Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Pick up a serving of food. Drag it either to a toddler or a high chair. Have the toddler try to eat the food. For infants, try putting them to bed or having them babble.
What happens when the bug occurs? The toddler will just sit there. The food disappears from their inventory and an action will appear for the toddler to eat, but nothing happens. With the infants, they will not go to sleep despite it queued nor will they babble when queued. They will just idle.
What do you expect to see? Toddlers eat the food either on the high chair or in their inventory. Infants will go to sleep when the interaction of trying to sleep completes and they will babble when it is queued.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Updating my game to the July 18, 2023 patch.
Here is a screenshot of my toddler just sitting there, not eating despite the action being there.
Her hunger need is in the red. I tried feeding her in the high chair, on a bench and now on her bed. She pulls the food from her inventory, but it doesn't show up for her to eat. She just sits there looking upset. I had to cheat filling her needs up just so she wouldn't get taken away. I thought it was a problem with the high chair, but even out of the high chair I can't seem to get them to eat. She is a werewolf and I did make her after the recent patch. I have yet to test in other saves and see if it affects all my toddlers or if it is just affecting this one toddler.
Edit: So, I had saved and exited the save to the main menu. Upon loading up the save, she is eating now. I have no idea why she was bugging out despite trying to reset her and moving her around, but she is eating now. I will add more if I see this pop up again.
Edit 2: I tweaked the title to match more of the problem as well as adjusting the frequency as it doesn't happen 100% of the time like I initially posted, but has happened a second time in the span of a day.
