I’m wondering how sure people are that their infant actually practiced crawling all those times they were told to practice crawling. I’ve noticed that despite Sims’ need to keep picking infants up and putting them down, for this one action they never seem to carry them when they actually need to. If your Sim walks away from the infant and sits on the floor while the infant scoots toward them - this is not practicing crawling. This is the infant chasing after the adult because the actual practice crawling can’t start until the infant reaches whatever location the adult picked. Which they almost never do before the adult quits waiting. I’ve made a bug report.
It completely breaks storytelling, but so far the only infant I’ve had successfully learn to crawl was the one where I got fed up and made a little jail cell to lock mom & infant in together so mom couldn’t walk away. It only took a couple practices once I teleported them in there.
Side note… don’t teleport infants while they’re in the play mat…
I can confirm that my parent sims are in fact doing the actions. I make sure of it. Every second they can I’ve had them “practice crawling” and when the parents are busy with their other kids (they have two sets of twins) I have the infants doing tummy time on their own.
Out of all four children only one has gotten the milestone for crawling. I have them on long lifespan, and both my parents have maxed the parenting skill.
I definitely think this is a bug and should be reported. I would do it myself but idk how, lol. I almost never use the forum.
