Infant Crib & Playmat Fix

by deadlystingnyc

Your Sims' infant is lying on their playmat. Suddenly they can't interact with it anymore. Or their caregiver puts them in their crib, and they can't fall asleep on their own because the game thinks they aren't in the crib at all. And don't even get me started on when they drop right through the crib onto the floor. It's madness for family gameplay! Infant Crib & Playmat Fix keeps your infants attached so everything works the way it should.

This Is an EA Bug

Infants randomly lose their attachment to the crib or playmat they are lying on. Once detached they can no longer interact with it until a caregiver picks them up and puts them back down, and sometimes not even then. The visual drop through the crib is a side effect of the same detachment. This is a bug in the game itself, not caused by mods.

If you have Growing Together installed, this is especially noticeable during infant mobility milestones, where (for example) the posture change when an infant learns to sit up drops the attachment. The bug occurs whether or not this pack installed.

How It Works

The mod watches for the detached state and reattaches the infant to the object they are on. It acts in three situations:

• When a saved game loads with an infant already detached
• When an interaction ends and leaves them detached
• When a posture change during a milestone drops the attachment

It also turns an infant back onto their back when tummy time ends and leaves them stuck face down, and keeps the attachment intact through social interactions with a nearby Sim.

The mod stands aside entirely while a caregiver is carrying the infant so pick-ups and put-downs behave normally. It only ever acts on infants, and only on cribs and playmats.

Requirements

• The Sims 4 (base game only)
