Can we have a toddler based pack?

i just have a thought on this, i still haven't figured everything out but i don't think the team have done this before but for some realistic gameplay i'm thinking about having a toddler based pack (Expansion Pack to be exact)

we can have a world which is centered on toddlers, we should have more toddlers stuff, more options for an already existing skills so they can learn things a little faster, more activities to do for toddlers

little kids can have a bit more interractions with toddlers, even more realistic gameplay

a small amusement park for toddlers

more toys for toddlers (including classic things before tablets were a thing) like more stuffed animals for examble

have games options that's based on toddlers, some games can be played by like almost each lifestages (except babies and infants)

playground that's made for toddlers, Swings, Toddlers Swings at the park

have a swimmingpool that's made for toddlers with mini watersliders, more variety for the toddler pools

more unique hairs and maybe some should come with some cute items, more toddlers clothes

it's not mandatory but the parents (or other caregivers) can register toddlers for preschool by either using the computer or phone so toddlers can hangout with other toddlers from their age and become friends with them

more book options for toddlers older lifestages can tell toddlers stories on a book (even little kids so they can learn how to interract with toddlers)

daycare career for adult and maybe even for teen sims even if it's a rabbit-hole

a new venue type called "toy store" so the parents can buy stuff for toddlers (infants and children are also okay by me though) so toddlers can make a good use of it

atleast 2 new personality traits for toddlers:

-spoiled brat
meaning they get a happy moodlet if they get things they want but gets angry if they won't get things they wants

-grouchy
meaning it's difficult for toddlers to have a happy moodlet, they are more often in a angry moodlet

Pacifiers, Strollers and Car Seats

i know we have storybook nursery kit based on toddlers and a stuff pack based on toddlers exist but it's so small i want more options for toddlers and an expansion pack called "growing together" is for like each stages

i can't think of other things but maybe as for the basegame update they can call not only a certain sim to ask certain sim to hangout with them but also have other household invite them over just like The Sims 2 did for a more realistic gameplay and this time they can include atleast infants and toddlers so the parents can bring them over so other sims can meet infants and/or toddlers and if an another toddler is in the house 2 toddlers meet each other and play with each other

in my opinion it should be an expansion pack even if most of the gameplay is focussed on toddlers

  • I would also like to add Pacifiers, Strollers, Car Seats, Swings, Toddlers Swings at the park. More variety for the toddler pools. 

  • The idea here is too narrow. Most of what you mentioned can be done with other packs.

    have a swimmingpool that's made for toddlers with mini watersliders, more variety for the toddler pools

    A toddler pool comes withe seasons. It doesn't have a mini waterslide but there aren't waterslides in the game for regular pools.

    daycare career for adult and maybe even for teen sims even if it's a rabbit-hole

    Sims can run a daycare with business and hobbies. There is the babysitter part-time job in the base game.

    a new venue type called "toy store" so the parents can buy stuff for toddlers (infants and children are also okay by me though) so toddlers can make a good use of it

    You can already run a toy store with the Get to Work or Business & Hobbies expansion packs.

    -grouchy
    meaning it's difficult for toddlers to have a happy moodlet, they are more often in a angry moodlet

    This is too similar to the fussy trait.

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you own toddler stuff, you can host a playdate. If you travel with your Sim, they can take another sim, such as a toddler with them to any lot.

    i'll try to answer everything in a neutral way

    now thinking back about it some toddler stuff can be added in basegame but not everything and watersliders won't have to be this big for both toddlers and for other lifestages

    for children and latter stages it can have the watersliders like The Sims 2 had since we don't have normal watersliders in The Sims 4 yet and for toddlers it can have smaller watersliders (normal watersliders should be in basegame which we don't have yet like they have added pools in basegame later)

    daycare in this case it can be optional like "Get To Work" careers and some other careers from other packs, i'm sure the team can figure things out and yes i'm aware we can create things from "businesses and hobbies" i tried them myself but won't it be more usefull if you can do daycare without having to stress out with your active sim the businesses get automatically closed if it goes to other lots? (i heard from others your business gets closed if you visit other lots or even other worlds if you own "businesses and hobbies" pack)

    besides i bet lots more items and activities get added in a toddler based pack, it won't hurt to add more things for toddlers like playgrounds for toddlers only to name one

    as for the toy store it won't hurt to have some kind of a shop which you can buy some toys for the toddlers without running a business from either "get to work" or "businesses and hobbies" it's kinda like saying "*you can run a library with businesses and hobbies pack*" if you ask me but library was a thing as a venue type since the very start so it wouldn't hurt to add some kind of a toy store without running a business (i want something similair to The Sims 2 you visit the venue type only to buy some items, it was a thing in The Sims 2 back then)

    as for the traits it may or may not be too similair but i want more toddler traits either way because we have so little options not everybody is the same, i just couldn't think up with other traits

    as for the playdate i've heard it's there and i'll try them out someday but for the basegame update it isn't just about toddlers, it's literally the whole household i was talking about, not just toddlers, more similair to The Sims 2 incase you haven't played that game, The Sims 2 had the option with the land phone to invite each of the household, i miss that to be honest

    as for "it should be in other packs or basegame" you can say that with most of the packs and maybe even kits so knowing EA they makes other packs that should be in an already existing packs

  • there is already a toddler stuff pack we need infant pack with pacifiers and strollers first
