One parent cant pick up infant suddenly.

Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.97.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except basement treasures kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure as I'm not sure what triggered it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Mother can't interact with infants but father can
What do you expect to see? Both parents being able to care for children

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

So, my sim and her husband have a child and everything was fine, both could interact just fine, then suddenly when I loaded my game up yesterday, the mother wasn't able to interact with any of her infants. The dad however can interact with them just fine. The mother gets the route error bubble whenever I try to interact with the infants in anyway. I've tried resetting both the mother and the babies and that hasn't worked. I do have mods, but everything was fine up until this point, all of my mods are up to date and I don't have any that conflict that I know of. I've removed all my mods and now I'm trying to load the save and the save won't even load at all now so I have no idea what is causing this.

  • UPDATE: this issue seems to have resolved itself on its own. For some reason removing my mods and putting them back fixed it! Still don't know what caused it or why it suddenly works now but I'm not gonna complain.

  • This just happened to me all of a sudden yesterday too.  The mom cant interact with the infants in any way 100% of the time for me though.  

  • @CrunchyPie821 Do you play with mods out of curiosity? I wasn't able to test myself without mods as the save wouldn't load without them and removing them and adding them back fixed it for me. Still not sure what caused it but I may update this if it happens again to me
