Was really intended as an EP with toddlers, toddler stuff pack , kid's room stuff pack to be in one big Parenthood EP and they broke it down into three different packs and a toddler patch? Just asking. And not serious but since this is speculation think about it. Instead of a $40 pack they recouped their expense for toddlers in three packs instead of one.
$20+$10+$10....and anything else that might come later that would make you think it could have went into a Parenthood EP. Why break it down? Because people were not willing to actually pay for an EP with toddlers but only willing to accept a free patch. So, all the money recouped anyway in three packs and any other future packs having to deal with kids, teens and toddlers and family.

it's more likely that, if anything, toddler stuff is things they didn't have time to finish for parenthood
I think they did plan to add in toddlers eventually, but they had other things in the works first. The fact that we got Parenthood only 4 months or so after another GP (Vampires) probably means that they'd already done a lot of the work on the pack but had to wait until toddlers were patched in so they could finish the pack (add in the toddler interactions and do final testing), which may be why we didn't get much toddler-specific content in Parenthood, especially if they were aware a Toddler SP was going to be released this year. Remember that @SimGuruSarah had a thread asking for ideas for toddlers after the patch; some of those ideas made it into the toddler pack, others might make it into future GPs or EPs.

1. Different teams work on different packs.
2. Their art styles are very different.
3. Even though they all are family related packs, I can't see them meshed together. They are thematically different in my opinion. Sims 4 packs seem to follow a one clear theme.
But we know they take ideas from all their surveys and put the stuff in some of those in different mixed packs. Toddlers might have been planned with that pack that was to be about taking care of kids, and preteens, and moody teens etc. AKA Parenthood must have been born out of that survey idea instead of actually building the exact thing in the survey.
Yes some of those ideas did make it to the game play but we haven't seen them all (the gameplay.) I hear they are live streaming today hopefully we'll get to see more gameplay and idems.
Interesting theory. I don't think they ever intended for toddlers to be in a paid DLC though. I truly believe the only reason they released the game without them was the lack of time to create them, as they were never a part of TS4's initial online version.
NO no, and no, those packs are just what they are and nothing more,
Toddlers were added because people wanted toddlers back. Parenthood has more to do with teen and somewhat kids. not toddlers. also, toddlers needed a stuff pack to give them more stuff and outdoor toys. I hope we even get more.
Whats the difference in paying 40$ or 20+10+10, nothing, you buy what you want. Toddlers would cancel out any parenthood pack, No one would have paid much attention to parenthood if it came with the toddlers. they do not match ok, that's for teens and kids. it's mostly all about teens and phases. whats 40$ when you want a game, nothing. 39.99 that's 40$ + tax lol
