First of all, how did they mess that up to begin with?
Secondly, how did they find out that was even the problem?
Seems like a very specific situation that wouldn't happen too often...

Can we have that one back, please? That would be very appropriate for some of my Sims.

I was thinking the exact same thing with the glitch involving the nanny and the Rock Hammer.

There are still bugs which are showing up today which were never fixed because nobody ever discovered them earlier. Like the fat waiter having a broken mesh - that would have been patched if anyone had discovered it at the time but it was only now years later with the mod that allows body diversity in townies, plus the release of Emerald Heights with the fat waiter there, that anyone had cause to even see the fat waiter mesh!
After a certain point they stop releasing updates to a game because if it works well enough with the patches they have released, then no problem - although these days constant patching and updates is far more common, it's why I don't get on well with current releases of Sims games. I could probably play TS3 again now, but not TS4, because it drives me mad having to replace my mods every time because they updated one thing in the game.
It's probably why they never disabled the delete family from neighbourhood button, because nobody ever tested a hood long enough to see corruption, or they got corruption but didn't recognise it for what it was since this is a pattern which took the community quite a while to figure out. Most corruption seems random or like a one off issue, if you didn't know that deleting sims would be the cause.
I use the sims as a psychology simulator...

Like "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub?"

I'm surprised that no one used the waiter outfit for an owned business and discovered the fat waiter problem that way.

In terms of the children hovering bugs, I actually did see that once since playing with the UC. When an adult "appreciated" the kid (apparently he had a very good reputation), the kid started hovering to accept the appreciation.

Seriously, why isn't there a love interaction to scratch behind a cat's ear or on their bellies?

Too funny for words. Why did they take this out?

That would be rather impressive, considering that there's no internal organs in an arm. |
Yes, yes, but the bit where they grab your hand with their front paws and rake your forearm with their hind claws is a disemboweling move in a fight. If this were a real fight instead of a play fight they'd be digging in and doing some serious damage.

But we know that was not meant literally, but just based on what cats do with those back legs...
Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

Better, they shouldn't dance, but cover their ears & run away. Even if the nanny is getting some hot licks, just WRONG!

""Rub Belly" want no longer appears for cats." Seriously, why isn't there a love interaction to scratch behind a cat's ear or on their bellies? |
Belly rubs depend on the cat's personality and their relationship to the human. If they trust the human they may let the human rub their belly for a tiny bit before they attack. I've had cats that like to have their belly rubbed for a tiny bit, and other that immediately tried to scratch me. Scratches around the ears and base of tail are a better bet with cats.

Never do this to a strange cat!
