Bug tracking My Wedding Stories

Answers HQ does a much better job at this than I will, I'm sure, but I thought it might be useful to have a thread here for forum users wanting to keep track of all the MWS bugs in one place. I am following all of these on Answers HQ and will update this OP as those bugs are updated.
(I really want the new world but don't want to buy the pack when it's this buggy so I care about this...)

Please post replies with other MWS bugs, WITH a link to their thread on Answers HQ, and I'll add them to the OP here.
If they don't yet have a thread on Answers HQ please create one and post the link. That site is how EA gathers info on what bugs exist and how many people are affected. You can vent here if you like but it won't affect EA's decisions unless you also post or "Me Too" over there.
If you think a "Minor Bug" ought to be "Major" then go to Answers HQ and click "Me Too". Eventually it will get to be over 20 people and make it into the Major category.


**Major bugs-- affecting more than 20 people**

- Basegame wedding interactions including "Call Off the Wedding" are missing with MWS installed https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-MWS-Call-Off-the-Wedding-interaction-missing/m-p/11318464/highlight/true#M208214 <- See the fix described in the link here by 83bienchen, thank you

- Tea sets disappear when leaving the lot

--- If you have this bug, please send saves to SimQARobo using the instructions in the thread so EA can work on it!
--- According to EA_Cade, this is being worked on, but they haven't been able to replicate the issue yet.
--- Workaround from Stormkeep: Keep using the tea set every day or two, seems to keep it "fresh".

**Minor bugs-- affecting fewer than 20 people**
