San Myshuno fills with dishes, trash, and urns, that cannot be cleaned up and eventually crash the game due to too many objects.
This is an old bug from 2018 that has newly become more frequent for people since the Oct 22 pre-LD update: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-CL-San-Myshuno-full-of-Litter/td-p/7123323

To be perfectly honest, mightysprite can't even tell what the problem is here, but people posted many images on the bug thread and 30 people so far have reported it, so it should qualify for the How Broken Is It thread. You can look at the pictures and judge for yourself if it would bother you.
And now, the mightysprite analysis: should we buy it?
I'm gonna say YES, But:
Rebirth is not going to be a very important feature for my gameplay personally.
And, I think it's actually kind of awesome that sims who are into deathly stuff might have trouble maintaining their relationships on this mortal plane.
(Plus, I just can't see the ear thing. I've tried. Multiple times. I'm like that guy from Mallrats who just cannot see the Magic Eye picture.)
Simmers who plan to use rebirth a lot, and/or want their macabre sims to still be able to function in the PTA meeting and country club (or at least in their marriages to normies), might want to wait until these bugs are fixed.
The San Myshuno litter bug though: I'm gonna say, GAH. After the overlapping festivals bug, too. The neighborhood has taken a turn. Unfortunately, that's a basegame update bug, and cannot be avoided by avoiding the pack.
