[MOD RELATED] sims keep picking up/putting down infants over and over?

@krisisvp I suppose it depends on what you mean by over and over. I have had some amount of that happening, but not excessively (and nothing like it was with the highchairs before the new updates). If you're having a lot of it, you could try moving the whole Mods folder to the desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then re-enter the game in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring and don't save. If the issue's gone you'll know to check your Mods & CC. 

I find this annoying too, it seemed to be from the caretakers and not necessarily from the parents. I fired them. But you're right, in general, there seems to be an overall excessive picking up and setting down of infants in the game for sure.  I am also having an issue with the parents taking the infants out in the back carrier, setting them on the ground in some random place, then abandoning them only to run home to take the trash out!  They never seem to realize they left their infants at the park unless I specifically instruct them to go back!? LOL. I wish we could lock them in the back carrier so they couldn't be deserted like that. CPS is going to have to intervene. 

@shatterhex Wow, that stinks! I'm too much of a micromanager... I haven't even taken them anywhere in the pack, but leaving them at a park would be disturbing, to say the least!

I did have an annoying and disturbing number of times that the parents, grandparents or aunts/uncles (I have all on the lot) and the butler took the infant into the yard in the fall/autumn in weather registering as 'cold', and set the infant on the ground only to stand there or leave... or sometimes change the infant into winter clothing... until the infant was filthy and extremely low on hygiene. One time I had 3 adults standing there with two filthy infants on the ground. I think what finally kicked in the need for someone to tend to them was for the hunger to get low enough, or for energy to get low enough to kick in the desire to put them in a crib. I was quite perplexed that the hygiene level didn't alarm them into action earlier than that (and that they took the infant into the cold and put them on the ground).

Baby in any red should bring action, imho, if no one is currently interacting with them. I had several interactions with the now hygiene that were the butler decided to act... and he changed the outfit (which very slightly raised the super low hygiene). Diaper change and bath at this hygiene level should have occurred to parent/grandparent/butler.... all of them. That said, I had tons of times that the butler and parents/grandparents reacted autonomously and very appropriately, just not always... and why this was the case left me scratching my head and/or very annoyed at times. (It was killing me to wait to see what it took to get an auto-action for the babies in the pic here!)

I don't play with Mods/CC, have all packs, and these are long-time played Sims with tons of skill, parenting, and no weird traits.

Wow, I just laugh so hard at the interactions with the infants, it is definitely entertaining. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

i play on Xbox One absolutely no mods obviously and a few glitches here and there but my sims picking up and putting their infants and toddlers down is absolutely the most annoying thing. I try taking care of my babies and my sims just keep putting them on the floor and it's about driven me mad. It really upsets me because I don't know if the sims team is actually going to fix it because they still haven't fixed so many other issues. It's so dissapointing after buying all the dlc sims 4 has to offer I've spent well over 1,000k on sims 4 and over $350 or so on the sims 3 franchise. I wish they weren't associated with EA or they just change people on the team because at this point they are getting a bit ridiculous I absolutely love this game and it'd be so much better if they didn't overlook serious issues all the time

NO MODS (CONSOLE) I have this problem too and I can't even describe how massively annoying it is. my sim will put the baby to sleep and then immediately pick them up, put them on the floor, pick them back up and stand there. they'll even pick them up and just put them back in the crib, sometimes they'll even wake the baby up just to put it on the floor. this little bug needs to be fixed asap.
