Bugs And Glitches-Cottage Living

For once I'm not being hit with a ton of bugs; I have the gardening bug under control, but now I'm having routing issues. Especially the weird teleportation one. I have two main Sims living in the world. One is in a house I built, the other Sim is living in a Maxis house on the main street in the downtown neighborhood. The Maxis built house has a multi-level yard but no stairs inside the house itself. The Sim living in this house is teleporting from his front porch to the chicken coop every time I send him out to take care of his chickens. Then the game kind of lags for a few seconds. Very irritating. The Sim living in the house I built has not been afflicted. I am also seeing more lag happening while in build mode, and again when I exit build mode. This can be taken care of if I do a fresh save, but these are glitches I have never had before. They didn't start until I installed Cottage Living. Neither house has the wild foxes challenge either. And the little place by the waterfalls is also glitchy. I guess I'll just move my Sim out of the Maxis house, bulldoze that lot and build him a new house just to see if the multi-level yard is causing him to teleport from place to place. I suspect this is happening because of the new pond tool.
