Help w/aged up babies->infants no interactions

I do not have the grow up pack or whatever it was called. However, EA gave us this category anyway. I am playing a household I haven't played since that pack came out and there is a toddler and 2 babies. The babies weren't showing up as family members - SMH - and since you can't interact with them, I couldn't fix it. I ended up aging up all 3 children - 1 child and 2 infants - in order to get them into CAS and fix the relationships. Now the infants can't be interacted with. They simply lay on the ground and sleep and cry. I got the message that the infants needed a crib so I deleted their baby cribs and placed 2 regular cribs. Still no interactions. Is there something I need to know about? I can't imagine they need a special crib that wasn't provided because that would be crazy, so must assume that the cribs should be fine. But my parent Sims can't even pick the babies up. They can wake them or have them nap and that is it.

Yes, I have tons of CC and game mods but I've been thru everything recently with yet another glitch, and I have BE. I've been playing the game with other households since that pack came out but I think every household since then has been with children already toddlers. So what's the deal with these infants and do I need something I'm missing?

  • It's likely you have an outdated mod that caused the bug with the relationships. What you're experiencing now sounds like further effects of that initial bug where the babies weren't related. Since the parents don't know the infants, they can't interact with them.

    Some possible workarounds:

    1. Play as the infant and have them smile at the parent. See if this unlocks their relationship.
    2. Hire a nanny and try to get them to introduce the infants to one of the parents.

    If this issue happens frequently, you should try the 50/50 method to test which of your mods causes the issue.
