She is. Because, you know, her father was turned just before she was born. ::)
Seriously. This game has very little logic.
That's actually quite comprehensible, when you know how it works. The game retains NO data on the past state of sims. This means that when the check is performed to see what the babby should become, look like, or behave like, it uses the data from the parents, as they exist, right NOW. In 99% of cases, this data does not differ significantly, as sims normally do not radically change their stats, but you're hitting that bizarre, 1% corner case. Obviously, a SMART designer would have anticipated it, but this game was not designed by anyone smart. The good news is that it's certainly FIXABLE, but the bad news is that implementing a fix would negatively affect future compatibility and drastically increase maintenance overhead.

I have 2 sims in my house, one of them works just fine, everything's normal.. but the other can't go downstairs. She will walk downstairs but be invisible, and unable to do anything. Once i set her to go back upstairs, she magically reappears through the floor and heads there.
I have encountered this before: Basically, it's caused by bad stairs. Stairs are evil. To fix the sim, teleport the sim using Shift-Teleport here to some safe place, then demolish the stairs and don't try to build any more stairs there.
In unrelated news, I have a handle on why clubs are unnaturally deserted at times: They're basically suffering a constant DDoS attack from invalid visitors which block out the real visitors. Fix will be in next AwesomeMod.

I demonlished the stairs, tried them in the only 2 other places they would fit on my lot, still wouldnt work... ultimately i pulled them all out and put in an elevator, which seems to be working fine ^^ (although it looks a little silly in my tiny house, lol)

The only bug I have notice so far regards the acting career: my level 8 actor sim could not go to work (the action kept dropping from his queue) even though he could enter the building to quit his job.

Well, it's not exactly game-breaking (for me). I'm having fun with the blood suckers, so would probably have eventually turned her anyway. But it is kind of silly.
I think it's 1000 times worse the way that multiple births are always the same gender unless one jumps through hoops. That ruins any fun I would have had with multiples. But that's back to the base game and off-topic, so, eh, yeah. Derailing.

Having similar problems with certain opportunities. Some opportunities work, while some don't.
I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause, but I'm suspecting it's something related to the multiple businesses in the same rabbithole.
