    Happy to see toddlers are finally getting a stuff pack as it has been much asked for. I don't see why some are surprised, there was a whole thread on toddlers and even a simguru asked what we would like to see on Twitter a few months back. Even the dry spell shouldn't come as much as a surprise since we got two game packs back to back, and lots of simmers have predicted a dry spell in speculation and rumors. Don't worry, Pets will be here before we know it! Fingers crossed the next EP after that will be seasons :)

    *crosses fingers for bug fixes*

    Toddler stuff looks great tho. I especially love the little black girl's hairstyle SO cute.

    I won't be buying this pack. While happy for whoever is excited for this, I'm also underwhelmed like someone else said prior to me. Oh well.

    I think it's awesome they will give toddlers more stuff, but one SP? It could be ok if it were a GP or an EP, but a SP? I mean we are talking of a few CAS items and one gameplay object, two if we are lucky and then just a few objects we already own but with a different style.

    My guess for the premium item is a sandbox.

    I can understand that they want to earn some money with the toddlers, but I hope this is the final children pack in this iteration. We desperately need more action for adults.

    To be honest we had:

    Get To Work: An expansion mostly for YA+

    Get Together: An expansion for all ages yes, but Kids and under can't use the dance skills, can't enjoy the late night clubbing, etc.

    City Living: Again for all ages in terms of living situation, but still geared towards YA+.

    Parenthood: To be honest, it's just for Parents. You can have a kid shape their own traits, but it's geared towards "Parenting".

    I won't even get into the stuff packs that had 0-1 things for Kids and Under and were mostly only for YA+. I honestly do not care about this pack, I may get it if it's good, I'm just glad that we finally have something for a lot of simmers who kept asking for it over and over and over again.

    Sometimes I feel like they are mocking us. Did we really need to wait three months to get a teaser about a SP?

    I don't know if this is something or not, but I noticed the patch of grass in the lower corner grew flowers between the before and after! The flowers behind the costume chest too! Do you think that means anything? (Seasons in a patch?) 0_0

    Wouldn't it be great if the toddlers could pick the flowers? I'd love to see it.

    It frustrates me a bit. I love we are getting more stuff for toddlers. But this is all for 3 months and on top of that it will be during summer vacation for some people? I feel like we used to get more content before we had quarterly teasers.

    It seems to be more than 'a bit'. Calm down. It's just DLC for a video game. I didn't get anything I was interested in this time around either. It will come in its own time. There's nothing malicious going on.

    I really hope that toy box is not one of the "new" gameplay objects I really want outdoor activities please let there be a sandbox.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I didn't say malicious. I am calm, I'm just dissapointed it's so little contents, I'm also ok with the theme. I just think this game in comparison to other sims games is very lacking to afford giving us such little content. I could get a bigger SP just by downloading CAS items for toddlers. I just buy SPs for the game play objects. I was only 40% sure we would see pets right now, but one sp? At least give us some new challange or something

    What about exploring worlds? Swimming in oceans, surfing, driving cars? Having romances and hot dates? Enjoying show and fashion careers? Playing with witches and werewolves? I know that family players have been disappointed without toddlers, but the truth is that TS4 with its closed worlds has always been focused on households. And the cats & dogs EP will not change this.

    I think it is healthy to remember that the developers are people too. They have families and wants and desires. They want to take vacations in the summer too. So Q3 ends up being light. That's life.

    ??? That has nothing to do with it. All profesionals are people and they work extremely hard. Doctors, lawyers, teachers and many other careers. This is not high school.

    It absolutely may have much to do with it. People take the bulk of their vacation time in the summer. Offices are often staffed more lightly simply because workers are down the shore. It isn't high school, it's the real world.

    Summer started near the end of June. Late summer is around mid-September, right before the end of the quarter.

    I'm guessing a Summer Challenge and a bigger sized patch between now and then.

    Surely if there was a challenge they would have included it in the teaser. They did that for the day of the dead challenge.

    Maybe in your world. In my world people work hard all year long and don't have the law of minimum effort just because summer is around the corner.

    Or at least a GP, or another SP.
