Sims Freeplay Baby/Toddler items/interactions for Sims 3?

I don't know if anyone else plays The Sims Freeplay for the Ipod/Iphone/Ipad, but I started playing it a few weeks ago & just got my first baby. They updated the game to be able to support toddlers as well. Its really cute, but while I'm playing it, I'm just thinking to myself why did they not give these items/interactions to our Sims 3 toddlers? I mean come on the Ipod/Iphone/Ipad is far inferior to a real computer, so its not like be able to support the content is out of the question, and the graphics are about as good as sims 1 graphics were, yet they all still look pretty decent. I wouldn't even mind if they looked that way in Sims 3, as long as they had them!
Here's some examples:
Items:
-Toddler beds (Race car, castle, normal) Where the toddlers actually climb into bed themselves
-A pile of blocks on the floor that they play with & build up
-A rocking horse (which I've seen screenshots of one of these in Supernatural so that maybe enabled for toddlers we'll see)
-A train set that sits on the floor.
-A costume chest for toddlers (they change into the costumes themselves then toddle around in the costumes acting like dinosaurs or whatever they chose to be, so basically the one we already have that came with Generations for children, except toddlers use it)
-A little toddler swimming pool
-A chalkboard to draw on (like the easels that we can buy for our real children)
-A rattle (that parents play with the babies with)
-A stroller with a baby doll in it (That would be cute for children & toddlers to have)
-Sandbox that toddlers actually play in
Interactions:
-New info, I got a swingset & my toddler was allowed to climb up in it & have her mom or dad push her!
-Now that my baby grew into a toddler I've found out more & still discovering more. So the new thing I have found is the toddler can play Hide N Seek with her parents!
-Ability to change baby's clothes (or the fact they even have clothes, plus the have hats as well, AND BODIES! lol)
-While I have not seen them in my game myself, in the video of the toddler update it shows 2 toddlers playing "patty cake" together (clapping hands together) and also shows the parents bathing the toddlers, and toddlers playing with the rubber duckies.
My point is why do my Freeplay toddlers get to do way more than my Sims 3 babies. It seems it should be the other way around don't you think? The Ipod/Iphone/Ipad have slower processors, less memory, etc. So why should their toddlers get to do so many things?

Edit: Do you have any pictures ? :P
that ticks me off so much !!
The sims freeplay frustrates me on how it works on real time, so it literally takes 5mins to do something, but I am really loving the baby/toddler so much that I haven't even played my sims 3 game since getting this game. I always think, oh I want to go play the sims 3 now, but then its like whats the point lol. My sims 3 sims can't interact with their babies like these guys can.
Also some more items I noticed in the game is a tea table with a little doll sitting in one and one chair for the toddler to sit in. They gave us tea parties with stuffed animals in generations, why the heck did they not give us an actual little tea set and little table for kids to not only have tea parties with their stuffed animals, but also other kids, or drag mommy & daddy in to have a tea party?
Also Christine I went over and read about 20 pages of your thread, I love all the ideas and so wish that we could get even just a few of those items & interactions! I don't need them all (it would be awesome) but I don't want to be greedy! EA just give us more toddler & baby stuff seriously! Its not that hard!
I just saw the edit, I can try to get some pictures of it and post, they might not be the greatest cause I play on my Ipod lol, but I will certainly try
Alright here's some pics taken with the in game camera on Ipod & of the Nursery store taken with my phone camera lol. Sorry if the quality isn't the best!
This is my baby girl sleeping
A front view of the chalkboard & side view of tea table
This is the toddler pool
The bookcase/corner with seats for the toddlers to go & read and color pictures, and the dollhouse & mobile (which really moves)
Tea table & rocking horse
My baby's room view (sorry I haven't given her wallpaper yet lol)
Nursery store: Teddy bear, blocks & chalkboard
Nursery store: Rocking horse, rattle & doll stroller
Nursery store: 3 different toddler pools & mobile that really moves
Nursery store: 3 of the bookcase/corners where toddlers can sit & read and color pictures, and a rug
Nursery store: The different train sets & a puppy toy
Nursery store: tea tables (they look much nicer than the cardboard one I bought lol, but I can't afford the nice ones)
Nursery store: Dollhouses
Nursery store: Baby cradles
Nursery store: Toddler beds
There you go
thank you all the ideas are great and i agree if they can do it for an ipod game then htey certainly should do it for this pc game
Christine I agree if they can do for the Ipod they could do it for Sims 3, and it baffles me that they haven't yet! I am really hoping for stuff pack or expansion pack that is like baby/toddler focused. I cannot see an entire expansion being like that (We already have Generations) but maybe a stuff pack.
