I know my game is modded, but I remember encountering this back when I played unmodded Sims. The screenshot shows two errors in the notification. First, the incorrect usage of the pronoun "him." It should be "his." And next to that is another incorrect pronoun usage, "her." My Servo is not female so that pronoun shouldn't have been in the notification to begin with.

In Sienna Grove's household description 'indigenous' is not capitalized. "As a multiple-time Ultimate Horse Championship winner with her Horse, Salt Lake Flapjack (or “Flapjack” for short), Sienna is happy to share her indigenous wisdom and train Horses to become skilled competitors. After her parents passed and her brother took over the family ranch, she began training and competing full-time. She now runs the Hay Now! Equestrian Center, where she serves as an encouraging and knowledgeable mentor for aspiring equestrians."
I'm not sure if it is different in the US, but in Canada proper procedure is to capitalize 'Indigenous' when one is referring to people (as opposed to indigenous plants or animals).

The bonus trait for the Star Wars aspiration category reads:
Sims who are Prepared Voyager's fill up their needs slightly when traveling.
This is a plural, not a possessive, so this should be:
Sims who are Prepared Voyagers fill up their needs slightly when traveling.

Please describe the patch or change you made. It occured for the first noticeable time after installing Crystal Collections Stuff Pack. Note I have not played in several months before this pack was installed so there could be a different trigger, but no earlier than the release of For Rent.
The Bug in question occured atleast twice within the span of an hour but has not repeated since, I do not know exactly what the conditions are to trigger the seperation of crystals text, but I would assume that it's a text issue with the dialogs. I'd say the probability is an even 50% given that in the time I have played the game on scientist career 2 of 4 analysis' have resulted in dupes.
