Toddler Doesn’t Do Anything/Interact With Anyone

Question

I’m using Mods but I’ve never came across such problem before except for some broken mods&nbsp;which I’ve deleted. The game plays smooth, it rarely gets laggy and everything works just fine.
The only thing my Sim can do is pick him up, that’s all. No feeding, playing, teaching, putting to bed, absolutely nothing.&nbsp;

You can see in this&nbsp;screenshot what happens&nbsp;BEFORE an interaction and what happens AFTER an interaction (when my Sim fails to do anything&nbsp;related to&nbsp;Oliver or when Oliver himself can’t go to a certain place after I tell him to). I even tried the Reset Sim cheat which didn’t work.

If anyone has a solution, please tell me. ☹️&nbsp;

You'll need to remove all your mods

See this for more information:&nbsp;[PLEASE READ] Usage of Mods and Custom Content

Don't put anything back until you're sure it's either safe with the patch or updated (in which case you put in the updated version)

I have the exact same problem since my game needed to be updated today. My toddler wont do anything for longer than a second. He will start tasks and finish them as soon as he started them, therefore never filling any bars. Doesnt matter if I make him do things or if its interactions with other sims, like giving the toddler a bath. All other sims work fine.

I dont use any mods tho. No custom content either. Just the base game and seasons expansion pack, as is.

Any ideas?

@erdbeerjanaX Toddlers are a bit broken currently.

There's several threads in the bug forum

There have also been reports with sleeping issues.

Maybe try resetting the toddler to see if it gets better ?

@DeepRedHood Toddlers are unplayable to glitchy! This is a persistent problem
