So what is really up with this bug issue?

Well.....how about because you can now steal all the career rewards from the Secret Society mansion?
LOL I never thought about that, but I suppose you can do that. I'd imagine you can take everything that isn't nailed down from the dorms too. ;)

There's a cheat you can use to get all of the career rewards anyway :)

I play a lot of familes with children and I have noticed something, a fix maybe? Used to drive me nuts before NL - whenever babies transitioned into toddlers, the parent would pick them up, put them down, again and again, until the parent was exhausted and the baby fell asleep, thus missing his/her birthday. Now with NL, parent picks up baby, tosses and presto, instant toddler - there's no more messing around.
(And here I was going to go to bed!) Nope--that is still there, and actually I don't believe it's a glitch. I noticed months back that when the transition doesn't follow through and I force it with the birthday cake the newly-turned toddler has at least one need that's near critical. Most of the time it's an energy deficiency. If the baby's had a bottle, fresh diaper and a nap the age transition goes smoothly. If not, watch out--you're in for a rough ride.
C.S.:

I was so hoping this wouldn't be an issue in NL anymore, I haven't got it yet. I usually throw birthday parties, and when the parent put the baby on the floor and the guests continue to cheer and cheer for another sim hour and still nothing happened, I used testingcheats to force an error on the 'stuck' baby, the parent (or whoever the game picked) was then able to 'Help with birthday'. I've done this twice, hope there won't be repercussions down the road...
simmiecal:
I did notice an improvement with the baby/toddler transition. I noticed a teen (a romance one) standing next to the crib - which is usually the bad sign that I'm about to play "let the whole household swarm the crib and repeatedly pick-up the baby". I starting queuing up some interactions for another sim and noticed that the teen took the baby to the fridge, feed the baby a bottle and IMMEDIATELY threw the baby in the air for the age transition. I noticed in another house that a father bathed the baby and then immediately threw the baby up for age transition.
Before, it seemed like when there was a need problem you had to guess what was holding up the transition (feed, bathe, change diaper) or try to force it with the birthday cake. It *appears* that now the teen/adult/elder will autonomously take whatever action is needed in order to get the age transition to happen.
.......or I've just had real good luck with my two transitions. :-\
