Ok, I started out with all my custom content. I was playing a prebuilt sim in twinbrook, who I married off to another prebuilt in twinbrook. They have a toddler. Even after teaching her to talk, they cannot chat with her. Plus, the playpen that came with Aurora Skies glitches when the toddler uses the mirror. She starts the interaction then jumps out of it. Abacus works fine.
I started a new game, all vanilla, built a new family, moved them in, again to twinbrook, had the mother teach the toddler to talk. Chat interaction is still not there. I haven't tried to download playpen again to test that part tho. P.I. career seems glitchy but I suspect that is a bug that was already there.
