Infant stretching when caregiver intends to pick them up

I can take many more screenshots, and include some from my daughter on her game upon request. (we have different exp packs)
Infant turns into a stretch armstrong when a caregiver picks them up. I have only seen this with controlled sims, not with NPC babysitters. It doesn't seem to be 100% of the time, only when the infant "needs" to readjust by scooting, but this only kicks in after I've assigned the teen/YA to do an interaction involving picking the infant up from the ground.
The one next to the crib, the infant was asleep before I had to exit to repair my game because his twin's milestones were stuck again. Loaded back in and he was sitting next to the crib. Queue stretch...and long pause for the game to figure itself out before the teen I assigned to pick him up started moving.

Every time my adult sim tries to pick up my infant the infants body stretches out to the length of a child sim before snapping back into shape. it’s quite disturbing. Please fix. On ps5 no mods no cc

It's happening to me in the game file I sent you, however, at the time I had no infants to play with (I've since continued playing in it from it's original location), so I'm not sure if you create one if it will reproduce on your end. :/
PS Why am I limited to 10 posts or so at a time? Some people read/type faster and I'm constantly "exceeding the maximum number of posts you can publish." Did I get blacklisted as spam somehow? I don't recall this happening before, only in the last few months. How am I supposed to report/comment on bugs this way? Or have any posts left for the "fun" part of the forum :( I know I'm here a lot but I don't have time to keep coming back to see if it this will go through finally.
