So in recent games I've noticed that when I put the infants on the playmat (this happened with 3 different infants), they immediately call the caregiver and the caregiver abandons anything I queued up immediately to go pick up the infant again. Over and over.
When I click on the mat, the only option is "get carried here by..." but the infant is already on the mat.
When I click the infant hoping to queue them up to play or go to sleep, neither of those options are available. Only options available are: use diaper, cry, fuss, get outfit changed by..., or get fed by....
The infant, even if completely in the red, will not fall asleep on the playmat or floor. And again, there is no 'try to go night night' option.
It's as if the game is not registering that the infant is on the playmat, and for whatever reason the infant becomes relentless in calling caregivers back and just won't stay on the floor.
A couple of times this happened in the crib but restarting the game fixed it at the time, nothing seems to be fixing the playmat issue I've had these last few days though.
I have no mods/no cc. I did clear cache and repair game and try again. I have all DLC on PC.
I tried turning off autonomy and it doesn't help. Unfortunately when an infant/toddler calls a caregiver there is no way to ignore them, it just interrupts anything else.
It's making it very hard to get adults in the house to do anything else but run back to them, I have to make them go to the gym to shower or to a food stall to eat because until the infants are asleep in the crib because if they're awake they won't let adults put them down so adults can care for themselves or work.
