For the first time ever since playing the Sims, I lost a toddler due to neglect because needs weren't met while the toddler was at daycare.
The first pic I've attached shows the needs the toddler had on the mom's return from work the day before being taken away. The needs were this way even though the father was off work that day and should have been caring for the toddler. At any rate, I worked to get them up as much as I could before going to work with her doctor mother the next day. When she got home, all the toddler's needs were in the red even though she had been sent to daycare and I couldn't get anything up fast enough to prevent the toddler from being taken away, as shown in the second pic. I didn't get a pic of all the needs being tanked since I was scrambling, trying to avoid removal from the home.
I exited the game without saving, rolled back to the prior save and had the mother take a vacation day to avoid a negative outcome. I did pull the .save file that had ended with the toddler being removed from the save folder. I moved it to a folder on the desktop and renamed it and then physically changed ver0 to .save to replay. Since I don't save the game while I have a sim on an active career lot, the save I pulled shouldn't have the toddler already at daycare but should be able to be replayed to that point easily. If you think that save would be helpful @SimGuruIcarus lmk and I'll upload for you.
