=== Censor Effect ===
=== Glitchy Screen Borders ===
Since at least {{revision|5.0-9954}}, the top and right sides of the screen display a couple pixels wide line that displays improperly during cutscenes and ingame, though it works fine in the menus. No settings fix this. See {{issue|11672}}.
 
=== Generating Sim issues ===
Since at least {{revision|5.0-9954}}, when generating your sim (at least in story mode), the parents won't show up properly and the audio cue to stop playing the sound from random generation of your parents/grandparents won't stop playing. This is fixed by setting "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" to "Off" and using DSP LLE Recompiler audio respectively.
 
=== <s>Startup Hang</s>  ===
If dualcore is enabled, the game will freeze on the licensed by Nintendo screen. Single core mode is default since {{revision|5.0-11217}}.
 
=== <s>Censor Effect</s> ===
The effect doesn't render on a Sim but rather in a different room in old revisions of Dolphin.

The censor effect may cause VPS slow-down no matter what backend. Enable "Skip EFB Access from CPU" to fix this, although it will allow you to see your Sims like a nude Barbie doll. This also prevents graphical corruption under Direct3D.
