My Game is Getting Weird

Yep, the last patch definitely added more glitches to my game. I was playing my new family in Brindleton Bay Saturday, and their cat was running in a tight circle in the kitchen. At first I though she was simply playing as she has the frisky trait, but then I realized she was stuck. I reset her and all went back to normal for about ten minutes when I saw her suddenly drop below floor level. She looked like a ferret as she ran around the house. The top of her head, body and tail were there, but her legs were below the floor. Very weird. The wife is a level 10 gardener and teleports between her planter boxes and fruit trees when directed to harvest. The husband is fine. But he's away from the home lot more than the wife and cat as he is in the military career. I have found some of my CC decor items are suddenly missing their footprints and can't be placed. Items like rugs, pictures and decorative boxes are afflicted. These were fine before the patch. There is a problem when entering a community lot where a message pops up saying there are items missing because I don't own certain packs. Thanks to Origin's bundling discounts the only pack I don't own now is Vampires. And when I do go to play that lot all the items are there in plain sight. Meal times are driving me nuts. My Sims sit at the table and stare at the far wall, acting as if they are watching TV. If they eat together they talk to one another and finish eating in a few minutes. If they eat alone, it takes hours before their plate is empty unless I cancel the eat action in their queue then click on the plate again. However, some of the glitches/irritations I had in the game seem to be fixed since the patch. The happy couple went out to dinner to celebrate his newest promotion and they had a great time. The staff acted like staff, their meal was of excellent quality and no one in the restaurant was playing musical chairs or wearing outlandish outfits. It was amazing. The first time I have enjoyed taking my Sims out to eat. My Sims are using their hot tub on their own, too. I know I don't have a mod for that. Given the number of mods I do have, I passed on adding another that forces Sims to use the hot tub. But they do enjoy woohooing in that hot tub whenever they flirt with one another. Even if it is cold and raining. LOL

Patches are a bit like playing Russian Roulette. You never know if bugs will be fixed, or past fixes will get broken again. All I know is the latest one added a couple more bugs while fixing a couple I had been using mods for. I didn't make much headway in the bugs and glitches department this time around.
