Since the baby update I havent had new offspring in my game. So I decided to have one to see what the baby update is about. Its still terrible to play with toddlers. Whenever I heavily interact with the infant/toddler other sims interfere with random interactions countering my commands.
Just a few moments ago I finally got the mother sim to put the toddler into the high chair. The option to put the toddler into the high chair doesnt work at all. The sim picks up the toddler and just stands there until I cancel the command. But the option to put the toddler there to give it food works. So after two sim days of the toddler eating from the ground I got it into the high chair and just when I was selecting food the father sim comes along, picks up the toddler and puts it down on the ground and walks away. Then I finally got the toddler back into the high chair, I had to move the applesauce or it wouldnt let me put it in, sit it down, move the applesauce back, force the mother to sit on the other side of the table, tell the toddler to eat the applesauce... and the toddler wants to be let out by the mother to eat on the ground!!! Meanwhile the toddler is near starvation during this chaos.
I cant find the right words for this. This has been an issue for years and its still not fixed. And thats not all.
When I instruct a sim to interact with the toddler to teach it to crawl or something, half the time a random household member comes and picks up the toddler. And then stands there doing nothing.
I still dont get the point of tummy time because every time the baby is crying and nothing is achieved. It makes no sense.
Half the time when the mother puts the baby into the very empty baby bed, hands it a kiss... on the neck... and then picks it up again. Just to stand there...
On another occasion the sleep deprived toddler went to bed, after a few minutes the father comes along... to tuck it it... while its already sleeping...
Help explore new food? Forget it ! It worked the first few times. But now my sim, with the baby in arm, just stands there and wont put her into the baby seat. Neither put down nor help explore foods works. The sim is just unresponsive. But when I cancel it suddenly he gets his free will back. Walking around? No problem. Suddenly the sim can put the baby into the seat without a fuss.
Cant I cry in my bed in peace? Forget it ! Household of two adults, two teens and the baby. Baby cries and two adults and two teens drop everything and run to the crying baby... and do nothing about it. They just stand there. Staring...
Breast feeding? Why is the mother suddenly mostly naked? Shes wearing a hat, bikini, gloves, long socks and shoes. All gone. How does that even make sense??
Only by accident I learned how to teach infants how to walk. Only to learn infants cant actually walk. Pulling up at a sofa is the highest form of movement they can learn. Because tree. When I aged it up to toddler walking was just there.
Is there nobody quality checking this stuff? This isnt playable. This is a bugged mess!
Still having really annoying issues with toddlers calling for a parent to pick them up to put them on chairs/seats/sofas that the toddler should be able to do without help. They use some seats on their own but for others they call their parent to pick them up to put them on/off the seat. Really needs a fix.
