I have also had this problem a few times on Macbook Air (2017). It seems sporadic for me. I've noticed this in my larger, more robust neighborhoods.

I have this problem as well.
I just got sims 4 for free last week and have played without mods or anything. Here is a save file, and the toddler is currently at daycare, starving. I also have a problem with the babysitter when Moder Gothel is at work, where he will sit and watch TV even when Rapunzel asks for him to feed her or bathe her. He will feed her and bathe her if she nags at him.

This is happening to me on console (PS4). This is my first time caring for a toddler and I have one parent who stays at home while my active sim runs their vet business. Realized the toddler's mood was falling and there was nothing I could do about it even with another sim at home. I'm worried my active sim won't be able to open her vet office until there are no toddlers in the household, which is absurd. Or even worse, my sim doing her job will result in her child being unfairly taken away. Why is this so hard to fix?

Product: The Sims 4

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.51.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All/everything.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Let a toddler be at daycare for a day or longer.
What happens when the bug occurs? All but a few needs are completely neglected.
What do you expect to see? I expect my toddler to be taken well care of, as that is what the message promises when they are sent to daycare.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
This bug is very burdensome. To avoid the kids getting taken away, I feel forced to use the Make Happy cheat as soon as my Sim returns home.

Please use this if you still have issues with needs and toddlers while playing another lot (nanny/caretaker)
Please use this if you still have issues with needs and toddlers while palying another lot (toddlers go to daycare):

This happens in my game too. I copied most answers from first post, as they are identical and added my own answers where needed. I will try this without MC Command center too and report if there is any change. Picture is taken right that second when they return home lot, mom from town and toddler from daycare.

Which language are you playing the game in? Finnish
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Pet stuff and Fitness stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have a toddler in the household. 2. Send the child to daycare for an extended period. 3. Check needs upon childs return from daycare.
What happens when the bug occurs? When my toddler returns from daycare, the needs are extremely low but no moodlets show that the childs needs are so low. When the moodlets did appear, my toddler was taken away from me straight away.
What do you expect to see? Needs met at daycare.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, MC command center, updated to this pack.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I'm not sure, because I hardly ever have toddlers in my game.
