I know that this thread is completely full of great ideas, but that isn't going to stop me from getting in on the action. I love the idea of toddlers. They make the gameplay that much more realistic. I loved the past versions of toddlers just like other players, but what I love more is the potential that exists with this new system of emotions in The Sims 4. With emotions there is a whole new frontier we can tap into. When a parent has had a long, hard day at work and is completely tense, embarrassed, or even angry what is better to come home to than the bright wide-eyed joy that is a toddler? Think of the possibilities! There can be buffs that help to lessen the blow of a bad day, or even increase it. Toddlers aren't always predictable after all!
What would be better than the pride of knowing that you are responsible for your child's success in life, or the shame of contributing to their failures? With having to teach a toddler to walk, talk, use the potty, read, and whatever else you can think of, you now hold their very future in your hands. Parenting should be a skill. We aren't born knowing how to take care of children and neither are sims. It is a learning process, and just like the other skills it should be reflected that way. Having younger siblings can be a great way for teens to get the jump on this skill. When helping out with their younger siblings they can better prepare for their own future. Parents should be punished when they don't take care of their children. Aside from a social worker to come in and take the children away there should be other consequences. Maybe a child who isn't correctly potty trained develops leaky bladder syndrome and constantly wets the bed, or just has accidents in general. A child who isn't taught to walk could automatically be given the clumsy trait, and a child who isn't taught to talk could be given a socially awkward or something that makes them embarrassed and flustered when dealing with others. The rewards would naturally be having a happy, healthy, functioning child.
I've seen so many cuddling ideas in this thread, and I just wanted to add that it would be so adorable to have a toddle on the couch with it's father and they both fall asleep. A baby asleep on daddy's chest? How adorable would that be! I also think that pacifiers and bottles can be a good tool. Toddlers can be pacified when they have them, and inconsolable when they don't. They could also have to be weened off. I have hundreds of ideas honestly, but for the sake of us all I will stop here. Thanks for listening. Even if the gurus don't read this it was pretty fun just imagining all of these possibilities!
