Hi @AnimeLarry 

bit unclear what your issue is. Are you talking about toddlers getting stuck toys in their hands or all Sims ?

Are you using mods/cc at all ?

All sims. They go to put down whatever they are holding, and it looks as though they’ve put it in their inventory but it doesn’t appear in there. Then the plate or toy will reappear in their hand and they’ll repeat it endlessly.

not using any mods, just the expansions and free downloads off Origin

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
