Milestones bugs

[James3157]

Am I the only noticing this or have other people noticed as well? Has the been reported on the EA Forums yet? Milestones are currently bugged at least for infants and toddlers. Infants cannot learn how to become more independent when it comes to mobility because of a bug with milestones. Until this bug gets fixed infant seems to be one of the most useless lifestages right now besides newborn for anyone that owns Growing Together expansion pack. Milestones are also bugged as well for toddlers. I have not noticed yet bugs for older lifestages than toddler, but toddler and infants have bugged milestones.

I cannot find this reported on EA Forums, but anyone else notice these bugs? My child sim was able to learn how to ride a bike, but milestones for toddlers and infants seem to be bugged currently.

I noticed I hate playing babies and toddlers because I have to dedicate a sim to not going more than 10 meters away and pay attention all the time.
Real babies sleep most of the day.

Umm real babies sleep a lot but not most of the day. I have raised 8 children and while toddlers are always on the go and a handful in real life and I always enjoyed my babies in real life but in the game not at all. The toddlers in the game I hire a nanny have a butler so it helps keep track of them and teach them when you are working. They are actually kinda fun. Of course in the game teens are much easier except for moods but in real life teens are a pain. rofl
I have been noticing though that the newborns don't do anything but lay there and have not noticed any accomplishments for them and with infants it has been like are really rare thing for them. Toddlers same .. I have not reported to ea not sure if it has been yet or not though.

It has been reported almost a month ago and ppl are still getting it, don't know why EA took so long to investigate...

Thank you. It is not one of the worst bugs I have ever encountered on The SIms 4, but I do hate it especially for the infant lifestage. I do not want to age up infants early contrary to newborns, but infants are currently the most useless lifestage right now for anyone that owns Growing Together until this milestones bugs are fixed. In my most recent play through I had an infant getting happy infant upon aging up to toddler, but the milestones for infants are currently bugged or at least when it comes to alien infants from alien abductions. What is weird about this bug is normal human infants if born naturally seem to have some bugged milestones while not being bugged for learning new movement abilities but not all while alien infants contrary to human infants at least from alien abductions seem to be bugged with almost all milestones.

I had a similar bug recently with one of my infants and the milestone that's connected to sitting up. The kid reached that milestone I think five times in a row, but it didn't register, so there was no way the kid could learn standing up. Restarting the game fixed it. I've never had this bug before, but I wasn't really surprised it exists.

Are the "Top-Notch Toddler" bugs still in the game too? I remember having to manually add that to Children.

I did some more testing with the alien infant from the alien abduction part. The alien infant could learn how to reach, grab, and coo, but could not learn any other milestones. Top Notch and happy toddler traits as far as I am aware are not bugged anymore.

Top notch toddler is very difficult to get without cheating on short and even normal lifespan assuming you keep aging turned on, but happy toddler is fairly easy to get, top notch toddler should not be bugged anymore similar to happy toddler, and I do not have to manually add it with my MCCC mod anymore. Only milestones are bugged and not the basegame related stuff for toddlers and infants. (Top notch infant and happy infant are not basegame, but are not bugged either contrary to milestones.) One could argue that milestones being bugged for toddlers is not a big deal, but it definitely is a big deal for infants. Additionally, the learn how climb the stairs milestone did not show up until reaching level 5 movement with my toddler.

Weird thing about this milestones bug. Sometimes the milestones work and sometimes they do not meaning that it is not completely broken for toddlers and infants, but definitely needs fixing. For example my alien infant was previously unable to learn how to lift head and unable to learn how to put toe in mouth, but later on my alien infant was able to get the toe in mouth milestone, lift head, and roll on back milestones. I also got roll on stomach milestone, but the game crashed before I could save it and my alien infant was unable to get that milestone again. It could potentially be gained back again, but I only know how to make these infant milestones work better if you change the infant outfit at the infant station where there is a pixelation bug when doing that which ironically made my infant learn more milestones by doing that. When I reloaded the game that bug or glitch was gone, but surprisingly the infant was able to learn more milestones despite the bug or glitch disappearing when I reloaded the game.

According to a post on another forum, the infant milestone disappearance problem only happens after a member of the house leaves the home, if everyone stays indoors all the time things'll work. Still a huge pain...

So apparently what you mentioned here only applies to infants and not toddlers. Toddlers could still could potentially get top notch toddler trait if someone really wanted it, but some of their milestones are bugged currently. Toddler and infant milestone bugs could still use fixing, but on the flip side only child and older lifestages do not have bugged milestones yet and I hope it stays that way because they are in my opinion more important lifestages in The SIms 4 than younger.
