    Yes. I did that first. Why would I post if I hadn't already done a factory reset? This happens with infants and pets. I thought maybe a full reset would work. The problem still exists. It seems to be a very common issue. Most people find it happening from a mod.

    i have ZERO mods.

    i have already factory reset.

    how can this glitch be fixed? It's very difficult to enjoy my gametime with these weird limbs and watching them walk.

    i did have the weird arms and body error we all had when GT first came out.

    The spider legs is a completely different issue. I can only assume it is another iteration of the original crazy limbs glitch.

    NO MODS 

    FACTORY RESET

    Ok I had a look. One of the infants did have the stretched legs issue. This stopped happening when I had taken care of their needs (green fumes means diaper change). I would advice against adopting three infants when you have such limited room. It will also give you better time to care for just one until you get a better hang of the game. One of infants are ready to age up so make a cake and add birthday candles then help the infant blow them out. If you wait until they auto age you will have one unhappy Toddler for a while One of the others will be ready to age up in one day so save the cake the third still have a couple days. You will need three toddler beds which you really do not have room for so perhaps abandon this save and start over or cheat some money and get a bigger house. One other thing the bee box is placed too far from the planters to be of use. You don't have anything planted though so it doesn't really matter. Gardening is a great way to make money. I hope this helps you.

    One last thing your cat was sick and needed to go to the Vet. When a pet is uncomfortable you can click it and as "What is wrong" to see what they need.

    Yeah. ty. I'm not a new player and I did know those things. I had removed my empty mod folder again to see if the error repeated itself. I adopted 3 toddlers in a small space on purpose. I have another challenge with 6 toddlers in a 2 story house with the same problem. I didn't realise there was a size requirement because I know I can technically create a tiny home and I don't think it limits the number of people in your household.

    The whole point was to raise them [I turned off aging on purpose] without having a job

    It is not that there is a size limit on the house as such but while your three infants can sleep on the floor (a crib would have been better) Toddlers need toddler beds to sleep in or they will be taken away for neglect once they pass out from lack of sleep. Don't know why you had let the adult pass out she has a bed to sleep in.

    Forgot to mention that it is normal for infants and Toddlers legs(arms) to occasionally stretch when reaching for something a bit higher up (food on the table or in the case I saw reaching for his mother) . Looks funny foe a second when it happens. You can on rare occasions see it with a child as well when reaching for a shelf. I asked for a save as I didn't quite understood what you meant with "spider limbs".

    They're not toddlers. They're infants. I sold the beds for simoleans bc they can sleep on the floor. The mum is passed out because she was unable to sleep with 3 toddlers carrying on at all hours. It's part of the scenario I've created. They're in the house they could afford but I will try to expand. The stretching happens in every game. Every time I play the sims the cat and/or the children all get spider limbs and it is creepy and ruining my gameplay. That is why I was hoping there was a solution. It is a very common issue. There are tumblrs dedicated to these errors. They've been an issue since GT release. I was posting because I wondered if there was an actual fix to resolve the problem completely

    Aging is turned off. I do believe I mentioned it! I don't need toddler beds right now. There are no toddlers until I say so

    Yes I know they are currently Infants but as i had no prior knowledge of you playing with aging off i gave you recommendations based on what I saw as I do not have aging off.

    That they occasionally stretch when they reach for something have absolutely no influence on gameplay. And yes you may see it in every game where you have infants/toddlers. You can cut down on how often they have to stretch by keeping things they would stretch for on a level where they do not have to do that to reach it. For infants that is pretty much restricted to toys for Toddlers there is also food items. And it is not an error that they stretch for somethings like I mentioned before. If you had cribs to place them in it would not be as hard to keep up with them instead you could sell the empty coop. playmats will also help you do already have one of these. Start gardening to make some simoleons. Getting the mom a career will also help. Don't worry about the infants they will be sent to daycare automatically while she is at work. Do this and before you know of it your economy will be thriving.
