I've repaired the game 3 times now, it just keeps coming back.

Just in case you don't know what WildIrishBanshee means by "resetting" the toddlers, there's a child that will get them to let go of whatever object is in their hands and allow you to make them do what you need them to. When in game, when the toddler gets stuck, press Ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat bar, then type "resetsim Firstname Lastname", replacing "Firstname Lastname" with the glitched sim's full name. Kind of annoying to do repeatedly, I'll admit, but at least you'll get to play your game until they fix this bug.

By the way, does anyone know if this is new? This has been happening a lot in my game as well, and I hadn't had so much trouble before, but I didn't play between the previous patch and the most recent one, so either it is from one of the latest two patches, or it just got worse.

Edited to tag someone: @georgiegirlsims This might help you as well.

Do the gurus look at these forums for info or is it better to post to the EA help page?

Definitely the EA help page. The gurus don't seem to visit the forums often, at least not for bug reports.

This is a new one on me. Every time the toddler goes to close the umbrella. I was attempting a toddler play date, did the best I could with what's going on with them currently. But I do wish my toddler could talk to the other toddlers that was a little annoying.


Note: Just thought I would share this image. Sometimes these bugs can do funny things.

No multitasking while lounging

Of all the things that are missing, I found lounge chairs to be the most bizzare! Sims can't talk, use their phones, read, listen to music on the earbuds. Nothing.

Yeah, I thought it took them nearly 5 years to bring lounge chairs back because they had to work it into the multitasking system. But then the only thing I know you can do on them is drink beverages. Even sims in previous games could do more than that.

I feel like this is the sort of thing they'll fix later, but I just find it bizarre that it took them all that time to make lounge chairs that don't support multitasking that much

Yes it's very disappointing as it is that only one sim can ride the boats.

Definately a toddler fix is needed asap.
Also, I am having problems with certain careers.. The diving career seems to get to level 3 and then sticks and nothing shows up for the daily tasks or level climbing task.
And the detective career is playing silly sausages too, my sims seem to get to level 5 or about and then call an APB only to find that the suspect to arrest is also a police officer and there is no option to arrest them so my sim can not level up in that career.
Has anyone else had those problems too?

Really hoping they fix mermaid and vampire genetics (aliens are fine somehow,) the toddler glitch, and sims putting grilled food in their personal inventories.

The Diving Career is part time, so I think it's only supposed to have three levels.

I think the acting career is now bugged, too. I had two actor Sims (different saves) and when you click on the job icon to get a new acting gig or see what tasks they need to perform for their current gig, it's as if they don't have a job at all. Weird and annoying *sigh*

From what I heard it’s related to a UI extension mod. Regardless this should be reported on the bugs site.
