When I want my sim to take a bath they get in, and immediately get out a second later. This does not happen for showers. I do use custom content but never any mods. Please help!

I updated my game and have been playing just fine since the release but just a few hours ago, I opened up the game and my save and can't seem to bathe my toddlers. My household consists of 2 adults, 1 teenager, 2 toddlers, and a baby. I've had both adults and teenager attempt to give either toddler a bath but no luck. When I select them to give the toddler a bath, they put the toddler in the tub, but instead of washing and making the cleanliness bar raise, they immediately take them back out of the tub. I have no mods enabled, so that can't be an issue. EDIT: I just tested it with another randomly made family and it works just fine. It seems it's only that one specific save having the problem.

Marking this as solution for visibility. It's still a unsolved bug I can replicate this and it definitely seems to be the baby. If you have more than one floor, put the crib on a different floor than the baby. If you have one floor, put the baby outside while you bath the toddler This issue can also be caused by the talking toilet and a urn/tombstone close to the tub

The problem is the vicinity of the crib to the shower/tub. They get embarrassed because there is a baby in the 'room'. Walls and levels are ignored (and yes, this is a bug). Make sure you have at least 10 tiles between the shower and the cribs. I'm going to add your thread since it doesn't have a stand-alone thread yet.

From what I'm reading, the bug is caused by the baby Try aging the baby up to see if you still have the issue

Me too! I had the same stalling issues with the adults. Once the baby aged up to a toddler, everything ran much more smoothly, even though I now had two toddlers in the household (and no babies).

I have just installed the recent updates, and now my sims keep getting out of the bath (to see what's happening). They won't stay in the bath, it's really frustrating.

Are you using and mods in your game ?

If not could be this issue: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Queues-being-dropped-Done-in-wrong-order-Random-interaction/m-p/4997467

If you're using mods, remove them.

Yes she has twins. But my other sims that aren't adults yet still get in the bath and come straight out

Hi, I encountered a bug yesterday and even today when I am playing it's still occurring. Whenever my sim is dirty, I put them to shower and what they do is get in, shower for a second, and come out. So they keep staying dirty! After a few tries finally they will obey and shower/bathe completely but it's extremely irritating.

Hi, yeah I do have a baby nearby in the next room. That's probably why I'm guessing. I hope they remove the bug soon. Thanks! 🙂

Hi, this might sound amateurish, but what are 'mods'? I am also having a problem with my sims bathing. I have rearranged the bathroom, bought new tubs, everything... Maybe there is a mod issue?
