Certain sims needs frozen and not decreasing

Hello, recently come back to sims 4 after a couple of years. I’m playing on a gaming laptop, which is also able to run sims 3 perfectly. 

I’ve downloaded a few mods. Had MCC at the beginning, no issues. My sim adopted a toddler, again no issues. I then installed a couple other popular mods for gameplay and obviously cc along the way. Again, no issues. She aged up all the way to a teen, like she is now with no issues. However, when she was a child. My sims had a bag together. And since the baby has been an infant/toddler, their needs have never decreased. I’ve tried everything under the sun. 

I’ve tried resetting her multiple ways. I’ve tried with testing chests on and resetting her, also with MCC too. I’ve also tried disabling and enabling her needs to decay also. I’ve had her travel to reboot the needs etc. When I shift click on her and disable then enable her needs decaying, it does work for about a minute. However as soon as it’s rebooted and hunger, fun or bladder go down for example. It freezes at that and won’t budge either way. 

To add to the confusion. My sim had another baby, and the same thing has happened with him too. I noticed it when he was an infant as I was going 24hrs without feeding him. And he was never tired. 

I’ve done lots of resetting sims. I’ve also run the game without mods enabled in the options. And reset them, still no positive result from that either. 

im not sure if its a known glitch with the game. I would have thought if it was mods that it would have been obvious when I ran the game without anything. 

any help or ideas would be appreciated as I’m thinking about deleting the save file, which I don’t want to do. But it’s driving me insane!

 

thanks in advance! :)

    Have you tested with mods removed? It sounds like you added a bunch more after the previous kid was already a toddler, and blocking need decay for infants sounds like something some people would mod intentionally.

    Chloe20039​  From what you've said, it sounds like you may have one or more glitched sims.  Most often that happens with downloaded sims, but it can happen randomly with your own CAS created sims or game created NPCs from time to time.  From what you describe, it sounds like it is all the born in game children of the same sim couple.  So, it is difficult to determine which sims are the cause of the glitch.  Could be the adults or the kids.  In your case, it appears the glitch isn't game breaking and fairly benign, so your decision is between either continuing to play as they are, delete them or start a new save.  You could take a look at the sims with SimInfo to see if there is anything unusual about them that you can correct with MCCC such as a weird trait assignment or a setting that freezes their motives.  But tbh, it's probably not worth the time unless you really don't want to stop playing the sims.  In the end, it may make no difference though and you stop playing them.

    Hope this helps.

    Also forgot to add 

    I installed a system to pin point any conflicts etc between mods. I did have some conflicts, so have since removed them as didn’t need them anyway. 


    and the needs can go up. For example, if the hunger went down after doing the reset that I mentioned. The hunger goes up after eating. It’s just that nothing decreases, no matter what I do 

    but the issue still persists
