@AlexMarieSims123 Oh, my... bless your heart. You're dealing with two toddlers at once with the current toddler issues? I don't know how you're doing it. I have 'raised' many toddlers in Sims, and right now it's nearly impossible to raise them correctly when other things are going on the household - in your case a mom, 3 children, and another toddler. There's a current issue where toddler needs are decaying more quickly than usual. I'm up to my elbows dealing with one currently in a large household, and I cannot play the toddler normally now. If I do it will pass out many times and both of us will be miserable while inching along to survive and slowly add skills to age up. So, with this in mind...
You said the toddler would not eat the salad and then was taken away.
If your toddler refuses to eat again and gets 'stuck' or seems glitched, a few thing s you could try are:
- Reset the sim
- Exit and re-enter the lot to see if it reset
- Try a needs cheat if the toddler is a fussy or buggy eater and it's just too much and risking it's life in the game with the current toddler issues.

Were there issues already with care and difficulties like those I mentioned that I'm seeing in my game?
If you're having issues like I am with to toddler care, this is what's working for me currently:
- My toddler bedroom/area is centrally located. It's very near the bathroom (the toddler will need to be bathed).
- I locked the doors/gates to accessing any other floor of the lot or the outdoors for the toddler (so it stays in central area of the one floor).
- I added a potty in the toddler's bedroom.
- I brought all of the toys the toddler will need into the bedroom.
- I made sure there are a couple of surfaces the toddler can reach so I can drag platters or a serving of food onto one surface and the toddler can eat (add a comfy chair in the room and the toddler will eat on it) then the toddler will leave the plate on the additional surface area in the room that is available (clear dishes by dragging them to the trash can).
- Wake the toddler halfway through sleep to use the potty then have them go back to bed (unless the bladder is not low yet, which it always is in my game).
- Yon may need to feed the toddler again in the middle of sleep. I've been finding it takes almost two plates/feedings to have the hunger meter get full sometimes, depending on if the toddler finished, so you may have to feed them more often.
- Have a bookshelf & dollhouse and blocks in the room so there are interactive things adults are doing with them. Just being there is not enough to count for 'attention'. These things will increase their skill while also keeping the attention meter up.
Remember that pause is your best friend and getting in or near the red on any of the toddler's needs meters is your enemy. Everything gets way worse once a need gets in the red, and if more get in the red, responses can bog, delay, queues can drop (more than before) and things can tank in a fast hurry.
Hope this is of some help. Please let us know how it goes!
