So...what did the toddler patch break (besides mods)?

Would you mind checking your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder for a "lastexception_something" file? If you could share the contents of that with me it'd be appreciated.
I'm working on a quick patch for what I suspect is causing a lot of the issues. The daycare service code is written somewhat poorly and is throwing a lot of errors that are affecting households.
Some of my creations in the gallery use CC so remember to enable them in the gallery's options to see them all.
When I was making a toddler in CAS (an alien toddler, if that matters), my toddler's eyebrows kept reverting to the platinum blond setting despite me changing it to match the hair color.
I also had the bug where my sim got stuck picking up plates.
One of my sims couldn't give the toddler a bath. He'd put the kid in the tub and then immediately take him out. I've had this happen with adult sims pre-toddler patch though, so I don't think it's a bug specific to this patch.
The first time I tried to age up a baby, something went wrong and the baby disappeared from the bassinet, although his portrait was still there. I went into CAS and he returned, so I tried again and he aged into a toddler, so I suppose that fixed the issue.
that's interesting
here it would be appropriate if the interaction would be according to the traits, the relationship & the experience aka memory
but since traits are still shallow (i suppose, didn't play this game for months now), relationships are being culled & remain rather shallow as well & there are still no memories, so ... somehow an emptied interaction either way
but sims shouldn't put food into their pocket, nobody sane in mind is doing that, especially just to be hugged
it would be funny if those sims were different enough to have different reactions & one of them would be the insanity of putting the food into their pocket, that would be something
but it's not funny at all if they just do it as a programmed shortcut, it's annoying
That happened to me before updates and yeah it's annoying.

Hopefully these issues are addressed and get fixed soon. Aside from these issues, however, I'm really enjoying having toddlers in The Sims 4! They're adorable and much more fun than in previous games!

Yah, I'm getting this too when an adult sim is talking to the toddler to carry them out of the chair or something.
Same, I thought it was my "less smiling" overlay messing it up, but I took it out and it's still a problem. It's not consistent though; sometimes their face will be frozen in a smile while they're speaking, and sometimes their mouths will open correctly.
EDIT: This is with mods. I have yet to try removing them and seeing what happens.
Is this mod-free?
No, it isn't. I have been reading the suggestions in other threads and I'm noticing that this is a CC problem. Let me edit my post.
I saw elsewhere that this was removed from the game.
Head down to the Bugs forum - @rosemow has been helping with similar issues there.
There's an update now (It's the same number, but a new file as of about a half-hour or hour ago)
