[EBN] Items constantly breaking due to fairy toddler

The plumbing and appliances in my game are currently breaking every morning (around 4-5am) without the Gremlins lot trait. 

I thought it might be because of an ailment or my sims being imbalanced, but it's neither of those. It's happening every morning, but it's not every object in the house. Currently it's all plumbing in the downstairs (bathroom and kitchen sink) and the oven. The fridge doesn't break and neither do any radiators, fireplaces, or TVs. 

It doesn't seem to be connected to any mods and I don't have any CC in my game. If anyone has any idea what could be causing this please let me know :) 

 

I'm playing with all packs apart from Bust the Dust and Party Essentials kits, and I currently have three fairies and one human in my family.

    Every day i wakeup and my fairy toddler is raging with her emotional whiplash, and at the same time as i get the notice that her emotions are out of whack, the entire lot's appliances/plumbing/everything-thats-breakable breaks. This is a daily occurance now, and I can't even begin to work my sim's neuropath job which is sad. I get it, fairy toddlers break some things when they get angry, but not the ENTIRE LOT AT ONCE, this is craziness. I'm attaching my savedata pre-emptively so that you can get to work on this...hopefully it's an easy fix, because it's pretty much ruined my relationship with EBN after the whole thing with the Contagious Spread of Ailments and now this effecting toddlers...

     

    Never used Mods on any of the data this revolves around, but I do have some Custom Music Tracks which shouldn't effect anything loaded (nothing so grandious as "Modular Programming" though, just a couple of mp3's I copied into the custom music directory) other than that no CC has ever been used and the last time I touched actual mods was years ago on a different installation with a different PC.

    Also I wish you weren't so discriminatory about mods usage in the first place, it'd be enough I'd think to "Confirm your not using mods" instead of asking us to recall 10+ years of gaming experiences, over multiple PCs/Platforms (this was back when you were using Origin)/HDDs/Etc...

    yeah, that's what they like to do. It's their powers that they don't have under control that makes them break just about every item in the house.

    There's an option where you can teach them about their fairy being. Not sure what it's called. As a test, move your toddlers somewhere else and see if it keeps happening without them (on a backup of your game)

    Just an add on: it isn't like a random object gets broken (like a toddler would), it is literally every single object in a room breaks all at once (like the Gremlins lot trait). I don't have the Gremlins lot trait active.

    Yes, I have two toddlers, but it happens in the morning when they're not even awake yet. It just keeps happening. I've also noticed that it happens when my sims are on different floors of the house. For example, it happens at 4-5am on the ground floor when the sims are like making breakfast etc, then it happens again when my sims go upstairs to change outfits for example. It kind of follows them around, which is why I thought it was to do with an ailment or their balance, but they have no ailments and I used the Holistic Cure to make their balance maxed out.
