The hug interaction is missing under Friendly when an adult is the active Sim and a toddler is selected. I saw this issue with a father and his twins with a full friendship bar, and the twin’s step mother with the twins with a half friendship bar. Toddlers can still hug adults, adults just can’t hug toddlers.

@KittyCoSim I have an interaction called Hug lovingly that seems to be from Parenthood and one called Snuggle that seems to be a hugging interaction.

Do you have snuggle ? Seems you don't have the Parenthood Pack.

Good Luck

@crinrict Yes, snuggle is there. I remember there being a hug option too, before the update I made three adult brothers hug their toddler nephew before he moved out with his dad. For now I will have to use snuggle more often if I want a parent to be affectionate.

I tested this on base game only, game version PC: 1.61.15.1020, never any mods/cc and freshly repaired & fresh game file. The parents could only 'snuggle' with their toddler, the option to hug was not there. Parents both were 'family oriented' and toddler was 'clingy'. I added an aunt to the family and didn't give her the 'family oriented' trait. She adopted the clingy toddler as a care dependent and still only had the option to 'snuggle', same as the parents, again the 'hug' option wasn't there. I then used genetics to give the parents a second toddler child and made that one 'inquisitive'. Both the parents and the aunt still could only 'snuggle', no hug option was there (with the aunt, this was after she adopted the toddler as a care dependent & also possibly before). 

 

On my regular game with all the packs, same game version, I do have the option to 'hug lovingly' and to 'snuggle' with (parents/care givers and toddlers), but no 'hug'. I remember in the past both 'hug lovingly' and 'hug' being options. 

 

Best regards,
Jennifer

I've seen this too, yet the adults get a whim to hug the toddler.

My sims regularly get a want to hug their toddlers.

However the want can't be fulfilled because there is no interaction.

There is only 'snuggle' and 'hug lovingly' (I think this one came with the parenthood pack).

Do other have the same problem?

Same here, and it’s not just adults. Older siblings want to hug the toddlers and don’t have the option. Hug lovingly doesn’t fulfil the want.
