Nanoo Nanoo Bassinet

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just use the bassinet. Baby sticks to bassinet and cannot be moved. If you want to put a different baby in a different bassinet, this is not possible with the Nanoo Nanoo bassinet. Furthermore, if you hold select and click on the bassinet with a baby in it, it will duplicate the baby an infinite number of times (depending on how many times you clicked the bassinet with the shift key selected - to duplicate). So, I ended up with a lot of babies and had to exit out without saving.
What happens when the bug occurs? Baby sticks to the bassinet and cannot be removed. Baby inside bassinet is duplicated any number of times when shift-clicked to duplicate. This in Build Mode, obviously.
What do you expect to see? I would expect that the baby can be moved to a different bassinet in Build Mode... and, I would expect that a baby is not duplicated each time *-click is pressed with a baby in it to duplicate the bassinet. Also, another issue in this bassinet, but also in all bassinets... why does an Alien baby look like an Alien baby when held, but inside any bassinet, they look like a human baby?/?/?
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

‌

Nanoo Nanoo bassinet makes any baby in it stuck so that baby cannot be moved in Build Mode to a different bassinet. Even further, if shift-clicking in Build Mode, such as to duplicate an item, while a baby is in the bassinet, multiple babies will be created, relative to the number of shift-clicks... literally infinitely.

Well, that makes no sense that it puts a baby where it wants and we can’t have a baby be in a decorated item that we choose.

They need to work on why a sim doesn’t know after birth that the baby might need attention and feeding. Maybe someone should make a mod to help with parenting. Even in the same room with a crying baby they don’t know what to do 😞
Then, the bug obviously is the duplication aspect.
Thanks for your clarification.

Have you tried testing this issue without mods? Move them somewhere else on your computer, delete localthumbnail.cache from your Sim 4 folder in Documents and repair the game in Origin.

I was under the impression you can't change which bassinet a baby is inside

@WyllRavengard The baby is an object tied to the bassinet. Basically, the bassinet is the object with the baby in it.

Are you saying you can move them to another one if you use a different bassinet ? I don't have an alien baby with that bassinet but I can't duplicate the crib I'm using so does the duplicating only happen on the alien baby crib and if so, did you test that part without mods ?

Actually the baby stuck in it is a human baby. The alien baby was at home and the mother was away when going into labor and had twins at the hospital. When we get home, I had planned to put the alien baby in the nanoo nanoo bassinet, but the game had one of the human twins in the bassinet.
So I wanted to move the alien baby to the nanoo nanoo bassinet and move the human baby to the other bassinet ... but it will not allow that to happen.
The alien baby is in the wrong bassinet and the human baby is stuck on the nano nano bassinet. When I shift click the nanoo nanoo bassinet with the human baby in it, it produces more and more and more human babies.

@WyllRavengard but that's not a bug, that's normal (not the multiplying, that sounds odd and I need you to test this on a modless game) but once a baby is in a crib, they become one object.

@WyllRavengard Did you test that without mods installed and it's still happening ?

I will do that. But, I can successfully say that this is the only bassinet a baby can’t be removed from, even if mods are allowing it with all the others.

@WyllRavengard

What steps are you using to move them from one bassinet to the other ?

Maybe I'm wrong and there is a way ? Just don't know how it would work.

If it's a mod allowing it, then you should talk tot he creator of the mod so they can include it for the alien bassinet.

@WyllRavengard: I do know that there is at least one mod that allows you to move a baby out of his/her bassinet that I've seen on Mod The Sims called Good Baby Movement, and while typing this, I found one called Kiolometro's Baby and Crib on The Sims Resource. Are you using either of those?
EDIT: Oh! Almost forgot, are you using any custom skins? I wonder if that's why your baby changes skin colors depending on his/her location.
