Unfortunately this bug continues to occur in various families, so I think I’ll have to abandon the save.
The “cause” of the newborn’s invisibility seems to be somehow related to the babysitters.
I should clarify that out of laziness I almost never call them when the parents go out, I wait for the ones sent by the game to appear so as not to leave the newborn alone.
For every invisible newborn, there’s always a babysitter and this message appears:
Of which, perhaps because of the translation, I don’t understand the meaning: why would the babysitter have “accompanied home” the newborn? Newborns stay in the crib and don’t move.
In another family I had tried to kill the babysitter with removeZoi, but nothing had changed.
In this one, since she wouldn’t leave even when kicked out of the house, I tried the emergency save on the babysitter. And suddenly the newborn appeared in the garden, I can click on them while I play the parents, but the actions cancel automatically
I really hope this problem can be solved because it’s making this 14-family save unusable.
The same thing in this family. The newborn appears to be in the crib when selected, but when selecting one of the parents it becomes invisible. After doing an emergency save on the babysitter, the baby suddenly appears in the entrance.
Fortunately, by saving, returning to the lobby and then going back in, the little one is back in her crib and the parents can finally interact.
Hey, thanks for reporting on this! I’ve actually run into something really similar myself.
It’s definitely frustrating when it happens, especially since it kind of breaks the immersion. From what you described, it sounds a lot like an issue a few other players have mentioned too, so you’re probably not the only one dealing with it.
I’ve seen people suggest verifying game files if you’re on PC. Not a perfect fix, but it might be worth trying while we wait for a proper solution.
If you can, maybe add a bit more detail like your platform or when it tends to happe that kind of info can help others compare or figure out patterns, I believe.
Hopefully the devs pick this up soon. Appreciate you reporting it!
I had already verified the Steam files and they are fine.
Since I play with different families on a rotating basis, I never noticed the exact moment when the problem occurs.
Since it happened with several families, I made so many attempts to fix it that I can’t even remember them anymore. The only thing that worked was the emergency save to the babysitter.
