New Modular Playground Interaction Causes Kids to Lie Down or Meditate First

Hi,

I couldn't find any related thread on this matter, please excuse me if this is a duplicate. 

I am a PC user with all packs released up to date, game version 1.118.257.1020.

Recently, I’ve noticed a weird and somewhat annoying bug with the Adventure Awaits playground equipment, where children randomly sit or lie on the ground before playing with it—every time they need to interact with a new piece of the playground.

This behavior occurs on every type of lot where the equipment is placed, as well as with the in-world equipment at Gibbi Point.

What happens:

1. Instruct a child or group of children to play on the playground.

2. Some of them will start playing immediately, while others will either sit on the ground in a meditation pose or lie down as if to sleep.

3. When checking the affected child, there is no action listed in their queue.

4. This happens randomly before they interact with any piece of equipment.

Troubleshooting performed:

1. Game repaired

2. New The Sims 4 folder created in the Electronic Arts directory

3. New save file created

4. The bug still occurs.

Attachments: video, screenshots, save file if needed.

    Forgot to add, game was tested on a clean, no mods folder and a brand new save file after repair.

    I had this today in my game. About 4 to 5 kids at a time would nap on the ground. When one lot woke up another lot would fall asleep. They even did this outside the playground.

    I am currently playing with minimal mods.

    Dealing with the same issue. At the Sunrise, Sunset Festival and so many kids are just lying down to nap. Its a constant loop of kids on the floor, I have to keep resetting them and the playground equipment.

    Tested this on my non modded game and they also nap all over the place. Usually outside the lot on the footpath.

    Playing on PC. Never any mods. No CC. All packs and most kits.
