I am having an issue that I wonder if it is related to the Easter Eggs.  My gardener/frogger sim's picture is blacked out.  Also, my game froze the last time after having the same issue.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

My game has many random glitches after patching.  Sometimes an action gets stuck and I can't cancel it.  Sometimes certain whims don't count. Sims seem to bounce around the screen when they move instead of walking.  My game is always patched up, I have no mods.  I repaired the game.  Now I'm going to delete cache files but I fear that yet another patch will need to be released.

Hi Caterina,

We're not being able to find anything on this bug/glitch. So your best bet may be to report it to the official answers.ea.com forum to see if they may be further help.

In the meantime you can try what CynKuy suggests - Delete cache files, repair game, maybe reset Sim.

Hope this helps, :)

Thank you.  The game hasn't froze on me again yet.  The other issue with the sim portrait in the UI being black seemed to be temporary though it did reoccur on the second startup.  Thanks again.
