it seems like this is only a problem for me specifically, im trying to create a friendly interaction for all age groups and it works for everyone except toddlers. I removed the age tests, i put the age tests back and made sure toddlers were apart of it, i put the interaction under the friendly category, i also tried using EA tuning which didnt work so its things i add myself i guess? regular unchanged mods work just fine for toddlers but i removed all mods so there are no conflicts and my game is fully updated. i just dunno what the issue could be

Are you talking about a new interaction, or did you edit an existing interaction?

If it's a new interaction, did you NOT add the interaction to the Sims? The game won't just pick up your interaction tuning and guess what object to add it to.

If it's an existing interaction, may I see what you've changed?
