Footprint and exclamation point thought bubble

Hi I’m in a relationship and I have a baby and every time I try to get one of the parents to do some thing for the baby, like feed it, the thought bubble with the foot prints and the red exclamation point shows up and it won’t let me do anything. I don’t have any mods or cc, what can I do?

  • Usually it means they can't get to the crib. Try moving it into a more open space, then they should be able to walk there. Or, something might be blocking them from getting into the room itself.

  • @emrz27    Hello!  If it's not a routing failure as @emrz27 suggested, it's possible the parents need to be introduced to the infant.  This was a bug that was fixed in the 18 April patch but if you're playing a save that you started before that patch, the bug was likely not fixed for that save.  Perhaps try hiring a nanny.  The infant should be able to ask the nanny to introduce him or her to the parents.  I know that sounds strange but it was one of the suggestions that worked for the bug.  Hope this helps!

    Hi why when i try to make a baby the footprint with an x bubble chat appear and i cant make a baby

  • @Hamyte There can be multiple reasons for this. One is that something is blocking the Sims from using the animations they need. Clear more space around a bed, for example. (This is a less common issue with other woohoo locations.) The other can be that you have bed-related mods that need updating. You'll find some listed under broken or updated in Broken/Updated Mods & CC . If you're using my bed mod and run into this for a bed that has lots of space around it, please let me know which bed. We thought we got them all but might have missed one.
