Hello one and all. Thank you @sparkfairy1 for the get-well-wishes. Kimmy (Park) is quite the motor-mouth once she gets rolling, isn't she? Sorry she had a hand in the Thread Derailment. (I oughtta send her to her room for that)
But at least she promised to refrain from that in the future and she is a girl of her word.
But she's right on one count. Though we don't do much in the way of Family Play, we do like other aspects of TS 4, it does not mean we do not support the purpose of this thread and those in here who would, at best, love to see the game made more robust with the placement of missing content, regardless of whether it was "supposed to be" missing or not, or at the very least, as said before perhaps to the point of repeating myself too often, a frank and open answer as to why the young life stages can't be re-aligned to accommodate tots and more interesting babies in the current game, not as add-on purchased content, which would be restricted to the scope of the EP alone and not game-wide, not to mention why pay for what ought to have been included from the get-go.
In hindsight I am at a loss as to why "market research" wasn't executed before this current game was programmed. With the volume of those in here and no doubt others who feel the same but don't post because of earlier digital fisticuffs.
I hope and urge the Powers that Be will do this sort of thing for a Sims 5, if there is to be one.
Perhaps, as Kimmy pointed out, if tots, meaningful babies, and more accurate Teen sims were in-game, we both would play them, and likely enjoy their contribution to the overall gaming experience.
The babies, as they are now are sometimes creepy, actually.
Now look at Moi.. Getting gabby myself. Have a swell evening and/or wee-hour morning everyone!
That is one thing I'll never understand is why the Sims 4 babies had to be designed like the Sims 1 babies. I didn't want to go back to the object cradle babies. I thought the Sims series was done with that.

Me too. It's why I can't connect with the sims 4 kids. It's such a shame because I love the advances in pregnancy and it's such a let down to go from something done better than older game to a feature regressed to the standard 15 years ago.
I'd adore crafts in the sims-especially all those cute things for toddlers and kids!
Yeah I think there is a lot that still could be done to expand the child's life stage even. I'd love them to have noodle fights in the pool and just more outdoor activities for them to do.

We have a TS 1 game on an old but still functional computer.
I played it a bit before Sims 4. and the babies are just as dreadful there as on Sims 4, but I did like "Social Worker Sylvia" who would come and collect the overlooked crib urchins.
I do not yet know if there is a "social worker" on "4", or do the infernal little beasts simply vanish?
As with this version, our TS 1 is just the base.
EDIT: Mine was quite the full house in Sims 1, so I did have one or two little monsters repossessed, and I was right chastened by the game, which informed me that I should be "ashamed of myself".

That would be so cute. It makes me wonder why drawing pictures or coloring books for the kids and toddlers were never added. Many kids love to draw and color pictures and give them to the people they adore. The parents could then post them on the fridge or something. Then, when a kid would walk by and see their work, they can have the option to feel pride or joy.
I really need to reinstall Sims 1. I just don't really have enough time to play the games I already have! But there were some really charming things about it, and I loved the bake oven added with Making Magic, where you had to have the cookbook and all the ingredients to bake (Three per recipe, if I recall). That never really got replicated in subsequent games.

The Sims 1 is actually so hard, it's amazing. Living a balanced life, keeping their needs up, making friends, advancing in careers - it's all actually rather challenging I love playing it sporadically, but I usually end up going back to TS2 or TS3 so my simmies can age.

It makes me laugh as back in TS1 if you wanted a teen or an elder, you just used an adult Sim.
The Jeff Pleasent head was used for elder men and I used the House Party heads with coloured hair for teens and young adults.
In TS4 the life stages are on par with TS1. You have object babies, kids and various adult type stages that all look the same.
That annoyance came to realisation when I played the free trial, I had a teenage boy to try and talk to a teenage girl only to find out that she was a YA so she wasn't interested in him. That is a shame as I liked them I troducing the teenage stage the most in TS2 as I was 17 at the time so felt the teenage stage was worth the wait.

