This is a pack of 5 mods (and 1 add-on) that either fix or improve various issues with feeding babies and toddlers.

They're a mix of feeding-related fixes of Baby Toddler Mod by simler90 and Baby toddler food and feeding fixes by dickhurt without its additional baby feeding features, with further improvements.

Baby/toddler feeding fixes mod
Fridge fixes:
  • A Sim can no longer take mush or a bottle of milk from a fridge if there's not enough food in it.
    Feed Bottle To [Baby] and Get Bottle For [Toddler] interactions are still visible, though, like other food-related interactions. However, directing a Sim to perform these interactions will result in the Stomach growling? dialog.
  • The Feed [Toddler] interaction no longer shows toddlers drinking milk in high chairs – just like it doesn't show toddlers eating mush.
  • Feed Bottle To [Baby] and Get Bottle For [Toddler] interactions no longer show toddlers and babies that aren't present on the lot.
    This situation should never happen in an unmodded game, but is possible with mods like Play Group Phone Call by Chris Hatch.
  • A Sim (including a nanny, a butler, and an apartment neighbor nanny) can no longer autonomously try to get a bottle of milk for a toddler being carried by someone else.

High chair fixes:
  • When a toddler is in a high chair, a Sim can only give them a bottle of milk or a mush from a fridge that meets all of the following conditions:
    • contains a sufficient amount of food, including fresh food (introduced in Seasons),
    • is in an accessible room (only if you have Bon Voyage, FreeTime, Apartment Life, or Mansion & Garden Stuff installed),
    • only on an apartment lot: is in a communal area or in an apartment owned by the Sim or the toddler's family.
    Additionally, Give Bottle and Feed Toddler interactions don't appear on a high chair if there's no fridge that meets these conditions.
    In an unmodded game, a Sim could choose any fridge – as long as on the lot there was at least one that contained a sufficient amount of food, excluding fresh food.
  • In the base game, Sims no longer fail to deliver smart milk to a high chair.
    In an unmodded base game, a Sim would open the nearest fridge, causing the smart milk to disappear. If there was no fridge available, they would put the smart milk on the floor.

Nanny, butler, and apartment neighbor nanny fixes:
  • While performing their feeding duties:
    • they no longer ignore the baby/toddler they are carrying.
    • they can no longer try to feed a toddler who eats mush in a high chair or is about to interact with a bottle.
    • they can no longer try to remove a toddler from a high chair while they're eating or when they're hungry and about to start eating.
    • if there's a full bottle of unspoiled milk within 20 tiles of them that is not being used, they first try to give it to a toddler before taking fresh food from a fridge.
      In an unmodded game, they would sometimes take lots of unnecessary bottles from a fridge.
    • they can no longer choose a fridge or a high chair that is in an inaccessible room to feed a baby/toddler (only if you have Bon Voyage, FreeTime, Apartment Life, or Mansion & Garden Stuff installed).
    • they can no longer put a toddler in a high chair if there's no fridge that contains enough food to prepare mush.

Asking for food fixes:
  • When a toddler asks a Sim for food, the Sim can only choose:
    • a bottle of milk that is not spoiled and at least 20% full (the Sim couldn't pick up a bottle with less milk than this),
    • a fridge that contains a sufficient amount of food, including fresh food (introduced in Seasons), to take a bottle of milk,
    • a high chair that is not occupied,
    • a bottle, a fridge, or a high chair that:
      • is in an accessible room (only if you have Bon Voyage, FreeTime, Apartment Life, or Mansion & Garden Stuff installed),
      • only on an apartment lot: is in a communal area or in an apartment owned by the Sim or the toddler's family.
    In an unmodded game, none of these checks were applied.

If you have any of the following pre-release mods, delete it before you install this mod:
  • df-simNopke-highChairFixes
  • df-simNopke-highChairFixes-Lamare-highChairAccess
  • df-smartMilkOnHighChairFix
  • simler90-simNopke-nanniesFeedSmarter
Accessible toddler high chairs by Lamare is no longer incorporated in this mod, but they can be used together. See the conflicts section.

Some features of this mod used to be a part of 2 pre-release mods:Before you install this mod, update the pre-release mods if you use them.
This mod is highly conflictable. However, this pack contains compatibility patches to make it work properly with certain other mods. See the conflicts section for more details.
Baby/toddler feeding fixes mod add-on: Base game fix
In an unmodded base game, a toddler in a high chair could not drink smart milk.

With this add-on mod, they can, and the smart milk affects them correctly – both positively and negatively.

This add-on requires the Baby/toddler feeding fixes mod to work.
Do not use this add-on if you have any expansion or stuff pack installed.


High chair remote eating fix mod
With this mod, when a Sim is getting a toddler out of a high chair, the toddler should no longer grab a bottle from the tray or start eating mush. This also means that they shouldn't continue drinking or eating remotely on the ground, which can cause glitches.

In an unmodded game, this could happen if a Sim waited for a toddler to stop throwing a tantrum before getting them out of the high chair.

Milk bottle interaction exit fix mod
With this mod:
  • if more than one Sim tries to interact with a bottle of regular or smart milk and one of them fails while the other one succeeds, the bottle is no longer incorrectly marked as not in use.
    For example: An adult tries to grab a bottle. At the same moment, a toddler tries to drink from it. The adult fails and the toddler succeeds. In an unmodded game, the adult could then take the bottle straight from the toddler's hands.
  • if a Sim stops interacting with a bottle of regular milk, the milk level no longer decreases slightly for no reason.
    In an unmodded game, this issue would occur at certain milk levels.

More patient bottle giving to toddler mod
With this mod, if a Sim tries to give a bottle of milk to a toddler on the ground, they will wait around 17 Sim minutes before giving up and dropping the bottle.

In an unmodded game, they would only wait around 7 Sim minutes, which is often not enough time for the toddler to get into position.

If you have a pre-release mod named simler90-moreAttemptsToGiveBottleToToddler, delete it before you install this mod.
The new mod no longer requires Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden Stuff to work.
Nannies leave some bottles mod
With this mod, a nanny, a butler, or an apartment neighbor nanny can no longer dispose of a bottle of milk that is at least 20% full and not spoiled.

If you have a pre-release mod named simler90-simNopke-nanniesFeedSmarter, delete it before you install this mod.

Baby/toddler feeding fixesAccessible toddler high chairs by LamareThe conflicting mod can be used with my mod in any order, but you need to install a compatibility patch named Accessible high chairs. The patch must load after both my mod and the conflicting one*.
Baby toddler food and feeding fixes by dickhurtDon't use it with my mod.My mod is based on the conflicting mod, but it doesn't include the feature of feeding a baby while sitting.
On the other hand, the conflicting doesn't contain:
  • the out-of-lot check,
  • the room accessibility check,
  • the apartment check,
  • nanny logic fixes,
  • asking for food fixes.

Baby Toddler Mod by simler90My mod must load after the conflicting mod, but you also must install a compatibility patch named Baby toddler mod. The patch must load after both my mod and the conflicting one*.The conflicting mod contains many features of this mod. It doesn't contain:
  • fridge-related mush fixes,
  • high chair fixes,
  • food-related checks that would prevent nannies from removing a toddler from a high chair,
  • nannies being able to give a toddler a bottle that is on the ground.
The conflicting mod also solves the problem of a nanny taking too many bottles from a fridge in a different way. It simply prevents a nanny from taking a fresh bottle of milk for a hungry toddler if there's any usable bottle of milk in the same room. My mod will cancel this feature.
