I'm a mac user and i have the same issue with toddlers (I dont have cats and dogs pack). My toddlers just walk and stumble even though their movement skill is max
edit: I removed all mods and ccs, deleted caches, repaired the game, and started a new game. the bug is still there

Same problem here. I play on PS4 and it’s been a while since any of the toddlers in my game will run. Even when you cue them up to “run around”, they just walk around. My daughter plays on a PC and she’s having the same issue in her game as well.

I encountered this issue myself after having started the game again. However I did manage to fix the issue myself by modifying the XML file for Buff_Trait_Toddler 141769
On lines 161 to line 172 it appears that there is a setting that is overriding the toddler skills. The code is as follows.
<V n="walkstyle_behavior_override" t="enabled">
<U n="enabled">
<L n="removed_run_flags">
<E>RUN_ALLOWED_INDOORS</E>
<E>RUN_ALLOWED_OUTDOORS</E>
</L>
<V n="wading_walkstyle" t="Override">
<T n="Override" p="InGame\Locomotion\WalkToddlerLevel01.walkstyle">27c01d95:00000000:00000000a33749b1</T>
</V>
<E n="walkstyle_behavior_priority">DEFAULT</E>
</U>
</V>
As you can see the code is removing the run allowed flags. The same code is within the XML files for the toddler movement skill xmls 1-5. Removing these lines of code from that XML resolved my issue.
ETA: This is a modification made for the PC platform. This is not really meant to be advice for anyone in particular, nor do I recommend doing this if you do not wish to modify a game. This is simply meant as feedback for developer investigation.
