Children Can't Bob For Apples

I'm not sure what's going on, but my Child Sims can't use the Apple Bobbing Tank that appears with the Fall Festival Grounds. There is an option for them to enter the competition but, if I click on it, they act like something is in their way. The adults can use the tank just fine. I don't understand what's going on. I tried searching online, and I see there have been a couple of posts about it here, but no resolution given. I don't want to uninstall the whole game or any other drastic troubleshooting option for just this issue. Is there anything else I can try? I have most of the NRAAS mods already and have attempted resetting the object.
  • I must not have moved the tank far enough last time. Moving it worked, but it still isn't functional in the originally intended place. I don't want to have to reorganise the lot. I'm used to it in that layout from all my time with this game. I'll look in the community lot list to see if it's there.

    Edit: I found the festival grounds in the community lot list, but it made no difference. Also, I can't find an area on the grass that works. The kid will only use the tank if it's on one of the big paths that criss-cross the lot. I don't understand why he can use it there and not where it was originally. The teens, young adults, adults, and elders all can. Maybe I'm not understanding the issue ciane mentioned about the animations. I had figured if that was my problem then the kid shouldn't be able to use it even if the tank was moved.

    Rotate the apple tank a little bit until it's placed straight, not diagonally. Works for me. :)


    Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me. Thank you for the suggestion though. ^_^
  • I made the mistake of not backing up the original world file. Even if I had the file, I don't think I'd be up to checking. I just want to play at this point. In future, I'll test it out to see if makes a difference, but I think that angle would bug me more than the issue. Maybe that's weird of me.
