Please use this thread going forward: Infant/Toddlers needs Declined While playing another lot | EA Forums - 12082067
I have get to work for the sims 4 and after the infant update i had an infant in my household and another sim with a live career. I would join my sim to work but when my sim got home my infant’s needs would be extremely low. I had two other sims at the house and the infant was not cared for. I tried going to my career and pressing the care for self options but there was no way for me to care for my infant while at a live career. I think this is a bug or something. When I would go to live careers with a toddler at home before my other sims would be able to care for them fine so idk, but it’s really annoying
I have only found two solutions to this issue. One is to hire a nanny. The second is to leave one parent home full time (no job) OR move a young adult/adult in as a roommate/household member then designate that person as an adoptive caregiver.
It doesn’t even help to hire a nanny. I had the parents leave a newborn with a nanny to go to a holiday celebration. I could see that the baby was hungry, but he kept going upstairs and shushing her.
I know that’s a newborn, but I’ve had the same experience with infants. I can at least cheat the infant’s needs if I need to with UI cheats. Newborns, I just have to hope the incompetent nanny doesn’t get my baby taken away…