I second this, and have you ever played the console version (I only had the console version of sims 1 I only ever played th pc version at my friends house) I find it even harder as everything falls on meeting the goals and keeping friends so you can finally own malcoms mansion. I never got past mimi's house.
Its amazing how far the Sims games has come at the same time it leaves me so disappointed.
I´ve been a little bussy these days as I am waiting (in any moment now) my seventh grandchild to be born, so I spend a lot of time at my doughter´s trying to help her with her two boys ( five and three years old OMG).
In any case not to bussy as to not find some time to play my Manderley story (or lurking through this thread from time to time...), Noelia has come back from UNI, started to work and found love, this time it seams that everything is going oficial and they are planning an engagement party where families can meet and all the stuff
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
Yeah babies just disapear in the sims 4 if they arent cared for. I saw it on a video on youtube. At least the sims 1 a social worker visits to take the baby away.
So anyway things are pretty crazy with my sims game lately. Ive been playing multiple saves at this time. Right now Im playing a game with a mom and dad, and a lot of kids. The oldest kid used to be girly and fancy dressed. She was that kind of girl. When she became a teen she met a boy and got her 1st kiss at prom. It was so sweet. He asked her to prom. She was doing good in school as well. She is smart and she has been interested in stars and her dream is to be a doctor. Then everything changed. One day something horrible happened. Her boyfriend drowned and died. She was devistated. She went into a deep depression and when changed her whole style. She became goth and she was into dark things. She started visiting the grave yard and stuff often. She grew up and the one thing that didnt change was her desire to become a doctor. In fact after the death happened it made her want to help save lives even more. So she rolled the wish to go to college. So I decided that with her encouragement that her career would be her main focus from now on. So she moved out into college. Lived with a bunch of girls. Which she wasnt that thrilled about living with all these girls. But still she loved her freedom. I wasnt sure what rout she would go for once she got into college. I kind of left it up to her to decide. So she decided school came 1st and pleasure and parties came 2nd. She did go to parties but only if she had time. Also she did make some interesting friends. Overall I think university was a good time for her. She got an A for her 1st term. She still has another term to go but for now shes at home with her family. Still hmm there is something different about her now. Baileys family noticed. (the focus point of my game at the moment) And its not her whole goth look anymore. Its deeper then that now. But they arent sure what it is thats different about her. But something changed at university.
I played TS3 a bit earlier and also had two Sims go to prom. They both changed into their outer ware when they arrived but I got a notification saying that my Sim saw another Sim wearing the same tuxedo as him...
Another Universe in which Tomeka existed in Hidden Springs. Still touting her Fear of Commitment trait and Flirty trait, she waltzed through the town being with whoever she wanted to be with, whenever she wanted. Life was okay for Tomeka.
You know, until she met someone that she actually...liked being around more often than once every few weeks. She started inviting him over once a week, then twice a week, then every day. Eventually -- EVENTUALLY -- she got the desire to start dating him. Through some carelessness on her part, though, she found out that she was already pregnant with another man's baby. Her new beau didn't care, though, and raised the little girl as his own.
I really like this file but, unfortunately, I only have a couple of SFW pictures from it. Trying to see if I can make a spicy Simblr. ;p
They'd moved to another town by the second picture. Hidden Springs is pretty great but also so small!

I hope this isn't the new version of Mrs. Crumplebottom. I want purse slapping, not farting. Like how old are we, three? Sighs the potty humor in the Sims 4 sometimes.
The dolls always seemed kind of creepy to me, and due to the Sims 4 babies resembling them (in my eyes), the Sims 4 babies look creepy to me too. As much as I like how pregnancy is done in Sims 4, the look of the babies has always bothered me. Even if they were unleashed from the bassinet, I'd need some improvements on how they look.

Ditto. Sims 4 babies totally creep me out. All I see are Resusci-Babies. http://www.laerdal.com/images/L/AAACFPIR.jpg
Makes me miss slapjack humor. Poor grandma. Grandmas aren't the only ones that fart anyways.
From Day 1, the Sims 4 babies reminded me of this toy-
