AI being BAD and sims need reseting alot

After some time I decided to come back to sims 4. But stopped (frustrated in everything) playing after less than an hour because of AI acting stupid and needing to use resetsim a lot. 

AI has decided to be overactive towards toddlers. They might stop everything just to go and let a toddler out of highchair just after (like couple of seconds ago!) I put them there to get food. The other sim puts the food in front of the toddler at the same time as the other lifts the hungry-as-*ell kid out. Or the kid already has the food in front of them and they leave hungry because an adult sim decides to lift them out. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Or then a child wakes up in the night because he needs to go to toilet. But instead they go to take a shower even when they almost wet themselves?

The other thing is sims stopping everything. They get stuck, just standing somewhere doing nothing, even if they have things in their que. Nothing happens if you remove the tasks from que or add new ones. In less than an hour I needed to use resetsim three times...

I have no mods, no CC, and I have the newest patch. This game has been out for 5 years and it still has a lot of stupid AI issues like these..

    Hi @Sozki 

    There's currently two open high chair issues: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Toddler-keeps-asking-food-too-often-and-in-high/m-p/6425471 and https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Toddlers-taken-Out-of-High-Chair-Before-Food-is-Finished/m-p/6306597

    It's best to post in the one that fits your issue better.

    As for the getting stuck, does that happen in all houses/lots you play ? Could something be blocked that they try to use often autonomously ?

    I'll contribute my problems with highchair to the latter, thanks!

    I currently have only one household that I play and just moved them to a new lot. I can't remember the sims stopping and getting stuck happening this much before, but it has been happening from time to time, always. I haven't figured out anything that would connect these cases as they happen in different rooms, different times in completely random situations in the middle of task que. Yesterday it was first a sim who was live streaming his music mixing and got stuck after ending that task and never started anything new from task que (until I used resetsim). Second was a sim eating. I don't know why he stopped eating but after putting the plate away they got stuck and needed resetsim to start functioning again.

    I maybe need to play a bit more to see if these sim freezes are in any way related to the toddler-obsessing and high chairs... I'll probably first get rid of the high chairs and see where that leads.

    Yeah, ditch the high chairs.

    Leave food out instead. The toddlers will help themselves.
