I've read the list of reported bugs so far, and I'd like to report that I too have lost all my cell phone pictures when I returned from University. And I am also experiencing a decrease in my academic performance when I'm not studying or in class (not skipping class).
I also had a few roommates in the sorority house who would sometimes attend to their needs and sleep in their bed and go to the bathroom, but other times the same sim would just pass out on the floor or pee themselves, despite there being enough beds and bathrooms in the house.
I also had a different maid issue than reported thus far. While in university my Sim stayed in the Sorority house, and I hired a maid, but two maids would come everyday, and each would charge me the daily fee. I didn't mind much because the place was a mess and benefited from double maids, but thought I'd report it.
Cheers,
