    I am. I tried putting the alien toddler in his disguise and quitting, then coming back. It did not work for me.

    Would you be willing to share your save game ?

    If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload.

    Please make sure to name the zip file with your user name and a tag-word of the issue.

    I'm having this same issue. Here's my save folder. In this house the sim named Shayna can interact with the toddler no problem and vice versa but the one named Jaycee cannot pick the toddler up and the toddler cannot interact with Jaycee at all. I tried the switching into disguise and this gave the toddler the option to "call over" Jaycee but when I then tried to get Jaycee to pick her up the issues came right back and the switching in and out of disguise did nothing after that first time. Whenever I tell her to pick the toddler up this is what she does and then the action is cancelled out.

    Edited to say that the problem fixed itself somehow the next sim morning(or at least that's when I became aware that she was able to pick up her kid and the kid could talk to her again).

    Ok I uploaded one file. Hope I did it right, and I'm sorry it took me forever. I'm going to upload another game file that was doing the same thing. It should be named mgwat88AlienToddlerBug 

  • Well, I don't see the other file. Just try the one I uploaded and if it's not an alien baby file let me know. I'll try again

    I use mc command center. I took out my mods folder when the glitch first happened because usually something like this is caused by a broken mod but it was still happening with no mods. Then I decided that as long as other people could take care of the toddler I'd put my mods folder back in and keep playing. The glitch was still happening when I first put it back in but like I said in my last post somewhere along the way it fixed itself.

    Hi @bionicdesserts

    thanks for the answer.

    Just to be sure: It happened, then you took the mod out and it was still there ?

    It wasn't: You took the mod out, loaded a save from before it first happened and then it happened again ?

    This could be one of these issues where taking out the mod didn't immediately fix it but it was still caused by the mod.

    I'm going to leave this off the list for now as it's not conclusive what caused it in the first place.

    Moving this to general forum as it seems cause by mods.
