Sprinkle-O-Matic 2001

Since the new patch update, my Sprinklers are breaking and causing puddles even though they are fully upgraded. I've also noticed any other appliances and such that's been upgraded have stopped functioning for the not breaking upgrades. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've even sold the ones I had and bought new ones and had my sim upgrade them and they are still breaking. This is a little unnerving for my garden sim. I hope there's going to be a fix for this soon.
