Why can't Sims Buy or Rent Snowboard/Skis/Sled?

I normally have debug on because of picking up stuff for spellcasters, and sleds, snowboards and skiis are in there. I sent one sim to the mountain, had him try to buy equipment from the Bits and Bobbles vending machine. It ended up STEALING my sim's money as it "got stuck" and no amount of pushing it would make it unstuck. That's when I said to "he**" with this and bought them in buy debug.
