Problems with newborn care

  • Game Version:

  • Platform: Steam windows

  • Mods: active mods: UPRIGHT PIANO, BETTER SALARIES FOR JOB and BODYSUIT & SWEATSPANTS SET

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System

  • Error Message:

  • Details: Basically, among the interactions with the child, I cannot get them to be picked up by anyone, move them, put them on the ground, let alone breastfeed them. I’m afraid they’ll starve honestly. I’ve tried removing all mods, lowering the graphics, moving objects and moving the crib. The few interactions I can manage (including diaper changes) all happen strangely—the child is in one place and the interactions happen either to the side or the opposite way, but that doesn’t matter much. What I’d like to solve is the food and movement issues.

This is a known bug. Here are some solutions that have been tried in the past and have worked.

During the first day, you cannot interact with the newborn. They will remain in the crib and you won’t be able to interact with them. If the baby has just been born, maybe this is your case. The baby won’t die, so don’t worry, you don’t need to feed them.

If more than a day has passed since the baby was born:

Sometimes interactions with babies get cancelled if the baby is not in a clear area. If there is furniture or objects around them, none of the parents will be able to interact with them. Try going into build mode and moving or deleting the furniture that is around the baby.

If none of these methods work, try logging out of the game, logging back in, and try to interact with the baby with a different parent.

I’m learning English, I apologize for any mistakes since I had to use a translator.

Si tratta di un bug noto. Ecco alcune soluzioni che sono state provate in passato e hanno funzionato.

Durante il primo giorno, non è possibile interagire con il neonato. Rimarrà nella culla e non sarà possibile interagire con lui. Se il bambino è appena nato, forse questo è il tuo caso. Il bambino non morirà, quindi non preoccuparti, non è necessario nutrirlo.

Se è passato più di un giorno dalla nascita del bambino:

A volte le interazioni con i bambini vengono annullate se il bambino non si trova in un’area libera. Se intorno a lui ci sono mobili o oggetti, nessuno dei genitori potrà interagire con lui. Prova ad andare in build mode e a spostare o cancellare i mobili che si trovano intorno al bambino.

Se nessuno di questi metodi funziona, prova a uscire dal gioco, accedere nuovamente e provare a interagire con il bambino con un altro genitore.

Sto imparando l’inglese, mi scuso per eventuali errori poiché ho dovuto ricorrere a un traduttore.

When the baby is in the crib, the actions are not done correctly to the baby. I cannot pick up the baby in the crib. I could not find that menu. I could not find the feeding menu.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Newborn interaction bug on Mac

That's not the only problem. I can't interact with the baby, I can't hold him in my arms, I can't feed him. For example, the baby's emoji wants milk but I can't give it.

Hi all, (@here)

Just merged some threads that were on the same topic, regarding not being able to interact with newborn babies. To clarify, this is actually not a bug — newborns do not need feeding or cleaning up. Instead, you can interact with them in different ways such as checking their temperature or changing their diapers, or even taking a selfie together.

And for @itsmechiie7 , it does seem a bit strange that you weren’t able to interact with the newborn zoi on the first day the baby was born. If you have any save files or screenshots, could you share them so that we can investigate further?

Creating a character from scratch to use the new features is ridiculous, it needs to be fixed
