Any time I try to have a parent use the "read toddler book" interaction, they just stand there with the book in hand for a few minutes and then cancels the interaction.

I'm having the same issue. Whenever I try to interact with toddlers, sims just stand and stare at each other for hours instead of performing whatever action is in que. Notifications for the same toddler quirk keeps popping up every couple of minutes, and the toddlers keep standing or sitting and falling to the floor constantly, especially if they're sitting on a couch or high chair. Toddlers are completely glitching out.
I have this issue sometimes. Reloading the game or resetting my Sims seems to help, but even then sometimes they'll both walk to the furthest available seating to try this interaction and it will cancel. Sometimes it just works.
Same happens to me on xbox series x, anything regarding reading to the toddler cancels before they even get a book out.
Having same issue now, on Windows 11, using latest update (sep 18 2025). Have tried both with and without mods.
My sims are unable to read to their toddlers. If they prompt it, if the toddler prompts it, if trying to "read to bed", the adult sim will hold the book then a couple seconds later the action is canceled without any reading. Even after going to a different location the issue is still happening.
Even after repairing the game twice interacting with toddlers is buggy.
