i have been playing around with these toddlers im not going to lie these are the cutest toddlers the sims has ever had makes it pretty worth the wait for me, especially since i was one who said they didn't NEED toddlers in their game. I did find a few bugs or issues but here is my general pros/cons list so far
Pros:
1 to dang cute
2 they climb stairs movement rank 2
3 they can grab a serving of adult food right off the counter and will climb on the couch to eat it
4 reading your toddler to sleep will satisfy the read to child for 2 hrs requirement for successful lineage
5 they are not completely helpless they can do many thing on their own.
6 the life span is not to short this is a very good thing
7 they can get the toddler books right off the bookshelf i did not see any other books available to the toddler.
8 they can put themselves to bed and ask for a bedtime story if the nanny/caregiver isn't paying attention.
9 cute little tablet to learn on
10 movement ranks up as you move around you do not HAVE to specifically rank it up
11 kids can play in the toilet and the "cabinets"
12 they "help" with gardening.
Cons:
1 if you have a single parent in an apartment you have to deal with a fussy child until the neighbors stop being noisy or the parent gets home. the nanny will not complain to them for your toddler.
2 wish we could have a set time for the nanny or that they would leave when the parent gets home.
3 toddlers in quake zones stretch temporarily right after a quake. they do go back but its rather jarring.
4 adults are a little to on the ball getting them out of the highchair before they have eaten even if they are starving

Along with number 4, the adults check up on them waaay too much over their own needs. I had to cheat my sims needs so she wouldn't starve.
I have a ton of sims with tons of spoiled food in their inventory now
And with this it's hard to make birthday/wedding cakes because they auto take a serving, thus you can't put a topper on it since a slice has been taken.
THE HORROR
put the toddler in a highchair while making cakes. Might help
I have
I feel like it's a glitch, it makes it impossible for us to make celebration cakes.
I haven't noticed that at all -- I have a Sim with the Fresh Chef trait (food never spoils) so I have her make a lot of food ahead and put it in the fridge (to save time in the morning and after work), and she has yet to put a serving in her inventory. I only have to worry about them auto taking a serving if they're really hungry (hunger level in the yellow).
I like that the nanny hangs around until dismissed -- I'll keep him/her there until my Sim has taken care of her required work tasks as well as her own needs. If I move my family to a new house before I have my second baby/toddler, I might hire a butler to keep tabs on my toddler.

1. Hair color keeps changing even after I go into CAS to change it back to the color they were born with
2. After some of my toddler turn into kids they are unable to go up the stairs until I exit to manage words and re enter the game.
Really that it for me so far- I'm so grateful to have these guys back!
I have that problem with one of my sims
Not my little one auto taking a serving of cake, whomever cooked it I meant (adult).

Mine does that too, but it happens only when the toddler is being too fussy or the tods energy is in red.
it depends on the person, both are extremely damaging

Sometimes I found they take them out of the highchair to then give them food on the floor - I was reaching boiling point - then my brain out-foxed them.
For probably the first time in my history of Simming I have been disabling autonomy - I disable it at meal times so I can get all of the toddlers in their high chairs - then drag the chuffing plates of food myself onto their high-chairs - let the toddlers commence scoffing and then trigger the parents to eat their food. This way nobody will touch a toddler once it has been seated.
Once mealtime is over I can turn autonomy back on.
Sorted.
We can only feed them in a high chair right??
