Ambitions: What's borked
Roobs:
I've also been experiencing the basement stair placement problem. One house wouldn't let me place the stairs at all, despite absolutely nothing being around that section of the house (I took out a massive chunk of foundation). The game only lets me place the stairs in the middle of the lawn, away from the house.
J. M. Pescado:
Basement stairplacement can be a bit tricky: First, NONFLAT lots severely screw up, well, everything. Second, if you're trying to build a basement on a house with an existing foundation, hollow out the foundation and make the first level of "basement" in oldschool TS2 style.

The sim couldn't route to the fire to extinguish it (queue-dropped), and deleting it in debug mode did not register in the progress box, presumably because it was the last bit of fire on the lot. <snip> Pure EA bork: fire should not be permitted to spawn in or spread to unroutable areas.
I've seen a similar issue with Ghost Hunting. While attempting to capture a ghost, it repositioned itself on the second floor porch of a house. The problem was there was no door leading out onto the porch, so the ghost hunter sim did its route failure foot stamp.
Well, if the game's going to cheat, so will I. Teleported outside to capture it.
Baarogue:
Anyone else that's experiencing the EAxian quirk where the job tracker for Firefighters or Ghostbus- er, Ghost HUNTERS aren't showing up (I don't know if other jobs make use of the tracker), I figured out today that you can get it to show by pressing the "Show/Hide Job Tracker" button in the lower-left corner of your sim's Career tab. You may have to press it twice. Once to turn it "off", since the game thinks it's on, and the second time to really turn it on.

I think Ambitions broke my sims career histories! ...
Since I cannot test any pre-Ambition saved games that were built without those hacks, I am wondering if someone who has any pre-Ambition saved towns, who also has Ambitions installed, who has sims with career histories and who built towns without those hacks can check and see if their sims still have their career histories or are they gone also? ...
I wonder if this is happening with all pre-Ambition saved towns or is it only happening with pre saved towns that used core mods.
... And if it is not mod related but Ambitions related, then perhaps EA can be made aware and will fix it in a patch.
I don't have Ambitions (or WA or HELS either, for that matter), but the latest patch broke the career histories. This has been mentioned on the EA site for the last week, so EA should be aware of it. Whether they will fix it in a patch is another matter.
As I play with AM installed, I can't personally test your theory. I can say that others on the EA forum claimed they played with a straight EA game. So, it looks as if EA broke it all on their own.
On that same note, my jack of all trades not only lost her career history; but after making it to level 5 in yet another job, her lifetime want icon does not reflect 1 of 4 completed even though this latest job is now registering in her career history.
