If you are going to make bullets, such as putting 1. at the start of a sentence/paragraph, it is rather ridiculous to then write "For one" next to it, we already know it is point 1 because you put the number there. Try searching a little, this problem has been discussed at length elsewhere with a number of possible problems. I don't remember what was ultimately discussed as I don't have that problem so didn't pay that much attention, but it is there somewhere and might be more helpful.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I use numbered bullets.
I did a search and I found another thread about it on the BBS. Apparently, the "Well Rested" moodlet is causing the Sims' mood to dip. I figured there would at least be a hack around that corrects this but for now I'll just buy the most expensive bed.

That really depends on what else is running in your system and eating up RAM. With 3 GB you're going to lose a fair bit in just the OS operations, then if you're running an anti-virus, that eats some more, plus the myriad of other stuff that gets loaded and runs in the background everytime you start the computer. Some of these background tasks are not necessary to have start everytime, but they automatically set that way with the installer. By not having them running usually just means that particular program may take a couple of extra seconds to open when you go to launch it.
I have 12 GB RAM installed and the little monitor that is running is showing current usage at a little under 3GB RAM, give or take a little bit as it fluctuates, and depending on how accurate it is. That is without TS3 running, with the game running I have seen it jump to over 4 GB, even nudge 5 GB usage at times. I am running Windows 7 64-Bit Professional edition, and if I go and kill some background tasks and alter the start-up menu, I can get the regular usage down to 2.5 GB or lower, something I need to do after updating some programs which have reset their background tasks to start everytime again.
It might be beneficial to shut down as many background tasks as possible when playing, if you're disconnected from the internet, you can shut down any anti-virus program that is running.
Alright, I'll take a look at my background tasks the next time I start up my game.

Just to check, did you remove ALL of your mods and CC when you tried a vanilla game or did you leave some behind?
Yes. I removed all of my user files, not just my CC. The game acted as if it was a fresh installation.

I went to the official BBS and there were other people having the same problem. Some suggested that it was due to the patch and that it is the cheap beds that are triggering this. But, I tried buying more expensive beds (They are in the $1000 range) and my Sims's mood is STILL very red.
If you're talking double beds then a §1000 bed is still crappy. The cheapest non-crappy double bed is the LuxurLove at §2200. Price alone is no indicator of quality, as there are some more expensive beds that are not worth using.
As for single beds, there are three in my game that are non-crappy. The Single Sophisticate @ §1450, Topsy-Turvy (from the store) @ §1600, and the Iconic Ionic @ §1650.
AwesomeMod can tell you which beds are not worth using - they're identified as Kewian-based. Accept no Kewian-based substitutes.

I don't have Awesome mod because it conflicts with aWT's slider hack. But I ended up just buying the Sleep Slave Double Bed (Around $3200) and it worked. I'll just use this as a temporary solution until EA finally fixes the glitch with a patch.

Is that the one that removes the slider limit? Because that's included in Awesomemod.

2. Second, we have our dear old friend "Error Code 12." I originally made my entire game vanilla by restarting my user files because this was a big problem in my old game. I can play for fifteen minutes, attempt to save, and this message would show up instead. Then, it began to crash randomly. So I decided to start fresh.
I was having Error code 12 crashes, and found these to be helpful.
