    I've noticed that the play with dolls interaction is not working in my game if I am controlling the child sim and click on have someone else play dolls with them.  If an adult sim is the one I'm controlling, if I click on the dollhouse and invite the child to play, the interaction works.

    I have the base game plus the following: Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Dogs & Cats, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat Stuff Packs: Paranormal, Tiny Living, Moschino, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Toddler, Fitness, Bowling Night, Vintage Glamour, Backyard, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, Spooky, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Pation, Luxury Party, Dream Home Decore.  I play with mods, but this problem happens even if I remove all of my mods. I am playing the game on a Windows 10 machine.  The game version number is 1.175.125.1030,

    Also, if my child sim invites another child sim to his house to play, he/she can't get their child guest to play with the dollhouse with them.

    How do I fix this problem?

    Thank you.

    I also have this issue but specifically with pets. When playing as a child or toddler sim at the dollhouse and a dog or cat is nearby, the “invite to play dolls” interaction option immediately fails when selected with the cat or dog showing the “cannot move here” bubble even when nothing is in the way. I’ve tested this multiple times and nothing I try can get this interaction to work sadly ☹️
