The problems with the highchair may be due to the way you use it. Never put the toddler in the highchair first. Always klick the highchair first and choose the option to feed a toddler, choose the meal you want to feed him and the adult will prepare/get the meal. Then he will fetch the toddler and put him in the highchair. As the meal is already there the toddler will eat and when he has finished he'll call the adult to take him out of the highchair.

Definitely the best way to use it! Make sure if you have any other Sims who can help toddlers make sure they are preoccupied otherwise they will inevitably wait for the toddler to be in the high chair then they will pick them up put them down to check them and then do other toddler based things.

Okay, but what about when there are several actions in the queue?

You can kill the garden bug by starting a new save but two herbs are still bugged. Every morning at 5 am and sometimes at 5 pm they pop back up and your Sim can harvest them. I am not using any planters either. My garden is fine planted in the ground with a roof over it. They need to fix the planters and some seed packets. I planted from world plants or straight from the debug menu. I did not use seed packets.

Yeah I'm also surprised to not see any mentions of error 134 here? It locks you out of your save file, can't load any families etc. Some people have got around it by starting new saves, but obviously very frustrating for anyone who has been playing different generations/a longer story, and most times the error creeps back up again eventually. I haven't been able to play for over two weeks now, so for me it's completely unplayable.

I have annoying bugs also, and some are becoming more annoying the more I see it. Nothing that is game breaking.

Some oldies but goodies are making a comeback, washing hands and drinking water, doh. I do have mods but not sure if it's them or EA. I do have to say, this is the buggiest pack for me so far, and that's saying something after almost 6 years.

I never experienced as many issues with the S3 (or S2) version of the game as I do now with 4 after buying/downloading the new eco living pack. I simply despair at this point as I feel like a fool for even bothering to purchase the pack at full price. Well I will never do that again.

Oh and before anyone may believe I dont have the PC specs for the game I have a gaming desktop that was built to play sims games specifically..

Don't worry about your specs, Sims 4 has it's own problems and seeing how Sims 4 is coded even if it is light on the features it is AI heavy and like Sims 2 and Sims 3 before, as Sims 4 packs are added more computer resources are needed and Imho lower end may run into problems as time goes by. Also EA/Maxis does not tweak the system regularly as it has more than 14 packs intertwined with each other.

Since the eco-living patch my sims regularly get a negative moodlet for "having bad reception on an off-the-grid lot" after making a phone call while none of these lots where this happens on actually have the off-the-grid trait.

It's ok except for the lags. Sometimes, my Sims just standing still...the time is not moving, even though the game is not on pause. I wonder if they're petrified or we're getting a time travel theme pack. :p

EL is a mess. Full of bugs, main features broken... more than one month after release. I've bought at release, actually pre ordered it, and that's what i got from being a loyal costumer. And now we get a patch with no EL bug fixes and no words from the company for selling such a broken pack. Except for that reality show, that cringe misrepresentation of the game...
Anyway we did had worse before. IP in sims 3 was a bigger mess. I hope they fix EL...
