Children die/taken away due to neglect despite not being neglected

hello, this is happening again now after recent patch

Since the update on August 19, 2025, my toddler and son have been dying. They have all their needs met, are happy, and are being cared for, but I get a "death" notice or a "social services is taking your child away for not caring for them" notice. Sometimes they pop up at the same time, sometimes just the social services one. The game is unplayable. I don't use mods or CC.

The same is happening to me right now. Same thing!
Children are all at an A, needs perfectly green, perfect relationship with its parents etc..
It even threatens to take away my teen!

I decided to just skip this family and started with a group of young adults trying to begin their uni lifes.
Now I get the same notifitcation with ALL my young adults!! What is happening?! 
All of them are not yet enrolled in uni/have to wait to be accepted. 
And two of them are already working and still the same issue! 

Never had this happen before. Just after the latest Update (19th August).

(End yes, I use mods. MCC, Whims and Meaningful Stories, but I`ve used them since forever and never had this happen before.)

IDK if this has been suggested, will help anybody, or is even allowed, but this is still happening and was making my game unplayable. I downloaded Top Rapidity's Don't Take Away My Child mod on MTS. It completely disables the Social worker call and I was able to resume my legacy. I figure this is a good a fix as any until EA gets around to fixing the issue. 

I actually used this but it didnt do anything for me. It just let my Sim plop into oblivion. 
I even tried finding the Sim in the Manage World Overview but the Sim was simply lost. 
Its still happening and I get Pop-Ups every Morning that someone was adopted by another family(without someone dying in said family, which normaly causes adoption). It also happens to Pets of any kind. 
Its so annoying.

Hi, does this mod still work? Since the last update was a while ago. I started experiencing this, and no matter what I do, the kid gets a death notification, and I've been spending so much time on my legacy, I'm almost on the edge of crying 😞 so tired of this game acting like that and nobody doing anything to fix their bugs. Now we're losing hours of legacies and there's nothing we can do. So I'm looking for a mod to prevent my kids from being taken away and avoid this mess. 

Edit: I downloaded it and for me it seems to be working, I was keeping an eye of the time where the first two times I've gotten the notification and nothing happened, I was able to play with the whole family with no further issues. For now, I guess this is the only fix no matter if the mod is a bit outdated, but it's not a script, so it's not that bad and if it fixes what the game can't, so be it! 

Same thing just happened to me :/

I updated my mods for the recent aug 19 patch and now this same thing happened to me I removed all CC/mods, repaired my game deleted the resource file in mods, deleted the localthumbcache multiple time and both my children keep being taken. Also they keep getting the academic ace family recipe thing at the same time as being taken. Regardless if I select become playable ghost or freeroam the kids get deleted from the game... sadge

This is now happening in one of my saves (currently the only one in which I'm playing with children in the family). Two of my triplet children are "whisked away" because of neglect (due to poor grades, though both of them have Cs), and then I immediately get the LD pop-up that they've died and can be playable or freeroaming ghosts. Doesn't matter what I select, they simply disappear and seem to be gone from the game entirely. MCCC can't locate them. Happens even if I take mods out and after I've repaired the game. Super frustrating.
