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.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with that particular lot, it is the same on other lots I've tried too, both residential and community. Children can't use the apple tank if it's placed diagonally, while the other age categories can, and I have absolutely no idea why. Like so many things in TS3, it's a real mysterie. :/

Was not aware this was a common issue at all and I don't see how or why reinstalling the game would actually help something like this as it's more likely the lot that is acting up and not the program files.Have you tried deleting the tank object and placing a new one in a different location on the festival lot, making sure to be in the correct season instance by way of the seasonal lot marker? Or perhaps replacing the entire lot with a fresh one?

I've had that same problem. I thought that they couldn't get the animations to work right.

Yes, that's worth a try but if it's the standard Sunset Valley festival lot with no changes made to it, then you would possibly already have a copy of it among the community lots. Or did we have to download those? It's been so long since Seasons was released, it's all beginning to seem like a blur now.But if it's the lot's orignal design that's at fault, @ciane who posted just after me would probably have seen that instantly and expertly provided us all with a fix for it by now. :)

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. ^_^

@TequilaPervz I'm using the default EA made Sunset Valley, what happens if you do that too, instead of the custom version by Ellacharmed?

This is what it looks like for me:
