    Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited for it and happy that the team is giving us some long-requested family play. However, I can't help but feel it looks a little empty from the trailer. Is making a mess the only new feature for toddlers? No strollers or swings or new toys? Or even hairs? I love the little dolly medical set, but is that the only new interactive object? I was expecting more gameplay objects and interactions, instead of just the new parent/child system. :confused:

      There's more stated in the blog, I'm on phone now so can't really find the link.
      I regret some of my life choices.

      It's really a bummer that in a pack all about family play there's a lot of "Schoolwork" and "parenting" focus but very little that the community has been asking for. Where is the new playground equipment (jungle gyms, slides, swings, treehouses, bouncy horses) or new toddler hairs?

      Don't be fooled. Unless they have finally released the actual trailer by now, but the one that they have shown so far is just a teaser trailer. The official trailer should be out sometime today hopefully there will be more that meets the eye

      I mean, I really do like it, but I miss my swingset and just simple playground equipment. So if it turns out that isn't in the game I might be getting it at sale for 50% off. I'm still waiting for an answer if we get new toddler hair aswell.

      @RhiiJayy The trailer is already out actually.

      We have punishment, reunion of family, parenting skill, works from the school and more. It's not empty, swings ect will probably be in ''outdoor activities''.

      I think this pack rather focuses on enhancing gameplay, which can be hard to depict in a trailer. So I'd wait for the livestream.

      It is, or I wouldn't say so. Looks as deep as Vampires was to me.

      I really like the idea of this pack and what I have seen so far.

      However I am still missing some (to me) important things.

      - Where are the Bunk Beds?
      - Where are Canes? (Where are the Elders anyway?)
      - Where are the Strollers?
      - No new playground equipment?

      Hmm..

      It seems like the pack is focusing more on gameplay features like the parenting skill/personality traits, rather than gameplay objects, although there do seem to be quite a few regular objects (kitchen, bed) included as well.

      It seems full of lots of awesome stuff to me. And that's judging only from the trailer and the blog we got today. I'm sure we'll find out even more things later on. It looks like it will be focused more on gameplay, so it's probably not that easy to show everything all at once.

      Exactly this, I really do love the new gameplay adds a lot of mayhem, however a lot is still missing for me, so i'm a bit on and off about it.