I wanted to add the update video from EA for the toddler update it shows them using the items & doing stuff, super cute
I know! your right! All you can do is snuggle and play with which you have to repeat and repeat to get their social level up. I think they are being kind of lazy with babies and toddlers.
And thanks for trying to get them pictures and its okay just so i can see
yeah a stuff pack with all this stuff from your pictures would be great !
Also I added a link to the EA video of the toddler update so you guys could see the toddlers (since I only have a baby right now) & see some of the objects in use.
same here when the baby swing came out in the store i instantly bought it lol im not one to buy things from the store. i used to when EA would give those sim point cards away when you bought a game i think lasted up to like ambitions. i have my wishlist and have gotton gifted a few time but i think the store is so ridiculous
and the video is great
The game makes things so hard, and EXPENSIVE! Those items with the yellow numbers cost life points to buy (which is why my kid has the cheap stuff lol). You can earn lifepoints, but very slowly, or you can buy them with real money of course!
Then the costume chest I don't have because it cost $4.99 real money to purchase!
Its ridiculous.. Then in order to grow up a baby to a toddler it costs 10 lifepoints and takes 24hrs to bake a birthday cake. I only have 4 life points right now so I can't afford the cake. I very much would love to have her grown up though so I can see her play with her toys
How cute! Yes it would look great. Why are they being lazy although if they are going to add this i geuss it will have to be a stuff pack but you can still add them stuff they aren't even so advanced its a app. Toddlers have hardly got anything gosh. COME EA you have done it for a app why not for a PC game!
The toddler beds, racing car and tea party tables are my favorite in the pics LOL
I have some good news (well good to me lol) I finally finished construction on my firestation, and completed the challenge I've been stuck on for days, and since I had done alot in that time waiting I plowed through the next like 6 challenges cause they were already complete, which ended me with 41 lifepoints right now (more to come when dad is done gardening & can change baby's diaper for next challenge).
Which means I can afford a birthday cake & grow my baby into a toddler. However I believe I will get a free cake, because I believe one of the challenges is to grow the baby up & they give you a free cake to do that.
PLAY HIDE N GO SEEK!
Our children in Sims 3 can't even do that, much less toddlers! Also as soon as she grew up, she toddled over to the livingroom chair & climbed up in it.. Why can't our toddlers in Sims 3 do that once they learn to walk?
More to come once I explore the toddler world some more, especially if I find anything else that we don't have for Sims 3, that we should have!
*edit* Playing with the teaset is adorable! She picks up the tea pot & fills her cup & her stuffed animals cup, then takes her cup & shoves it in the stuffed animals face, then takes a drink and laughs.. Super cute! We need this for our Sims 3 toddlers & kids!
i just started playing where did you find the toddler stuff. i can't find it
I watched the live chat for Lucky Palms, and one of the Gurus said, "I hate the baby stage."
Its in the buy catalog under Nursery. Or you can build a Nursery store where you get the same items just for cheaper. Make sure you have the latest updates & stuff because that was a later added feature I believe.
I feel the same way, they totally neglected the babies, and the toddlers are barely doing any better than them. Might as well not even have those life stages at all if you ask me. I myself usually do not touch the babies until it's time to grow them up. If their needs get low I just max their motives. They sit in their cribs for 2-3 days.
"Generations" is an example of a squandered potential, a colossal misspending of resources. These things and many more besides should have been put in that pack to give toddlers more depth. And ever since that EP, all other EPs have been focused almost stricly on YA and Adults, to the neglect of all other ages.
Hell, even cats and dogs have more to do than our toddlers, and that is a sad, sad state of affairs.
Sims 3 is winding down, the nails already lined up to help seal its coffin. EA, you have a very, very narrow window in which to make this right. These ideas would go a long, long way in doing that.
Oh, and for a Guru to say they hate the baby stage is just dumb. YOU IDIOTS ARE THE ONES WHO MADE THE BABY STAGE SO BORING IN THE FIRST PLACE. DON'T LIKE IT? THEN FIX IT! We've only been asking for it for the last several months now, for bleep's sake.
Wonder why they do have all of that and we don't for TS3...hmmmm I think it could be something like....programming on that format's easier?
SOMEONE's got some 'splainin' to do!
