Ambitions: What's borked
The_Goddess:
There isn't a mailbox in buydebug, but yes you can get one from, TSR.

Here are a couple of my current Ambitions clusterfuck experiences, for what they're worth. Don't know how widespread they are, but I know I'm not the only one with CTDs.
1. Aforementioned CTDs. There are a couple of things I've singled out to trigger it, namely getting married during a party at a venue, and someone in the neighbourhood ageing up. It seems to choose the Adult age stage most often. I've found one workaround- Go through every house to find who has 0 days until their next age-up, use 'editsim', and if the game CTDs when I select the next stage up for them, it seems to be that sim with the problem- reload, age them to teen instead, save, editsim, choose correct age. It's a giant pain in the nuts but it's stopped my CTDs for the most part.
EDIT 3: CTD on age-up seems to occur only on the ones that have tattooes. Yes, I feel like an idiot for not noticing this link before, of course baby-teen can't have those...
2. Firefighter jobs are borked. My level 10 firefighter can put out all the fire on a lot and free everyone and it still gives him an F. Ditto all his following jobs thereafter. I had to have him quit and restart at the bottom of the ladder.
3. Occasionally something goes profoundly wacky with cars. My teenage daughter got fused to her fathers' fire engine, creating the delightful effect of a wiggling truck crammed into the front of her house.
EDIT: New error; get a tattoo = CTD. A late discovery for me. Pleh, tattooes are trashy anyway.
EDIT 2: Fresh bork- 32 thousand dollar Fireman retirement pension. Wow. I gotta get me some of that IRL...

By the time the meteor strike happened the garden had every plant in perfect condition, a pond stocked with deathfish, and the house had been extensively refurbished/redecorated/recoloured. I'm not in the habit of moving a family out, lotbinning the lot, and then moving the family back in after improvements, so I didn't have a copy of the house after the modifications. Rather than lose all that and then having to redo it just because the mailbox lost its menu from the meteor strike, it is easier to spend a few minutes using AM's collect rock macro and then use AM's sell/refine macro to get the mail.
It's not a major problem for me. Thanks to AM's billpaying feature, my sims don't check the mailbox very often. I usually only send them to collect the mail when they hit level 10 in a skill, or in the case of this particular household (my robot-making household), when a pink diamond has been sent for cutting.
Fortunately I save every sim night. Now that I know that meteors kill mailboxes, the next time it happens I can just go back to the last save and lose less than a simday of play. It's just this one lot that is borken.
I have a weird solution for you. I have not tried this with a mailbox, but I have done it with a trashcan, and the results should be the same. Use debugging cheats to make your mailbox an ice sculpture. It will eventually melt, (that is, if none of your sims have that ice sculptor challenge completed, not sure what happens otherwise), and then you can clean up the ice glob, and level the area where the mailbox was. Eventually (as happened with my trash can) another mailbox will appear. This might fix your problem. At least try it, (backing up saves of course) to see if it helps.

Well, I have a weird issue with Fly Bayless. He's the Bayless ghost. I resurrected him and every time I tried to edit his appearance, mirror, dresser, Twaalan's computer, big fiery CTD. I think he's just plain borked, because even resetsim and fixall did nothing for him. So warning all, until that gets fixed, don't try fixing him!
Edit - I have discovered that Juan Darer is also borked in the same way. Just sending him to the mirror is enough to CTD. This is reminding me very much of the Plant Sims in Sims2 and how messed up they were before the patch for Seasons came out. :P
Edit 2 - I am not sure what the problem is. Several times today I have CTD when I have tried to edit a Sim, this has been in several Twinbrook families and in new games. Plus, a previously fine Ghostbuster in Sunset Valley now suddenly has no jobs every night when before he had two to three a night. The only thing I changed there was getting the new AM, so I don't know if its a cumulative error or if something has just gone horribly wrong, but it is very frustrating. I had him quite and restart the career and that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Once more into the breach dear friends, once more...
