      I just thought of another thing to add. Ultrasound Pictures of the baby so you can put it up on a wall.

      I hope players aren't penalized for aging up the toddlers early, in terms of traits n all that. I do believe those who stick with them long enough to complete whatever tasks there might be for them should be rewarded, but I hope it's in terms of items (much like how you get the cardboard dance floor at a certain level in that skill). Maybe unlocked children's toys or outfits, like some of the careers have. Or discounts on babysitters or something. Seems more fair all around.

      If skipping the toddler stage immediately means either a lack of a trait or a negative one, I'll go out of my way to never have them. Begin families with children already or adopt or something.
      Live, laugh and love. Life's too short not to.

      I hope so too. Nice ideas.

      @TheGoodOldGamer I agree. There should be no penalty for aging toddlers up so players who don't want them don't have to feel that they are a burden but for those who do want to play with them and maybe get them skilled up their could be some vantages such as maybe they could gain skills quicker and progress through school faster and maybe even later in life they could get a better chance in a career.

      This way there could be more purpose to toddlers rather than just 'looking cute' and filling in the gap between baby and child and might set toddlers aside from TS2 or TS3.

      I wouldn't be interested in toddlers myself but if I thought that there was a vantage with them, I might play through them more as it could give me a stronger Sim which I might be grateful for later on.

      Just when I'm feeling hopeless about toddlers, I read this on Twitter. XD



      It is true the Sims Freeplay does have some pretty sweet life stages including cool babies and toddlers. It just makes me wonder if Gurus are checking out this thread today.

      But honeslty, I hope toddlers have a ton of rewarding traits to age up with. If a toddler Is constantly scolded about bad things, then they get rewarded with the Perfectionist trait or the Good trait.

      It would be nice If a different trait outcome would be different everytime. For example:

      Toddler 1 gets scolded for writing on the walls about (6 times In 1 day, 3 days = 18 times. 18 times In 3 days = rewarded with Perfectionist trait after being scolded 18 times).

      Toddler 2 gets scolded for screaming and yelling about (5 times In 1 day, 3 days = 15 times. 15 times In 3 days = rewarded with Good trait after being scolded 15 times).

      The toddler stage Is so fun because you get to do anything and plan everything for them, for me I like to do tons of things with my children sims too. I like the Idea/feature and I'm sure alot of others do too, (like we train animals to get rewarded traits besides lifetime points).

      Or they could upload it online and share it like most people do anyway.

      I call it the baby scan generation. Where I live it is fashionable almost! :open_mouth:

      So I wouldn't mind having beds instead of cribs for the tiny tots.

      How about getting a toddler bed as a reward when the toddler have learned to walk!?

      All I know is that I definitely want toddler beds instead of (or in addition to) cribs haha

      Yes! I do hope we will have the option for them to sleep on the crib too though. I love the idea of aging my baby to a toddler and still have them sleep on a crib because they still don't know how to walk or stand up on their own. Once they would learn though, we could get them toddler beds and they could get in and out on their own. I think this would give EA a lot of freedom to make them a bit more independent, but I want them to be more dependent before they learn to walk. It would be a really nice transition, like watching them slowly growing.
      Babies are sims too! Ideas to improve the baby lifestage.

      Oh wow, that's a great idea. For learning to talk maybe a baby monitor? Learning to poop, uh....*thinks* a kiddie pool?

      - Crawl out of Crib feature (can be automous or player done)
      - Being able to mess with open fridge
      - Able to walk slowly downstairs
      - Able to climb onto beds and other low furniture.

      It would be a bonus If some of this required a certain skill level.
      Complete the walking milestone = Able to walk down the stairs & Climb on beds/furniture.
      Complete the social skill = Toddler can learn tv songs (new t.v channel called goodmorning toddlers) :joy:

      Games:
      Money counting games
      Block building
      Baby dolls for Toddlers to carry
      Hand games
      Nintendo sort of thing

      I hope that when toddlers are added that babies are also fixed. If babies are still an object when toddlers happen, I still won't buy the game. There is so much about the game that lacks, I still might not even buy it then. Too much time has passed. And I still want an open world sim game.

      If toddlers are a thing, maybe there will be a clipping issues on female parents that has big breast. But I still don't care about that at least we have toddlers :D

      Sims literally stand in each other in this game. I highly doubt clipping is a major factor to the devs this iteration.

      If toddlers and pets are ever added to this game again I want toddlers to cuddle with pets. In TS2 my sims baby just aged up to a toddler and I had him go over to hug the cat and the cat looked terrified and the toddler looked so happy, it was so funny :)
      Also I want peek-a-boo back because it's too adorable(once again in TS2) the father and toddler were so cute. I'm already more attached to these sims then I have been to any that I made in TS4

      I don't get the whole toddler hype to be honest. I found them annoying in sims 2 and when I read the ideas on the first page I'm just thinking to myself that when my family has toddlers, they're going to be forced to care for them more than for a child. The ideas in this thread are more complex and time-consuming than any other life stage. I know that toddlers are probably going to be a thing at some point but in all honesty... I hope they're not. I love to play with families but I don't have to have everything revolve around a toddler.

      Please do not derail the thread.

      @JoyfulSims @SimGuruDrake said this thread is not for people to say they don't want toddlers-it's quite clearly on the front page.

      Apparently not clearly enough for me because I didn't see it. I must be blind.
      Didn't mean to derail the thread, I thought it was open for discussion. Apologies.

      I think that toddlers should be able to use toys to gain Child-skill levels immediately upon age up, in a similar fashion to TS3.

      For example, playing with a peg-hole toy should give up to 3 levels of Mental skill whenever they start building it as a child.
      Building blocks, activity tables, or a xylophone toy should give Creative skill.
      Learning to talk, or a toy that teaches them words should give Social skill.
      And learning to walk, using a walker, or a toy vacuum/mower should give them Motor skill.
