The Sims have had some pretty interesting bugs over the years. For example:
Pregnant Sims can no longer "Brawl."
and
Sims can no longer "Try for Baby" with the Grim Reaper.
While relatively unknown compared to the Sims, my friend Randy and I have our own life simulation game with its share of interesting bugs. Our game's patch notes are listed below.
