Another situation similar occurred to me again but this time with the potty animation. This was after I did a repair of the game. So here I was in salvadora trying to clear a path of vines with my hands when suddenly I was attacked by spiders. After that fiasco, my sim needed to go to the bathroom while his bathroom need was in the red, so I figured there are pee fertilize bushes scattered around the jungle I'll just click on the little toilet symbol on the needs page and he'll walk to the nearest bush and pee. The nearest bush was a few feet away but instead of pee-walking there, he pee walked straight passed it and every single one after that one. I was confused so I canceled the task but he kept on pee walking. I was beginning to think he'd pee walk all the way back home so I started to click on fertilize on the bushes but he wouldn't listen. The action queued but it never went through. Any and all actions were frozen and wouldn't go through including walk here or walk there. This is similar to my first problem. I guess I'm just unlucky to have encountered it again.
Edit: I have encountered another strange bug not long after that I can't seem to get rid of. Its the description window everytime you hover your mouse over an object, in my case its the double bed description. So basically, some objects that I hover over gives the double bed description. Say I hover over a painting or a glass of water or mounted fish on the wall, it will show the double bed description. I think I got this when I got a phone call while I was sleeping when someone asked me for a date at a bar. I accepted and in that instance when the phone call closed my mouse was over the bed where my sim was sleeping causing the doublebed window to popup the second it transferred me to the bar causing the glitch.
