Now read toddler to sleep NOW!!!!!!!! Nope can't do it WHY???? Why won't father winter give my toddlers a present? Why is the ask for present not even there half the time? Why are my sims constantly dropping Q's? Why are my sims standing around for an hour for each Q they don't drop? I am screaming why, Why, WHY!!!!!

    Have you removed your Mods folder? Do so, if you have mods and cc, then do a game repair. Test it and if all is well, then if you have mods and custom content, slowly return them to your game. I do it one at a time. Some do batches at a time, the 50/50 test. I prefer to nail down the culprit. Best of luck to you!


    I have no mods or CC and I never had any in my game.

    When I had this issue a while ago, I placed a chair near the toddler bed and voila: The parent could not sit in the toddler bed, but he could sit on the chair beside the bed and there he was able to read the toddler to sleep. I don't know if this works still but it is worth a try. :)


    I will try that next thanks.


    Oh and also try these:
    - Click on the toddler bed "Read to sleep"
    - Click on Parent to ask Toddler
    - Click on Toddler to ask Parent

    Sometimes only one of these options work, so maybe if you try them all one of them will work. :) Good luck.


    Beeb there done that on all three.

    OMG !!!! Now all my plants are going back to piles of dirt. They are in season, I was just about to send my sim to harvest when they all turned in front of me. I new it just became spring so I double checked and yes they are in season. What the heck are they doing to this game. I'm playing another save, he's trying to live off the land Eco style. How is he going to survive without his garden.
  • I'm also having trouble reading toddlers to sleep now, in a vanilla save. The toddler bed has space on both sides and it isn't raining (some time ago, it was literally impossibly to read a toddler to sleep when it was raining). And when they do, the parent picks up the toddler from a vast distance, and the toddler zooms into their arms. Weird.

    Edit: Spelling
  • I found that by picking up the toddler first, then queue read to sleep, the adult sim will carry the toddler to bed and read them to sleep.
    Works every time for me.
