Occasionally (10% - 49%)What is your current game version number? 1.97.42.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all except wedding stuff and most of the kitsSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Tbh I have no idea. The infants just stretch out randomly. Play the game until it happens I guess?What happens when the bug occurs? Infants stretch to the height of children out of nowhere. Just happened when I queued up a "practice crawling" interaction with its parent, who was downstairs. Infant stretched once, then went back to normal, then stretched again, then went back to normal again. What do you expect to see? Infants being infant sized and not stretching like weird monsters.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. Growing togetherThis is still happening. It doesn't happen every time any specific interaction is initiated, so I have no idea how to replicate it. Infants are just stretching to child size out of nowhere.

I don't get it at all.

@PansekshuElle Looks like you haven't updated your game though ? Is 1.96 your game version ? We should be at 1.97

I understand if you don't want to update but please check if you still have issues once you do updated.

This happened to me multiple times within the last 24 hours (it hadn't been happening before) Its happening for me when my sims "check infant" possibly at other times but the two times they have autonomously checked infant its happened.

My game automatically updates. It is whatever the current version is. If the version number is wrong, it’s a typo.

I don’t know if it’s the same issue or not, but this infant can’t crawl, and the stretching doesn’t happen on any predictable basis.

@PansekshuElle It's always important to double check the version in the main menu.

Is practice crawling the only stretching you still see ? Each interaction that has issues need to be fixed. The stretching usually occurs if the animation is missing for the interaction or the interaction wasn't supposed to be a thing for the infant int he first place (like the yell at), so each interaction needs to be fixed separately.

Does it say crawl for you or walk when you hover over the icons ?

@gooochyeee the typo could be either way so it's always best for the OP to clear up things.Since the report was rather broad, I needed to make sure they are on the latest one for this bug report.

@PansekshuElle As I explained to the other user, the typo could have been either way so I wanted to make sure.

Sorry if that frustrates you but you also have to understand my side, especially on issues that are potentially fixed. I will no longer bother you with any questions.

From what you said, it's probably the stretching issue that's still open.
