Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? SP11.220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Star Wars
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Having this child coming to visit via after school or club.
What happens when the bug occurs? All Sims in the household I am playing gets sad from a child being taken by Child Protection Services for neglect.
What do you expect to see? Kids coming to visit not being taken away
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I have a BitLife To Sims Save File, so therefore I only have one active household. I have added other families (for those who are either friends or future romantic relationships) but I have them all set as “Unplayed” and in the “Other Housholds”.
From time to time I will go into CAS and change their appearances when they age up.
One particular child has been taken away when visiting either because he’s in a group and then again when he was “invited to come over” after school.
I see him wandering about the house, happy/playing/socializing, not seeming like he’s in a particular mood or needing anything.
Then the notification comes that a child has been taken for neglect. I managed to catch the sparkles around him (while he’s standing there smiling) and then disappeared.
I’ve never had this happen before to a non-played household. And it has only occurred after the last patch.
I then lose progress on my save because I can’t lose this child!

Unplayed kids are supposed to be C students (unless they're prebuilt Sims like Max Villareal, who's a D student). You might want to either play him or cheat him better grades.
There was another thread here about how some kids with "adult" reward traits seem to have low grades, IIRC.

@crinrict Yes, I entered the home, had him do his homework. Then makeup work. Went into CAS because I noticed the father (I made with genetics from the child) wasn’t listed as his Father. Went out of CAS…he got up and then proceeded to be rescued.

Funny because the household I do play is Max’s son and his family!
This save also is for no cheats so I can’t cheat his grades. I’ll just have to wait to play the child’s household until I’m not waiting on Max’s son to die, again….I have several death flowers and not ready for him to go 😅
