I also retire sims and activate new ones as soon as the sticker rewards are released, usually late Monday. I usually retire 2 sims each week.
Suddenly the retirement bug activated! Only could retire the one without good upbringing that I created after a sim with good upbringing became unusable and was stuck as a doctor for a long time. After clicking on him days later it ended shift, but briefly overrode the one I created to replace him. Than the system corrected and moved him back to unusable. He hung around market square until I thought maybe inviting him home would fix things. He was glitchy from birth and I only managed to get two good upbringing stars because he hardly ever had a pop up to take care of him. Considering yesterday I had to uninstall and reinstall for crashes, I seem to have a low immune system to game bugs.
