Wow, lots of great ideas! Just a few on my mind that I didn't see (and I might have missed them since I'm just catching up...)
1. Toddlers should exhibit parental preferences (typically for mommy, but for whichever parent they might fancy at the moment). Ever been holding a clingy toddler when their MOMMY walked into the room? ... you are no longer relevant.
1. Once toddlers are potty trained, I'd like to see them use the "big" toilet, but then need help finishing up (they might sit there and scream for attention, whereby the adult would have to come take them off the potty). And have accidents on occasion...
2. Doors should have an options on them: "Open / Closed / Auto" giving the parent or older sibling the opportunity to close the door without having to lock it. The door, when closed would be impenetrable by toddlers (and maybe one day, pets). BUT...
3. Once a toddler learns to walk, they would to be able to get into more and more things. Some options might be:
a. climb onto furniture
b. take a stool wherever they want to climb
c. open the bedroom door of their sibling and mess up the room (take out toys, unmake bed).
d. get into Mommy's room and, if there is a makeup table, get into mommy's makeup
e. open bottom dresser drawers and "play with socks".
And, as everyone else has said, lots of stuff, lots and lots of stuff, and some more stuff. There is little time in the life of a human, when they have more STUFF than the baby/toddler stage.
For that matter, what about charging for diapers? That would also be an incentive to potty train early.
And charging for formula? Then add an eating skill that will allow parents to wean kiddos off of formula or breastfeeding.
Those are my thoughts. I loved toddlers in Sims 2 and Sims 3, but thought the Sims 2 ones were a little more fun due to the extra features like bathing them, and having to clean up their diapers off the floor if you didn't use the changing table.
Oh, and bring back Nanny's who track your schedule and show up at the same time every day (well, in theory anyway)... only please don't let them be completely stupid like the last set...maybe even have "interviews" for the position, where your Sim could peek into the skill set of the interviewee and decided which Nanny to hire. And even let Nanny be a career choice!
