    uGGHHH I was reading this and thinking wow... then pages into it, I actually looked at the dates instead of the words.. That is very frustrating to find that file over a year ago and still no toddlers.. :s

    There has actually been a placard in place for the unknown age in the game since the game came out. I saw that when going through the game files and code. It has been there all along.

    Oh and the diapered baby pictured is the baby and not a toddler - that shows the baby like that in various staged game pics. We first assumed it was the Sims 2 baby orinally as it looks the same - but it was the Sims 4 baby - they eventually decided to dress instead so now just use it in promo's.

    They have been there since the game was released. There is evidence that toddlers were at least considered and even perhaps coded for to some extent, but for whatever reason didn't make it in.

    Thanks both of you, I honestly was fighting being excited till I read the whole thing because I didn't notice the thread growing, then once I saw the date, I got even more disappointed.. I just wished they would bring them and be done with it..

    Or it's a terrible in-joke!

    Let's hope not. And if so, hopefully EA will consider replacing the jokesters with a team more dedicated.

    At this point I just wish they'd say yes or no.

    I know what you all mean - for sure. It is beyond maddening!

    I reached my saturation point - and have just stopped buying anything else no matter how interesting it looks. We get toddlers - then I will be back buying - but without them I am done. To me there is just no point as my game play just requires them to make me enjoy the game period. New stuff gives me at most a couple hours of joy and then I am right back where I was for the next so many months waiting for something else.

    Luckily I still have Sims 2 and Sims 3 I still find very enjoyable - so maybe EA just does not need our money any more.

    No, I did not. I must've missed it in the rules. Whoops.

    I want my little darling toddlers back, I miss them terribly! AND they(EA) better not create them like they've created babies in TS4-ya know attached to a crib-OBJECTS-no,no,no! I don't think many Simmers want a toddler to be an object and not a lifestage!!!! Hello SimGuru's, Do you hear me???? I really hope you're working on them now!!!!!!

    Well this thread seems to be a popular bump.

    As I have said before, I think that they are interested in adding toddlers as there is a lot of feedback going. I think that given the choice they would add them tomorrow but if course, being realistic, that isn't possible.

    The way I see it is, there are very clear signs that they are taking feedback into consideration. Take the Kids SP. I do not doubt for a second that they wouldn't have chosen that theme had it not been for the negative feedback relating to 'not enough family play and stuff for kids' and at the same time the reasons for less EPs is because they want more time to make them and not rush them out. GTW had a very ropey reception and I think they are trying to avoid the mistakes that they used to make.

    So if you think that they are not listen, you might be suprised as there are very clear signs that they are attempting to make improvements. It might not happen over night but as I said before, it is not exactly the dark days from when the game first launched.

    You want toddlers? Then next year might be your lucky year :smile:

    It would be great if they add a toddler life stage, I hope this would be possible in the not too distant future (fingers crossed for generation EP)

    Question is, has this piece of coding been there since the release, or did it came with a patch?
  • Krisha880Krisha880 Posts: 1,553 Member
    Was disappointed to see that this thread was old :/ I feel like my hope is dwindling. I miss toddlers so much, but I also miss teens :'(
  • SimsweetieSimsweetie Posts: 562 Member
    At this point with all the stuff that has been released, I really doubt toddlers are making an appearance in TS4 ever. They just won't say that because they know it would cause an uproar. Fingers crossed for TS5.

    :| I have become jaded since I said I didn't take silence for an answer. I have to take that back since that was May 2015 and this is July 2016. Another year since this thread was written by the op, and still no words just dead silence.

    I'm not sure they are 'improving' with clear signs. It's like give in one hand and take away with the other. Example: Gender patch, but oh by the way, we patched in relationship decay will be even faster. On top of our relationship culling and townie culling. Enjoy dressing up your Sims.

    Or, Hey look we added play objects just for kids in our new SP, but by the way, your kids may not remember their parents. Happy Simming!
    Hey look we know you guys have been wanting restaurants but forget about long time employees, we had to cull them.

    Honestly I want to be excited but I can't all this dangling carrot, teaser, speculations and nothing comes of it this is like a another speculation unless it's confirmed other that that yeah I'm throwing in the towel.

    I never really cared about toddlers and aged them up very quickly, only taught them the basics to walk, potty, etc so I could select their traits Other then that, I did not play them. But I do hope that if we get toddlers that their is better play action with them. Maybe then I will enjoy them.

    Hello everyone! I'm going to be closing this thread as it is just getting bumped up to drive speculation / arguments.
