I was playing the sims 4 and my sim recently had a baby. My sim also had toddler twins so it was quite a stressful situation so I wanted to cheat he baby's needs and there was a little bubble with no text in it and I decided to click it. Once I did I got message saying "Due to neglect, Ezra is being whisked away to safety. Maybe you should consider a goldfish before jumping into parenthood again." I'm not sure if it's really related to the bubble or not.

You can load an old savegame to get the baby back. Consider hiring a Nanny via phone if you get overwhelmed taking care of them all.

This has happened to me as well quite recently, however I only neglected him to see the whole feature as I'd never had it happen before. Turns out because I saved my game and usually do whenever I go on Manage Worlds, my recover saves won't go as far back as yesterday. I'm now unable to adopt the baby back and I think he's gone forever. He would've aged up into a child now but he isn't aging up or anything. I also have the MC Command Center installed which allows me to Summon Sims which I have tried yet it won't work as he is a baby. I'm gutted and really want him back as the family is 6 generations long and everyone misses him, but he's gone. Will someone help me?

Just load the savegame prior to having the baby taken away.If you used Save As instead of just saving no recover backups will have been created.

They took my baby as soon as he was born.. he wasn't in the world for more than a second.. like WTH!

This is funny, I went looking for a solution to my own dilemma -kid gets taken away because it was starving...while it was in day care and returned critically hungry, gave it food and sat it down in front of it, and it bloody talked until he was taken away!!! 🤯
Got the same msg (no bubble though).
What got me, I named the kid Ezra too 😂😂
(I think just load a previous save though)

I just got the same thing. Except I have MC Cheats and I lost a toddler so I tried to summon her back but it said, "Kirsten Reynoso was not found" I also tried to adopt her back but she isn't showing in the options of kids to adopt. She wasn't hungry. She was sitting on the couch watching TV while her parents were trying for another kid. And so far no one is able to come up with a way to fix it except for not saving. I went back to manage worlds without saving and she's still not there. Should I just make another sims and have them adopt the little girl and have her move back in with her parents? I'm so lost and confused. Cause there was no reason for the kid to of been taken away....Right?
