Arrrrgh!  They autonomously divorced!  She didn't move out, though, so maybe I can rebuild the relationship or something. It would be weird if she continued living there and he brought in another wife, but I'm tempted as she's a quite high level painter and I need the portraits doing!  I could write the dynasty either way, as they have a history.  I will probably do that, leave her in the house and find him another wife, on the basis that they are such old friends (and the more the merrier in a first gen dynasty, as I understand it.)  I was so upset, I had to stop playing for the night.  My husband was a bit worried!

Ouch!

When a relationship takes a huge hit, I find that if I micromanage it, I can fix it. I tend to use Friendly a lot, until they have a decent set going - if I ever see the red minus, I immediately have the offender Apologize.

Then again, your sims sometimes just don't want to cooperate.

I've been a bit baffled at this as well, unless the townies are really just that suspicious of me.

My sim will be innocently talking to people, trying to make friends, and doing the usual Chat, Gossip, Get to Know, etc., when BAM! My Sim gets a Naughty reputation for not being "entirely faithful."

I would definitely understand flirting, but I'm doing the friendly and joking (not flirtatious joke) stuff, so why is that the other sims think that my Sim is being unfaithful??

Arrrrgh!  They autonomously divorced! 

This happened to me recently, too.  I was really surprised at the divorce.  I had to go through all the steps to get them back together, starting with asking to just be friends.  They eventually had a wedding and a baby.

I never realised they could autonomously divorce till it happened to me, i've always had happy families in my games but I was doing a wishacy challenge where it's all about completeing wishes and free will and well it got very complicated.

She started as romantic interest with two men, wished to marry one but never stopped wishing to see the other and as the rules say you try and do all the wishes, so she wished for a baby and as it's all about free will I used twallans mod so that it was all out of my hands, I had only meant to use it with the husband but I forgot to turn it off again and the wrong man got her pregnant.

I had no idea who the father was till the hospital when the affair showed up and then came home with them in the taxi, so awkward, needless to say the husband wasn't impressed and no matter how I tried I could not get him to be at all civil and suddenly he divorced her, I was gobsmacked as I really didn't want that. Personally I would have carried on as they were as I was enjoying the intrigue of it all but EA has other ideas it seems.

My Sim changes to Formalwear because his/her subway stop was on the same lot as a high-end bar. He/She also gets wishes and/or memories regarding such.

“You ought to upgrade to Windows 7!”, they said. “It’ll help your games run so much better!”, they said. If I see them again, then they had better know how to stabilize an on-the-fritz copy of The Sims 3 that was working just fine on Windows XP.

My Dynasty founder occasionally taking a shower and then walking around the house stark naked. He's the only one afflicted by this glitch, and while it's a minor annoyance, I don't particularly want to see an old man wander around the house with no clothes on.

I was actually afraid of what would happen if he tried to do some beekeeping totally naked.

Shirin, when that happened to me, it turned out that my sim had 10 Career outfits and it was trying and failing to spawn another one. Maybe check that?

1) The random money glitch. Hatehatehate.
2) Yesterday, a sim ate a jelly bean and got stuck behind the bush until she neared death. I had to resetsim her to get her back to normal.

Another thing that bugs me is when my sim is riding a horse or flying a broom and I tell them to go somewhere that they follow the road like a car would.
If they're on a horse or flying shouldn't they be able to cut across country and take a shorter route.

Other sims or more recently zombies (those dreadful, dreadful things...) watching my sims sleep ._., it creeps me out beyond reason and usually forces me to resort to drastic measures like delete object. It's plain creepy! Oh and the new "confess to watching you while you sleep". I don't even... Why? Just why?!

I'd love the one that adds, I've gotten it before, but i didn't get much money. i doesn't matter with me though, because my main Sim has 75 million Simoleans. Why do you hate it?

The accuse of cheating thing can be pretty random and in my experience doesn't always make sense.

For instance I am playing a vampire in Moonlight falls who has moved in the fairy Oberon.She got pregnant without him breaking up with his wife,I know I know naughty!. But I couldn't get the option for him to break up with his wife no matter what I did.
So anyone one day he comes home and accuses the vamp of cheating.Hello there mister technically you are the one that is cheating pal.
