    1. Backup your save game
    2. Open the cheat console with ctl-shift-c
    3. Type: Testingcheasts true
    4. Type: cas.fulleditmode on
    5. Shift click on the Sim and choose Modify in CAS
    6. You should now be able to choose a different age class for the Sim so choose infant
    7. Exit CAS and then age the infant back up to toddler with the cake.

    @fireflyfree311 Sounds like your Sim is still an infant. This is a new stage that was added a while back.

    There's babies, infants, toddlers, children, teens, young adults, adults, elders now.

    Check the age bar if it says toddler or infant.

    Trying foods and peek a boo are infant interactions. If you age up your infant to toddler you'll get the toddler ones.

    ok let me make this clear, i am not a child so when i say my sim is a toddler, i mean they are a toddler. They can sit in a high chair, but cant play patta cake, can only be read to. they can also only sleep in a toddler crib, there is a sleep action when i click on the toddler bed with the toddler selected but it is always greyed out even if they are super tired. There is no option for the parents to put the toddler in the toddler bed. Literally all the parents can do with the kids with the parenting expansion pack is read to them and teach them new foods, i literally cannot teach them anything else. No potty training, to teaching to talk option, no teaching to walk option etc. They can play dolls.... but i cant teach them anything. 

    Heres the glitches:

    Parents can only play patta cake, bottle feed and read to infant. They cannot teach speech, potty train or put toddlers in toddler beds other than the crib.

    ill go on the game now and post some screen shots

    Okay, you're not a child. Neither are we. You just bought this game. We've been playing it for years. Chances are we know a bit more about it than you do. Perhaps you don't realize that a new life stage was added to the Sims about a year ago. Sims no longer go directly from Babies to Toddlers. Instead, Sims now go from Newborns to Infants, and then to Toddlers. Infants look a lot like Toddlers but they have very different interactions.

    Everything you tell us about your Toddler just confirms that you're actually talking about an Infant. Infants can sit in high chairs, just like Toddlers can, but the Infants don't get the same interactions  that Toddlers do. Infants can sleep in cribs, but Toddlers cannot. Toddlers sleep in Toddler Beds. There is no toddler crib. Teach New Foods is an interaction that only applies to Infants, not to Toddlers. Potty Training is an interaction that only applies to Toddlers, not to Infants.

    As you can see, everything you tell us fits if your Sim is an Infant but doesn't fit if your Sim is a Toddler. That's why we are convinced that you have just made a mistake about the age of your Sim.
