    What happens when the bug occurs? When you click on the interaction to play peekaboo or to read a book to the infant the sim will cancel the interaction and just stands there without doing the interaction as for the reasing a toddler book interaction the sim just stand ther with the book on her hands and it will only work if the infant is on the playmat

    I am also having this problem. The Sim and the infant just kind of idle for a bit before it cancels out. 

    There's only so many interactions to begin with so this is pretty disappointing.

    I've noticed recently that "play peekaboo" tends to actually get animated as "stand still holding the baby for several seconds while staring at them" but according to the action queue supposedly they're actually doing it? I haven't gotten the milestone for learning peekaboo in months, but then, that was always a hard one to get. The infant's attention need does go up.

    Same issue here. Mom just sits there in the chair holding the book and they stare at each other until it cancels out.

    I really wish this interaction would work. ☹️

  • Yeah I wondered why my sim didn't do a suitable animation when I told her to play peek a boo with her infant (outside of the crib), but this explains it. I really wish it would work properly.
