The game doesn't work properly when there is an infant in the household

In recent months, with an infant in my household, the game has been experiencing constant simulation lags. For example, time goes by and the sim stands around for hours at a time doing nothing with the infant in his arms, instead of feeding him or anything else. This happens in all households and with all infants. It's impossible to play.
I've attached a video of the game's behavior, which shows the infant lying in the cradle and has a sleep animation, even though the game thinks he's awake and sad. You can also see how poorly the switching between sims works.

I have no mods and have all the addons for the game. My version of the game is 1.112.519.102

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!

  • I decided to look at my lastException.txt file so I asked AI if she know what it was and she took me to a tool that analyzes lastException files and the two recent ones had 179 unknown errors, the most recent one had an error with the posture graph.  Maybe that may be the reason for all the lag.  If I remember right that was the same time my sim was interacting with the infant.  The 179 errors seem to be related to the sims posture graph, whatever that means maybe it is the mother or farther or both or the infants themselves, maybe it is triggered by something blocking a posture change or something like another sim.

    I think I found the bug the AI in Windows 11 is teaching me how to read code, I know C, but I didn't know C++, from what I understand the lastexeption file gave me what I needed to look for.  There seems to be a few different bugs that are all related to the current bug a desync in the saving of certain sim data most likely related to infants, when the game is saved the location of the infant is not remembered so the infants spawn on the floor more likely to prevent infants from getting stuck inside the crib.  The second one has to do with the positioning graph for infants which don't exist yet as they are objects until they learn to walk.  The error occurs during pickup of carried sim, which causes a forcestop or hardstop of all other interactions the sim may have been doing.  Here are the two lastExemption files.  The error occurs both with pickup of carried sim and horse riding.  Other one is related to saving while a sim is in the proccess of picking up a sim or holding a sim, or the sim is on top of an object.

    Edit: It is not letting me attach the last exception file to the section, do I need to do it one at a time? Because I found the location of the bug it is mentioned in the lastexeption file.

  • I have been having the same issues. I will physically have to force reset my sims and the toddlers multiple times for the actions to occur.
