There are multiple activities from small businesses recycled for custom venues and getaways such as "horses play and learn" "pets play and learn", etc. but there's no way to have the custom roles to actually be any of the pets or infants/toddlers. Please add this even if they don't spawn with caregivers. The whole point of Custom Venues is for us to decide how the lot functions.
[AA] setting up family getaways doesn’t work because I have to leave my infants and toddlers at home! There’s no option for them to join
The youngest sims that can be chosen are sims. There is an action to care for infants and toddlers but no way to have infants and toddlers dropped off to participate in the custom venue or getaway role.
This is probably more of a cross-pack compatibility / feature issue than a bug.
I tried to create a horse camp, but there is no way to assign horses to the camp except to have them in your household and call them over. This means that your sim needs to be able to house a horse when you’re not at camp, which is contrary to the whole point.
livestock work the same way. You can’t assign an animal to the venue without buying them yourself. There needs to be a way to assign horses, dogs and cats under “roles” and have livestock just exist automatically when their sheds are placed.
you're right and so is this: [AA] Getaway: Can assign Care Toddler/Infant activity but but no role | EA Forums - 12705435 but it's the weekend and things are slower to get decisions from Community Managers to make so I've left these for the moment.
My guess is that they will all be merged though.
This is literally the report below, which was somehow moved to feedback instead of being taken into consideration

So I noticed that you can set a Getaway Role Activity to care for Toddlers & Infants but cannot set up a Getaway Role for Toddlers or Infants to even be there. What Toddlers or Infants would they be taking care of?

Still testing this to see if I can get any additional information. When I stay on the lot (we're at 5 days now lol).. around 1 two npcs dogs (not strays) will zone in, but they leave as soon as they are greeted by a sim.
The same sims stay on the lot or return right after leaving if they're on the brink of a visit with Grim. No pets have zoned in.
When I actually delete the sims who originally spawn, new sims do come to the lot, but like the first batch they have the "pet owner" tag but do not come with pets or actually are in households with pets.
Did some more testing here:
I can build a custom venue and schedule things like play with pets, feed pets, pets play and learn. Except when I go to the lot the only thing that spawns are human npcs. They have the tag "pet owner" but no pets come with them. The lot does have the dog friendly trait, the obstacle course does work - just no pets spawning.
If I add the trait for stray dogs - a couple of those do show up for a little while, and npcs will kind of interact with them, but not run the obstacle course or do any training activities.
Possibly related - NPCs do not change out no matter how long I stay at the venue. None of the normal "person X leaves and person Y arrives happens."
Considering the false advertising of these features and the fact the team put options in getaways you can’t use, this is definitely a BUG not FEEDBACK.
Yeah this is a bug, not feedback!
