Toddlers calling sims to pick them up while talking

What happens

So when a Toddler calls for a caregiver while talking to someone. The sims who was trying to do a action will go to the destination but then go over to the toddler who call them and pick them up. 1 of these 2 results can happen. 1 They would put them down and then go back but the toddler who talking to someone will call them again to pick them making the same result again or second result. The caregiver Will give up and hold the toddler while the toddler talks to who they are talking too resulting the Caregiver not be able to do anything unless told to which can result in the first result. Also related. The Toddler talking to the Caregiver can call them to pick them up and the sim will hold them while talking to them.

How to reproduce

Get a Toddler to talk to someone and they should call any Caregiver near by to pick them.

No mods/cc used

My game version is 1.112.519.1020

This just to repost my report since the AHQ one was archived and not sure if will change so I'm reposting fresh just to be safe so I can keep up to date if it fixed or not fixed in the patches.

    I can also confirm this still happens. Toddlers have to be constantly reset while trying to interact with them to prevent them from summoning an adult or to be put down if the wave and "dag dag" got past me. Toddler 1 asks Toddler 2 to build a sandcastle. Toddler 2 summons an adult to pick them up. T1 proceeds to build castle without t2, Reset 2 and start over. T1 summons an adult in order to ask the question while held. T2 proceeds to build sandcastle, but T1 has to be reset so the interaction has to be restarted. This doesn't happen 100% of the time, sometimes they build the castle without any of that. Most of the the time they don't.  They can't even hang out in the kitchen chatting while the adult cooks. They'll do the wave and "dag dag" and the adult stops to pick them up and continue talking while both of them starve. There's a lot relationship building with siblings, caregivers and potential friends that requires so much micro managing to do successfully. It would be great if they could just talk without all that.

  • Free time I had so I tested this and this is still an issue in the latest update.

  • The bug still exists in the latest patch since we had patches come out. Also I've got a custom avatar now. My sim Jack Zhang from sims 3. It's still me just with my favourite sim as my avatar now :)

  • This bug is in the latest patch. Had trouble posting my update here due to an error with max posting.

  • Surprised not many people upvoted this since how annoying it is. You can't do interactions without needing reset the sims if you have at least 2 toddlers talking to each other. Hoping if people have this issue to upvote this one. People if you see people have this issue. Please link it to this post to upvote it so it can be seen to people. I really want this fixed as soon as possible now since one of my infants nearly got taken away because of this bug :(

  • I've been busy but I did test this bug today and still happening in the latest patch. Clean folder.

    It hasn't changed. For awhile I skipped families during the toddler stage as it's not just toddlers talking to each other, it's toddlers talking to anyone. Unfortunately like toddlers in real life, sims toddlers rarely entertain themselves and will instead interrupt everything the adults are trying to do. Any teens or adults in the house are constantly called to pick up the toddler so they can talk to someone. At least in real life I could entertain my toddler and do other things without having to hold her. I got tired of skipping the families until the toddlers aged up and have resorted to locking them into a their rooms so the rest of the household could get on with their life. I never take them out to other lots anymore. I rarely have large families so it's frustrating when a household can't function because of one toddler. They're so cute and could be fun. I considered aging them up and skipping the stage, but I don't like that it skews the lifespan. That's a me problem though. On that note, infants will do this too, just not as much. I had one infant wake up in the middle of the night that somehow telepathically forced awake other sims to take it out of the crib so it can play with the dollhouse. At least the toddler doesn't do that, it has to actually be able to leave it's room to go wake anyone up and I've locked it's door. The other life stages are fun and have lots to do so it's easy enough to lock away infants and toddlers and still enjoy the game. It's disappointing though.
