Default Toddler can't play with toddler toys
I bought toddler toys (rabbit head, xylophone, block game) to my family's toddler, he never plays with them and rather play with puddles outside, and whenever I try to direct him to do so, the cursor gets greyed out when I move it over the toys. I removed my mods folder but it keeps happening.

This is going to sound really silly, but are the toys facing the right way? If the toys are against the wall with the green arrow facing the wall in Buy Mode, then the toys will be unusable.

Thank you for replying , I'm almost certain they were facing the right way, though I will test it again and test it on other lots and neighborhoods as well.

Some of them they have to approach at an angle so you need more clear space, so test by putting them in the middle of four clear squares. If they still aren't usable, you've got a weirdass problem there; if they are usable, you'll just have to experiment with placement.

The thing is, the cursor shouldn't gray out when you mouse over them. If the problem is accessibility, you ought to be able to click them and direct the child to use them and the child would then throw a routing fit.

When a toddler can't get to the toy you can click and tell them to go play and it will drop out of their queue, greying out is something else. If its happening with just one toddler I would try resetting him. Put moveobjects on, grab and delete him, save, go to hood view and reload the lot. The toddler will be reset by the mail box. If this is happening everywhere it's probably a mod conflict and you will have to find what is causing it.

Thank you for replying, I tested it, it happens with all households on both of the neighborhoods that I tested, another weird thing that I found out, this only happens when I place the toys inside the house, when I place them outside I can click on them with the toddler with no problems. And yes, the cursor gets greyed out like when you try to click the mailbox when there is no mail on it.

Yeah, something that weird? Almost has to be a mod conflict. Follow the steps in the FAQ to find it and don't try to figure out what makes sense. It doesn't have to make sense; it's an unintended consequence of different people modifying complex code at different times, and chaos theory applies.

Thank you, I will try to figure out what mods are causing it.

You could try running the hack Conflict program from sim wardrobe first.

Well, HCDU does not find any conflicts, I removed my whole Downloads folder, all of my mods and cc are out of the game right now, but the problem keeps happening, should I reinstall the game?

Try replacing the objects.package first.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Unluckily that didn't work either Thank you all for the help, I'm going to reinstall the game once I'm in the mood for it and hopefully will get rid of this glitch.
