Sim can´t fish any more
Writin_Reg:
Yeah, some people reported that mods played a part in their fishing problems too, but like I put in my post I have no mods, no CC, nothing - so this also happens - apparently - in a totally vanilla game as well. Quite weird that the same glitch can be caused with mods in one scenario and without anything in another.

This is also happening in my game as well. I have two YA sims living together in Riverview. One of them has fishing at Level 10 and every time I try to have him fish with bait, he resets back at the house. If he fishes without bait, it's fine.
However, he also has the supermarket problem; I first noticed this when he got an opportunity called A Lobster Crisis, which required him to go into the supermarket. Unfortunately, this was a day or two ago and I cannot recall anything I might have done, except I did receive a Flagrant System Error randomly which I now regret not taking a screenshot. I couldn't select the supermarket and clicking on the opportunity icon did nothing. I circumvented this problem by running SupCom on Collect: Seeds, which forced him to take care of the opportunity first. He was able to enter the supermarket that way, but after he completed the opportunity, he still was not able to interact in any way with the supermarket.
I'm on the 1.7.9.002002 patch with the latest AwesomeMod. I do not have WA installed. I removed all my mods and custom content, delete the 4 cache files in the My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3, and also cleared out the Windows/Prefetch. I started up the game (I had to implement a temporary crack .exe to bypass the CD check) and tried to fish with him again. He continues to reset and has no access to the supermarket. His husband, however, is able to fish with bait just fine and still has access to the supermarket. I have not observed this problem in the other 5 sims I occasionally play.
I have also tried using different types of bait but to no avail. Using the resetSim <name> did not fix it, and trying out fixall (when AM was still installed) also did not help.
I'll be a little disappointed if this is irreparable, but just knowing what causes this problem would be a great help regardless.

I had the unclickable grocery store problem, I fixed it by removing seeds from my inventory. Special seeds can be stored in the fridge so maybe the game treats them as spoiled food or something.

I was able to remedy the problem (at least temporarily). It may have been in part because of the seeds, I don't know, but what I did do was this:
I put all mods/custom content back into my game, launched. Created a new Riverview, copied the supermarket, went to my saved game, replaced the old supermarket with the copied one. That didn't fix that problem (and in fact made the supermarket unselectable from the map but interactable from zoomed in view, but luckily this was a test save), so I used AM's "Nuke" command to destroy my sim. Saved, selected his neighbor's house, invited him over, took control of him that way. His inventory and wishes were purged. I tossed him a fish from his fridge and sent him down to the riverbank. Success! It also made the supermarket selectable, I think. Not entirely sure.
I'm going to make another copy of the non-test save and simply try removing any seeds from his inventory. It's very strange, because his husband definitely has seeds he picked up from around the town but had none of the problems with fishing and supermarket activity that he did.
EDIT: Gary, you're marvelous. Removing the seeds fixed both the supermarket problem and the fishing with bait one. Nuking him only appeared to address the issue because it purged his inventory.
JoWe:
This Sim was only in Ägypt a few times never in China or France, game patched till 2.2.8.
@Gary you made my day, simple but effective, removing all seeds from his inventory solved both problems. Thx ;)
More specific, it was one of five unknows special seeds.
