List of glitches (The Sims 3 era)

Here is the list of glitches in The Sims 3-based games (The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval).

Load game error
A load game error can occur in The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval if the game is unable to load the saved game or World file.

Save game error
Save game errors occur in The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval if the game is unable to save.

Bad Mood glitch
The bad mood glitch is a bug that occurs in the Late Night update through Generations, it can cause a Sim to be in a Bad Mood.

Ramirez glitch
If a saved game is corrupted, sometimes the game would be abnormal. The tool tip would say that it might be saved in Expansion Pack data that does not exist even if that Town (Such as Bridgeport) exists in that game. It is unknown of what the name "Ramirez" means in The Sims 3.

The household name would be Ramirez instead of the original household name (e.g. Hemlock if the Hemlock family was being played as) even if a household was not played, the time would be read as 12:00 AM rather than the original time the game was saved at and the date as 12:45AM instead of the original date. The family description would be Lot description. Also it shows a family thumbnail (Which is displayed if a Town was saved without playing a household) but shows that a household was being played (See above).

If a different save is selected and then the corrupted save is selected, the save would have the name and description of the last save such as the Hemlock name and description.

Save glitch
In the original version of The Sims 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360, the game may freeze when trying to save the game. Electronic Arts has released an update that fixes this problem.

Tutorial glitch
In The Sims Medieval, if the player replaces a graphics card or updates the video driver, the player will be forced to redo the Tutorial. It can be fixed by editing the Options.ini file to disable the Tutorial.
