with it before. I actually do not know what a mod is though.
Does sound like the game corrupted.
How long have you been playing that game ?
I made it a couple months ago but I just started replaying it two or three days ago, after I got another issue with sims 3 fixed.
Do you have a backup you could try ?
If you use save the game automatically makes one. It has the extension .backup. Removing .backup from the file name should active it (you need to rename the corrupt one first)
Hmmm, I will check.

I had this happen too. The culprit for me was leaving the testingcheatsenabled on cheat during play time.
