Are all toddlers moody little monsters???

xXxskulls94 · January 2017

So I love the toddlers addition, obviously. But all of my tots thus far have been moody little gremlins, rarely happy, at best "Fine." Is this anyone else's experience? I mean, I love how realistic it is but at the same time ....

I have tried almost EVERY trait for toddlers and so far they are ALL moody. They are either sad or angry at all times.

I have not tried the vampire toddlers yet. I bought the vampire pack last night and haven't gotten to even touch it yet.

UGH Thank goodness, I was afraid I was just an awful Sim parent XD

If you are, so am I.

Umm... my toddlers have usually been happy. They'll become sad when they have a nightmare or when a family member leaves, and angry when they're super hungry, tired, or have a full bladder, but that always goes away once they've eaten, slept, or gone to the bathroom. And with the sadness, that never lasts long, either.

Maybe I'm just lucky?

I have honestly had the worse luck. It probably didn't help that my sim had twins!

Yes! Is it just me or has fertility went up in game play??? I've had more twins than ever without any rewards traits or anything

Are you living in an apartment? Noisy neighbors put them in a negative mood quick.

Simsweetie · January 2017

My tots are almost always happy but I have a parent dedicated to taking care of them pretty much full time.

I downloaded a sim from the community gallery and she ended up being pregnant with twins. Bad idea. Right now they are both toddlers. My mom sim is a single parent and I had to make her quit her job to stay home with them full time. I plan on her going back to work when they start school.

My first toddler (and only one so far) is "Angelic". Mostly she's great. She gets hungry or tired but never for long because Mum and Dad are trading off caring for her. The noisy apartment neighbours wake her up and she cries. I love her to pieces.

What traits do they have? some traits are moodier than others.

CrazySimLady · January 2017

I like the independent trait, because then the toddlers can learn some skills on their own, including the potty skill.

xXxskulls94 · January 2017

I've only tried "charmer" "independent" and "clingy" and all of them were equally moody

Figwit · January 2017

My "silly" one was my easiest but she was the sixth and I had a teen as well as the parents (and the other children) to entertain her. She just giggled her way through the day and rarely got into a bad mood. The worst was the "wild" one but then he was my first toddler.

AshtontoAshton22 · January 2017

I think that once you get the Thinking skill up, it says your Toddler will never defy. If you don't want 'em angry all the time, just cheat that skill up.

Jprp83 · January 2017

I only play with one family and I take my time with the gameplay so I've only had one toddler so far. She gets sad once in a while but I've rarely seen her angry. Other than that she's mostly fine. I do feel her needs decline a lot faster than older sims though.

Elimarna · January 2017

Mine have insane mood swings. Every single one of the 8 I've had (across two saves). Within one sim hour, I swear, they'll go from Fine to Angry to Happy to Sad like nobody's business. If I had a dog crate, I'd stick 'em in it.

DeKay · January 2017

I actually like that their always moody cuz my YA sims are always too happy all the time. $:\$

JoAnne65 · January 2017

This isn't realistic by the way. Toddlers can have their whims and moods, but they never last long and most of the time toddlers in fact are happy with nothing. If this is true - finally planning to really play them tonight and tomorrow - I'd regret that. I hope it's just a matter of taking care of them (like people always say toddlers in Sims 3 are very demanding and in my game they are always quite satisfied and easy to handle; really hope it's something like that

).

I see alot of people are mentioning traits here but another thing that could help is lvling up communication skills and such

I think it is mostly the communication skill that make your toddler have less tantrums and stuff. ANd the imagination or thinking will help when it comes to nightmares and stuff I think.

I've noticed that my toddlers become angry pretty easily if one of the needs are down, otherwise, they are usually pretty happy.

king_of_simcity7 · January 2017

Are toddlers not supposed to me little monsters anyway?

Simanite · January 2017

My toddlers are usually happy.

ibaeshaC · January 2017

It seemed like my one independent toddler got less cranky over time as he learned skills. He got really angry in the first day or two when mommy sim just tried to read him a story. It was funny. Toddler sim throws tantrum, mommy sim gets tense.

What I notice is that they will get angry if they are tired or hungry. They will get sad or angry when skill-learning with caregiver when they've decided they've had 'enough' of talking, flashcards, story, w/e. I must be a bad sim-mom because I just let the toddler go to daycare while my Sim went to work and hired a nanny for when she went out at night. I did not manage to get toddler skills maxed, except for communication and potty, doing it this way, though. The rest of the skills were at 3 or 4.

can you please tell me what name they are?? I'd love to play a single mum with twins.

My toddlers are usually happy except as has been stated, when there hungry, tired or need to pee really badly, nightmare or parent leaves for work. or noisy neighbours. though sometimes they sleep through that noise. They do get happy with play.
