Crinrict, thank you for all your support. You helped make TS3 playable for me (well, up until the end there. Lol. Eventually I just gave up and waited for TS4).
I've only been playing for a few hours, so I've only noticed one bug (besides the clipping issue). It's impossible to change appearance in a mirror if there is an object directly below it (tried a mirror above a sink and a different mirror above a dresser). The Sim tries to change appearance but complains about routing. Other interactions don't appear to have this problem.

Resetting her didn't solve it.
Edit: Quit her job and it finally reset the menus, but it didn't seem like any other method was working. Though she still has the "at work" icon over her portrait.
Edit 2: The game is acting weird now. It's giving me two job notifications now that I rejoined the same job. However, once she got off her shift everything seemed to go back to normally. No payment for two jobs.
Edit 3: And now it's back to having things greyed out after the second day back on the job. Could it have to do with her noncommittal trait? That would be weird, but kind of make sense.
I'm operating the sims 4 on windows 8 and bought through Origin. I'm having an issue where when I enter a cheat with the Ctrl + Shift + C command (i.e testingcheats on), I have to re-enter it every time I want to use it again. Even when I make the needs disabled, when I travel somewhere, switch family, and so on, re-typing the cheat over and over is required. I believe it's a bug issue or it could be that's how it was planned to happen. But it seems like more of a bug to me.
I forgot, I'm also getting the issue with my sims being married or seeing someone and flirting with someone else in front of their mate but no reaction. My sim literally started flirting back & its mate didn't do anything but continue their conversation like nothing happened.
On another note, when 2 of my sims got real close I saved and switch families, however, their relationship showed that they did not know the other one and all that work in making them friends and making out was lost.
Are you using mods - Nope
Are you using custom content (as in clothing and objects) - Nope
What is your Operating System (XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1) - Win 7
Do you have the download or DVD Version of the game ? - Downloaded
When I go to enlarge a mirror, the frame gets bigger, but the glass portion of the mirror stays small, and shows up underneath the now enlarged mirror frame (if a wall mounted mirror) or just at the bottom of the frame (if a standing mirror)
No mods installed Windows 8.1 OS installed Digital Deluxe Download version no CC objects or clothing okay so I'm using a sim from the gallery (1 sim family) and moved her into a small house, then gave her enough money to move out and into one of the more expensive houses. so right after I move her into her new home, she fades off the lot as if she was going to work (she didn't have a job yet). all the while remaining selected so now I can't see her and or do anything with her, and the game thinks she is the active sim still. So I exit out to the family select and now under her name it says secret when i go to play as her.

I'm having the same problem. I can't play my legacy with the plumbobs up - looks too amateur in pictures. It does state everywhere that I've seen that it's supposed to hide the plumbobs - even in the Player's Guide.

some bugs i ran into in my ~6 hours of playthrough so far:
the shower animation continued after the shower was over (my sim stopped after a second of shower. i queued him up again and he completed it, but the animation continued.) moving the shower didnt stop it. buying a new shower didnt stop it. leaving the lot then returning seemed to work
after sim found out she was pregnant her stomach seemed to show like she was in her 3rd trimester (the timer had her only in her first trimester)
when at the bar, my sim tried to talk to another random sim but couldn't (he was seated and she was near him.) the only solution that fixed the problem was resetting the random sim which in turn reset my sim and that random sim
Bug I am having is I can't cancel the maid service. Seems like it is also charging me d

also i guess it's worth mentioning that for some reason my sim cant see the romance bar for other sims (only for her romantic interest)
i tried flirting with another sim and the romance bar still wouldn't show up no matter how many different romantic interactions i did
After chatting with a friend on the cellphone, my Sim has the 'Casual Discussion' box with the portrait of the Sim she was speaking to stuck at the top of the screen. It's been a couple of days since they spoke, she's been to work and back, slept, ate, showered, ect. It still acts like they are talking, and I can't seem to get it to disappear.
I've never had any mods or CC installed. I'm running the Origin Digital Deluxe Edition on Windows 7.
I had a sim get stuck through the stairs. I had to use testing cheats and teleport to get her back to make her playable. Nothing else would make her move.
Edited to add additional information. I wasn't playing her. I was working on the computer with another sim chatting online and I noticed that she was hungry so I switched to her and she wouldn't do anything. Then I noticed that she was stuck.
Didn't see this in the complied list. I had already made a discussion and was told to report to this bug thread.
So in Build Mode, when i first created a roof, it worked perfectly. I deleted it and tried a different type of roof style. It cause an issue with the roof display.
I have a bug report. I traveled to the park, Magnolia whatever, and when I came home, I'm no longer able to interact with any objects(when I click on anything, no menu pops up), and my camera controls are screwed up. I can't pan my camera, I can only rotate the screen.
Playing a completely vanilla game, digital copy, windows 7. Gonna restart my game, that should fix it.
What if I told you.. you don't have to have 98723987297 animated GIFs in your signatures!?!??

My Sim is jogging a lot of the time...although not all the time.
Edit: It seems to only be when I'm not on the home lot. She always jogs to go meet someone and talk, and then will jog back home.

okay so I'm using a sim from the gallery (1 sim family) and moved her into a small house, then gave her enough money to move out and into one of the more expensive houses. so right after I move her into her new home, she fades off the lot as if she was going to work (she didn't have a job yet). all the while remaining selected so now I can't see her and or do anything with her, and the game thinks she is the active sim still.
So I exit out to the family select and now under her name it says secret when i go to play as her.
anyone know what might be the cause of this?
