Since I installed pets I am having problems with babies and toddlers.

Babies - I have seen them be ignored, thrown, dropped and naked.
Toddlers - Mainly been ignored.

Is this a pet thing? It is getting very annoying.. poor kids they are so unloved.

Another thing that is different is my sims are not 'listening' to me as much they keep droping commands I give them and go do other things.. grrr..

Similarly, I've noticed that ever since I installed Pets, some of my Sim kids will occassionally "jump" to an Adult's height for a second than plant their feet back onto the ground when they're talking to adults. Could be a hack conflict, though Clean Installer doesn't report any. >_>

I should feel lucky though since this is the closest I have to a "Pets problem." I don't have ANY of the nightmares going on in my game that other people report.

That's because the Clean Installer doesn't report hack conflicts, it just reports files which it identifies as hacks. Any 'jump' bug like this is most certainly an error- turn on the testing cheats and obtain an error log to find out what.

Alantra, your problems could also be a hack conflict. The kids/ babies/ toddlers in my game do not behave like that.
