Why aren't my pets getting paid?

Question

I have The Sims 2 installed with all expansions and official patches (I miss stuff packs however).

I have a problem concerning pets: basically when they come back from work (after a few game days where everything works fine) they don't get a salary. They also can't get a promotion: it seems that the pets coming back home fails to trigger some routine.

I also tried totally erasing the Sims2 directory in my Documents and Settings folder (thus forcing the program to recreate the neighbors from scratch) but I still have the same problem.

However, this doesn't seem to be a common problem around the Internet. Is this bug known? Do you know how to solve it?

I'm picture a dog going to work and demanding his salary with a series of barks. — Alain, Jul 29 '11 at 13:41

Found a couple other people and have the same problem myself. Seems to go away if Apartment Life is removed. No other fix found yet.

I re-installed everything except Apartment Life and the problem disappeared. I guess that last pack is very buggy... – Emiliano Oct 29 '11 at 17:40
