Your experiences with toddlers.

Today my sim Sophia adopted a little baby called George. He aged up into a toddler and I chose the fussy trait. I haven't really had any big issues when it comes to my toddlers having this trait, but today I ate my words.
- He didn't sleep through the night. Every night he woke up crying, even with a nightlight.
- Sandwiches were a big no for him! Chucked them straight on the floor. Eating time became a big mess and he ended up living on animal crackers and apple sauce because he wouldn't eat anything else.
- His mum would suggest a bath or to use the potty, kicked up a right stink and threw a wobbler because 'he didn't want to!'
- He finally aged into a child and I thought the nightmare was over. Oh no. I made him play with the doctor bear to give him a bit more empathy, and he ended up crying because his bear was sick.
- He then cried when his mum adopted a little brother for him.
I'd love to hear any similar experiences with your toddlers
As much as George was a complete nightmare and rung rings around his mum, I really enjoyed playing the family. It was challenging and it's made me realise that each toddler is a little different.

Of the toddlers I have atm, only one has been a problem so far. The Benali kid (I think that is the name of the couple that comes with the city pack and the wife is already pregnant), when I grew her up from a baby I chose the wild trait. I then immediatly moved the family to a bigger apartment (because no way was their original apartment big enough for three) in the Arts Quarters, where I immediatly lost the brat because she decided to wander.
Wander! I have no idea where she went and I could NOT find her (even by clicking on her face) but somehow I got her back. Well. She toddled back, pleased as a punch while I was...yeah never mind.
That incident should have told me I was in for a ride. She is a wandering, tandrum filled, never keeps her clothes on little brat and oh my god do the parents have to clean the high chair soooo often. They are also the only parents that autonomously scold their toddler or lecture because; bad behaviour! I've been so lucky!
The other few traits I have tried; charmer, silly and clingy, and they are a breeze. Well, so far. The clingy one can be a little tricky but I solved it by creating a little play corner in the painting studio and in the diningroom. Those aer areas where a parent is most likely to be. That way no more issue about being left alone.
Does hiring a Nanny prevent them from being taken away? I always seem to get them taken away.
The problem is this makes the big sister incredibly angry being woken night after night, so she is stomping around while putting her little sister back to bed, lol. She is still usually angry and moody when she wakes up in the morning. This family situation is a bit volatile at the moment, but it's so much fun to play them.
@joleaco - I agree, it is fun to play with them when they are acting up!
@Stina1701A - I've had a few wanderers!!

But I agree, the toddlers in the Sims 4 are the best so far. I think I became fan of toddlers now (at least in the Sims

Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

From sun up to sun down, he was a bit of a menace. He cried initially when his younger brother (the blond) was born. But he likes him now.

I play an Amazon legacy, so there are babs aplenty in my Sim world. So when they become toddlers, I kind of have to develop a system. Make sure they're fed and clean so that they can at least be independent for awhile, and teach them the very basics of potty training so they can go on their own without adult help.
Also, MAKE SURE that you make a family-size meal and have it available for the toddlers. They get hungry so fast, and then you are in danger of the social worker if they get too hungry.
Other than that, buy blocks and other toddler toys so that can have fun and learn--again without constant adult supervision. My tod learned blocks at the highest level most entirely on her own the other night.
It appears so! Nannies aren't that effective, my toddlers were miserable, but they didn't get taken away at least.
