I haven't been switching households at all but my Sims (2 Adults and 2 Infants) lose all of their earned milestones whenever I travel with any of them to another lot. They only keep their milestones if I never leave their home lot.

No, I don't play rotationally. This was one family in a new save. I sent them to festivals a few times so I'm guessing that's how he lost it.

The milestones can also not be reached after they disappear. My infant wants to learn its first word, but it is not saved or indicated that it has. :/
- @crinrict It only has happened to me when switching households, it hasn’t happened to me when traveling or CAS
I am also having this problem with rotational gameplay. I was playing family #1 with an infant who had almost all the milestones and swapping between them and family #2 who got pregnant and had a baby. As soon as that baby aged up to infant, family #1's infant lost all their milestones. Before baby #2 was born, infant #1 still kept them. Seems like you can only play one infant at a time right now unless you want everything to be lost.
I’m playing rotational and the same thing happened to me. All milestones lost between all 5 of my sims 😞
Just happened with me too ☹️
I have been going between households for a bit and my Infant's Milestones were there, but I just went in now and they are all gone done to the first ones she got when she aged up.
I hope this can be patched and they all come back.Seems to only happen when switching households. Saving the file and leaving the game had no issues. Also found no issues when going into CAS but when I switched households and came back, all milestones for infant GONE.
- librariantrait3 years agoRising Novice@crinrict If this info helps, it only happened when I was playing rotational households. I don't even usually play this way, I just accidentally clicked into a townie home which makes it that much more D:
- @crinrict for me it was when an infant stayed over at her grandparents- she lost every milestone
- @crinrict I had this happen with my infants and I do not play rotational. I have twins and both were sitting up, now one can crawl but the other got reset and can't even lift his head, im also unable to get him to relearn this ability (im assuming because he already learned it)
im having an issue where Milestones are only applying to one sim in the household and not the other sim. For example, starting first romantic relationship and falling in love only appleid to one sim i made and not the other sim i made. Even after they both had their first woohoo only one sim got the milestone for it. Also after visiting lots/ travelling my toddlers lost all their milestones and had to relearn them all, then received the "tired of milk" buff meaning the game recognized they had already learned foods before. I dont want to play the game until the milestone system is fixed as it was a huge sell for the expansion to begin with. the only fix i found for the adult sims having milestones while the other does not is to kill and revive the sim which i do not want to do constantly. There is no fix for infants. I cant take them anywhere with this bug. Kind of sucks you have to stay on the home lot the entire time and not do anything but watch the infant in fear all milestones will be wiped.
This happened to me too, I recently played a household and the adults both had self discoveries and the infant knew how to laugh and coo. I switched over to a new household and than back to the previous one and all there milestones are gone except for the ones they got automatically when first entering after the patch like have a baby and get married. Also like to add that exciting and entering the game to the same household doesn't have this glitch only if i switch to a new household.
I did a bit more testing and it seems to only occur if your playing another household for longer than a day. I you only switch for a few sim hours or min it doesn't seem to occur.
Been having similar problems but maybe it is slightly different. I do play rotationally. I got two infants (not twins) up to crawling and eating finger foods. One can even lift herself to stand with a couch. When I left the house and then visited the home from another household, both infants were by themselves on the sidewalk in front of the house, with apparently no skills at all. They just lay there like infants with no milestones, in the snow in freezing temps, crying. They couldn't seem to sit up or request any help. Had to knock on the door so I could bring them inside as no one from the house was apparently planning to do that. When I returned to playing the household, the infants had all their milestones.
So similar, but different. That said, I have also experienced finding the infants on the other side of the world but need to pay closer attention to the circumstances to report it. I've played with them vanilla both before and after getting the Growing Together EP, and again after adding back some limited mods that have been cleared or updated.
I play rotationally and had the exact same problem. All milestones reset when switching households or swapping sims into different households. We need a hot fix fast, this defeats the purpose of the whole pack.
- @Coulyndav Right, it's a very important part of the new package that's wrong, so I really hope that a fix comes along and fast to this and other problems of the new expansion, and that it doesn't take years, like some bugs of old packages never fixed...

This has happened to me yesterday. I play rotational families and when I switched back to the family with the infant all his milestones had disappeared. He could originally sit in the high chair and try food etc and is now back to square one
- Warzshadow3 years agoSeasoned Rookie
I just had this happen 4/3/23 . I have triplets. Got all their milestones., Foods tried, Finger foods tried. Swapped to the Grand Parents so they could have sleep overs with the Grand kids. Thought it was odd that they could no longer sit up in High Chairs. Figured its because they were at GP's House. They kept achieving Milestones at the GP's house. Everyone would gather, take pictures the infants would glow. So, after the sleep over I went back to the Main Family House. and there's Zero Milestones. Their Fun Bar is Mostly silver with the tip Green. Like it knows these Infants Achieved this already. I am on PC. I use No mods right now, Awaiting the Updates still. Kinda irked! It took along time to get the Infants to where they were. ALSO, My adults now show they have NEVER worked. When they had and achieved lvl 10 of their Careers before I decided to have Kids. *** Now that I have gotten most of the Achievements back my BIG problem is.: Try new Foods. They were all tried before so HOW do I Achieve this To move on To Finger Foods????? Good LORD!

I'm afraid this will NEVER be fixed....The worst thing when kids losing their milestones they forget EVERYTHING. Had to send a fully maxed kid to the kindergarden - got back a braindead imbecile unable to even sit......
Mine is when switching households (rotationally), as I do in my legacy save. I'm scared to have any of my sims move out now
I experienced this bug today and it is not consistent.
- No mods or CC, have never used
- Completely fresh install of the game, did not have it installed at all for a while and came back to try Growing Together
- Brand new save with a new family, family created in CAS with the infant created in CAS using the play with genetics option
Background:
I always maintain 3 saves for a playthrough just to have backups. I rotated to another family in the game to kind of set up a little story between them and my original family that was created in CAS. Original family consists of 2 young adults and 1 infant. The other family was created by the game and I added it to my played households. Before rotating to the other family, I had never left my created Sims lot and experienced no issues in a couple of days of playing.
Findings:
- After rotating families, my newest save always has the milestones reset for my original family when I load the save.
- My next save (previous one) sometimes has the milestone reset bug and other times doesn't whenever I load it. It seems inconsistent.
- However, I have been getting the "Item Removed" pop up in game sometimes. Unsure why as I have never used any mods and never had this message at any point before in the years I have played this game. I do not notice any missing items. I am playing on an empty lot that I built my home on from scratch and didn't even use cheats for decorating. As stated before, this is a brand new game that was created on 04/06/2023 on a fresh install with Growing Together already installed.
- I have noticed in the times I have loaded various saves that the milestone bug does not occur when I get the "Item Removed" pop up (which is also not consistent and does not happen each time I load the same save game), but if it doesn't then the bug occurs.
That's what I found after a few back and forths of loading saves. Hope that helps the devs narrow down a cause.
- IcedFyre3 years agoSeasoned Newcomer@crinrict I have the food milestones disappear after saving the game and exiting and starting up the same family. It has happened more than once under different conditions. In 2 different save game files. With no mods, if at all MCCC and WW when it first started irritating me. New game, new save, and it is still happening.
- MsElderSim3 years agoSeasoned Traveler@HoodedKeeper Have get the same message stating item removed. It is also inconsistent in my game. And I lost all milestones.

Mine too. My sims who lost milestones, can not get those milestones again. They keep shining as if they reach a milestone, but no milestone is reached.
