[GRO] Infant/Toddler wont achieve milestones
While playing today my infant got the sit up milestone. However the game would not progress further. This is my first time having the bug since the update and getting new packs. The infant got the sit up milestone approx. 10 times in the span of 2 in game days. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ Archived thread had around 57 me toos
No Promotions. Getting Raises instead
Sim joined painter career, promoted as normal until level 6 where we have to choose a career path. After this, no more promotions, just earning a raise. I tried with multiple careers and it still occurs. Every time my sim finishes work and starts daily task, the performance bar rests from excellent to average. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Issue The save game starts to disintegrate itself. Lots start to get deleted, causing endless loading, loading into empty lots.

Infant and small children play very buggy
The interactions with infants and small children are very buggy. There is no one single thing that appears all the time, but multiple that don't work almost all the time. Just to give few examples: I see the kid will be hungry. I select a parent to feed them. The kid starts crying. Their action and other parent action is cancelled and replaced with "check what's going on with the kid" but neither feeds them... I want to put a kid into the crib, or a small kid to bed (regular or reading book). very often the interaction just gets cancelled for no reason. There is no obstacle/incorrectly placed object with bb.moveobjects. it just cancels multiple times. I need to pick the option to put them to bed multiple times before it actually happens. effectively spending 1 or 2 sims hours before being successful. similar issues with feeding a baby. either with bottle or in the high chair if small kid. the operation cancels multiple times (before they sit, then after they sit and should be given the mail). Again, instead of casual game play you are forced for 1 or 2 sim hours to stick and repeat the simple activity so that it is successful. overzealous parents - when the infant starts to cry, all of them throw themselves to the child. but the game doesn't recognise that the baby has been taken care of by another parent and the second one still forces their action. Especially annoying if the activity was to put the kid to bed(after 1 hour with the bug mentioned above) and then the other one immediately takes them out of the cradle and is not able to put them back in. and there we go, another hour lost. less often but also happens occasionaly when diaper needs changing just a quick mention about not recognising life steps as there are separate threads about it action to wash kid in the bathub also cancels itself at least two or three times before successful. Basically sims keep cancelling the activity related to basic needs of infant or child care is frustrating and repeating. There is no queued activity by me for the child (and certainly not for the infant :) ) that can block the actions. One simple action like bathing or feeding cannot be queued so yo can play as another sim. You have 99% that is not going to happen if you do this. You need to focus on this particular action and play sometimes several sims hours just repeating same steps till they are finally successful. I like playing as a family but this successfuly discourages me from having more than one baby and any legacy challenge.Crush for stepfather...
I saw this threads before but are marked as resolved. Unfortunately it is not. I have a clean game (no mods or cc). I chose an option to "adopt as a caregiver" by the new family member. But when the stepdaughter grows up, she has a crush on her stepfather nonetheless (who is seen in the family tree as well). This is weird and makes me uncomfortable.
[BH] Can't teach family recipe
I am playing on the PC version of the game, no mods, and my Sim can't teach either of her two children any family recipe. Previously it was only the daughter who she couldn't teach but it has now changed so it is both of them. It seems like when they were children there was a negative sentiment for a time, but even though the sentiment has ended, they still can't teach them. I've been trying since they were children, both are now young adults. I think the same thing has happened with the son whereby, even though their relationship is really good, they've had a one off negative sentiment and now they're locked from ever teaching them recipes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.[FAQ] Save Errors (Error 12, 13, 15, 16)
Problem While saving I get the error message: Error 12 (or 13 or 15 or 16). Please see Read-Me for more information. Meaning of the Errors Error 12: World file save failure. Mostly Memory related Error 13: Post-save callback failure. Unclear what that means. They fixed an error that was causing this and it seems to not occur as often. Error 15: Open failure. You probably don't have enough rights to write in the folder. Error 16: Loose file copy failure. The file cannot be (over)written. Avoidance & limitation of possible loss Since Error 12 seems to be caused by memory issues, a 64-bit operating system and at least 4 GB of RAM might help avoiding this error. EA altered the executable file with Patch 1.17/etc so that the game can allocate 4 GB of RAM. It helps to upgrade your system. Make sure your Computer fulfills the minimum requirements (EAs minimum requirements are a little low, especially with all EPs) Save often and in cycles (5-10 savegames with different names Regularly make a backup of your user files in documents. Check the folder CurrentGame.sims3 in documents before starting the game. It should be empty. It only contains data during gameplay. If your game crashed, this folder might still contain something. Move or delete it's content. Make sure your saves Folder in documents doesn't contain any saves with the extension .bad. Delete those, they are unusable. Increase your virtual memory Start your game in compatibility mode and/or as administrator If you are running Direct 10 or 11 (Windows Key - R, then type dxdiag), try installing DirectX 9 as well Make sure you have enough room on your hard drive Defrag your System Don't play long game sessions. Quit and restart the game in between. If the error occurs regularly in one game but not so much in others, move your sims to a new town. This will loose you all relationships to other Sims but you can keep your family with all their progress. Custom Content and Mods can cause all kinds of Error. The memory system introduced with Patch 1.21/1.22 bloats your save game enormously. This can become heavy on your RAM. Delete memories for your active/inactive Sims that you don't need. Suggestions You can try the following suggestions while the game is running and then try saving again. As soon as you get the error, the save is written to a folder with the extension .bad. You'll find it in your saves folder. Delete that folder before continuing. Error 12 & Error 13 Use save as and a new name instead of save Try saving in Edit Town mode as well as live mode Try saving your game paused and unpaused and at different speed levels. Move your saves folder to the desktop Never use save & quit. Always save your game first and then quit the game without saving. Don't use spaces or special chars in your save game names. If you have lots of stuff in your inventory, reduce it. If all fails, quit your game without saving and restore a backup. Error 15 Error 15 occurs when you don't have enough rights to access the saves folder. Make sure you have full access to the folder your saves folder is in and it's not hidden. If nothing helps, start your game as an administrator. Error 16 Error 16 occurs because of a file system failure which can occur if you try to overwrite a file in use or that is corrupt. Saving as with a new name should solve the issue. ------------------------------------ Did this FAQ help you with your issue ?

Happens most of the time. I complete all tasks on assignment on reaper career, until it only says return to office as a task. Then, option to return to office does not appear when I click on my sim. Have tried resetting my sim and it still does not appear. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.
Cross Stitch is empty after completion and I can't create a wall mounted copy
When my sim completes a Cross Stitch pattern, sometimes (more often than not) the hoop stays empty and I cannot create a wall mounted copy. The only options are to put it into inventory/place in world or to sell it. Another feature not working like intended. I'm growing beyond tired of this game.
