  • @Kemanigoode03 These are both interactions that are specific to infants so the usual reason for stretching shouldn't apply.

    Did they have anything else queued up ? Do you remember ?

    Can you duplicate the issue every time ?

    I am able to do this everytime my infants try to complete this action. And no there wasn’t anything in the queue previously. I even repaired my game and took out all my mods to see if that was the issue but my infants never stretched before.

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I own everything except the new grunge revival.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Once the infant reaches the milestone for sit up, every interaction with the infant causes the infant to fully stretch, before being picked up by a sim, talked to by a Sim. Pretty much any interaction with the infant after learning sit up milestone causes them to stretch.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The infant stretches before any interaction with the infant after learning sit up milestone
    What do you expect to see? This problem resolved. It’s happening even when I have no mods or Cc in game.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. Infant patch 1.96

    Please assist with infant stretching after milestone sit up learned infant stretches upon every interaction

    I'm having the problem as well, in a freshly installed and repaired game, vanilla, L-files deleted.

    Once an infant wanted to lie down and another time an infant sat up in its crib. There was no interaction with an adult at the time as far as I could see though.

    I don't know if this has something to do with it, but I once, only once, had the same effect with the family dog, while an adult was talking to it.

    Hello all,

    If you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!
  • I just tried it out again with a new save, no mods, played for several Sims days. I had the infants sit up, lie down, crawl, and there was no stretching going on. It's nice, but I'm a bit confused. Has there been a patch since then? 🤔
