Adult sim won't pick up toddler
 I just reinstalled my Sims 3 game and all of it's expansions. I created my first household which has one cat, a toddler, and an elderly woman. I tried to set up their relationship as mother in daught...
They should be still there. No worries.
You can also backup the house to the library to be extra sure. Go to edit town and save the house.
Okay first off thank you, that seemed to work. I have another problem, I had uninstalled and redownloaded and installed The Sims 3 and all it's expansions, because before my game would keep freezing and sometimes it would crash, when I started playing before the issue with the grandmother not picking up the toddler the game ran smoothly. Now the game is running not so smoothly, it keeps freezing up, it has yet to crash, but why does it keep freezing up on me???
Try resetting all your Sims in your town with resetsim *
To do so
This should put all your sims and animals to a safe location.
You might have a stuck Sim somewhere
