Here're some bugs reported by some dude named Pyrofalkon to get you started.
http://cheats.ign.com/articles/992/992994p1.html
A neighbor comes over to visit, then leaves and steals the active family's baby.
If a Sim is holding a baby and you ask them to leave, they will more than likely leave with the baby, and it will be removed from your family. Be sure to take your baby back before kicking them out of the house by interacting with the baby.
Two of my Sims got married. One Sim had a bunch of money, and moved into her new husband's house… but now her money is gone!
When two Sims get married, their bank accounts do not always wholly combine. There is currently no workaround for this short of avoiding marriage entirely. All I can recommend is to have the poorer Sim be drawn into the richer Sim's household so there is minimal loss.
Family bills keep going up when player doesn't buy anything new.
No fix currently. It seems that all objects on your lot work against your bills, so if a friend parks their car in your driveway, it works against your bills. More commonly, it seems your bills are partly based on how much money you have in your bank account, so if you suddenly get a quick influx of money—say, from a promotion—your bills may jump a little more quickly than you realize. This may or may not be a bug, but it's something to be aware of.
My Sim owned a business and other items in his backpack, but he doesn't anymore. I didn't sell anything, so what happened to it all?
If you switch your active family, most of your Sims' inventory items will vanish. That can include deeds to businesses as well. Before switching families, be sure to empty all inventories into the house, even if you have to make a little one-off room.
I assigned my Sim a personality trait when he aged up, but it didn't appear.
I haven't personally experienced this aside from when children age up to teens, but it's been reported that it strikes other age changes as well. I've never seen this happen when Sims are aged up through birthday cakes, so a possible workaround is to just ensure you always give your Sims birthday parties. If your teens or children are hit with the bug, you could wait until they hit the next age, and the traits may correct themselves.
If you're struck with the bug, there are two ways to fix it. If you're uncomfortable with cheating, then you can spend 20,000 Lifetime Happiness Points to get the Mid-Life Crisis lifetime reward. You can only do this once the Sim hits adulthood.
If you're okay with cheating, the first thing you need to do is bring up the cheat console with CTRL + SHIFT + C. Then, type the cheat "testingCheatsEnabled on" (without quotes, but notice the space in there) to unlock some special commands. Now, hold SHIFT and left-click the Sim you want to alter. A pie menu will come up with two options: one to modify his or her traits, and one to force him or her to age up. After you alter things, you can do a "testingCheatsEnabled off" to disable the special commands if you so choose.
My Sim isn't dying from old age.
There seems to be a solution in the game where your Sim will hit the end of his lifespan, but not actually die for some reason. (I posit this may have something to do with messing with the age slider and then pulling it back, but I have no data to back up that opinion.) One bug is to switch out the active family, as the Sim will probably die when he or she is no longer under your control.
The other is to use the aforementioned cheat. That is, press CTRL + SHIFT + C to bring up the cheat console, and type "testingCheatsEnabled on" without quotes. Then, hold SHIFT and left-click your Sim, then choose "Trigger Age Transition" from the pie menu that pops up. When used on an elder-aged Sim, the Sim will immediately perish from old age. You can then use "testingCheatsEnabled off" without quotes in the console to reset things back to normal.

Here're some bugs reported by some dude named Pyrofalkon to get you started.
http://cheats.ign.com/articles/992/992994p1.html
A neighbor comes over to visit, then leaves and steals the active family's baby.
If a Sim is holding a baby and you ask them to leave, they will more than likely leave with the baby, and it will be removed from your family. Be sure to take your baby back before kicking them out of the house by interacting with the baby.
Two of my Sims got married. One Sim had a bunch of money, and moved into her new husband's house… but now her money is gone!
When two Sims get married, their bank accounts do not always wholly combine. There is currently no workaround for this short of avoiding marriage entirely. All I can recommend is to have the poorer Sim be drawn into the richer Sim's household so there is minimal loss.
Family bills keep going up when player doesn't buy anything new.
No fix currently. It seems that all objects on your lot work against your bills, so if a friend parks their car in your driveway, it works against your bills. More commonly, it seems your bills are partly based on how much money you have in your bank account, so if you suddenly get a quick influx of money—say, from a promotion—your bills may jump a little more quickly than you realize. This may or may not be a bug, but it's something to be aware of.
My Sim owned a business and other items in his backpack, but he doesn't anymore. I didn't sell anything, so what happened to it all?
If you switch your active family, most of your Sims' inventory items will vanish. That can include deeds to businesses as well. Before switching families, be sure to empty all inventories into the house, even if you have to make a little one-off room.
I assigned my Sim a personality trait when he aged up, but it didn't appear.
I haven't personally experienced this aside from when children age up to teens, but it's been reported that it strikes other age changes as well. I've never seen this happen when Sims are aged up through birthday cakes, so a possible workaround is to just ensure you always give your Sims birthday parties. If your teens or children are hit with the bug, you could wait until they hit the next age, and the traits may correct themselves.
If you're struck with the bug, there are two ways to fix it. If you're uncomfortable with cheating, then you can spend 20,000 Lifetime Happiness Points to get the Mid-Life Crisis lifetime reward. You can only do this once the Sim hits adulthood.
If you're okay with cheating, the first thing you need to do is bring up the cheat console with CTRL + SHIFT + C. Then, type the cheat "testingCheatsEnabled on" (without quotes, but notice the space in there) to unlock some special commands. Now, hold SHIFT and left-click the Sim you want to alter. A pie menu will come up with two options: one to modify his or her traits, and one to force him or her to age up. After you alter things, you can do a "testingCheatsEnabled off" to disable the special commands if you so choose.
My Sim isn't dying from old age.
There seems to be a solution in the game where your Sim will hit the end of his lifespan, but not actually die for some reason. (I posit this may have something to do with messing with the age slider and then pulling it back, but I have no data to back up that opinion.) One bug is to switch out the active family, as the Sim will probably die when he or she is no longer under your control.
The other is to use the aforementioned cheat. That is, press CTRL + SHIFT + C to bring up the cheat console, and type "testingCheatsEnabled on" without quotes. Then, hold SHIFT and left-click your Sim, then choose "Trigger Age Transition" from the pie menu that pops up. When used on an elder-aged Sim, the Sim will immediately perish from old age. You can then use "testingCheatsEnabled off" without quotes in the console to reset things back to normal.
