Glitches?

@MsVerbalKint This is some great feedback! Thank you!

💡I never even noticed that the energy goes up faster with the high chairs than toddler beds - or that they can sleep in the high chair! I'm assuming this may be a nap rather than sleeping. You may then also find that they get more energy from a nap on a very comfortable chair or couch in the living room that has an energy level, if this is your goal. Personally I find with toddlers it for me it's somewhat like in RL... the sleeping/napping they do in their bed is a break for the tired parent. I don't really want it to end faster! 😂
But... it would be a lovely idea for a bed or two with a higher comfort &/or energy level for toddlers be added to the game for those who want this. 

🛏️ With the release of Tiny Living developers added an interaction that is somewhat of what you're asking for that you may not be aware of. Though a children's bed that is "uncomfortable for adults" will still give discomfort, you can now upgrade a couple of aspects of all beds to make them improved and make it more feasible to use a less expensive bed more 'helpfully'/comfortably with a sim. There are still benefits to certain beds that the upgrade will not match, but these beds are much nicer now if you have a handy sim upgrade them. 

💡It would be nice if upgrade options would also be possible for chairs, loveseats, and sofas, though, for the reasons you mentioned - for when a player prefers the style of a less expensive item, but would like to add comfort, energy, etc. to it. I like that idea!! 

I like your ideas and am giving this an 'XP' and 'Me Too'! 🤞🏻

Hi,

Thank you for your reply 🙂

I just noticed the update option for beds recently and thought that was a great idea. 

I think that the toddler beds should also have themes like for instance theres the car bed which is really cool but like theres a game on the tablet called simshape so a simshape themed bed or a mermaid bed would be pretty cool.

I think that for those handy sims the introduction of cars would be pretty neat as they could probably set up their own business as a mechanic 

I'm probably rambling on lol but the design aspect is something that I love, however I cannot make a decent garden to save my life haha

@MsVerbalKint I agree on the interest in a car fixing aspect. I think they could sell that as a pack and find a lot of interest. I completely understand that the open world thing is out as it bogged down Sims 3 too much. But...

If there could be the addition of a fade-in and fade-out car, like in Sims 2 and like how they leave the lot - but that lasted until a house/lot or half of one down the street, people would love that. It would be fun if we could have a bus, delivery cars, taxi, moving van, etc. with the animation. 🚕🚚🚌🚗🚙

A step further that maybe could even be added with a pack if need be is to make the ability to add a garage and driveway and the ability to buy a car  to use for work/travel. How fun would it be if we could work on the car in the garage to maintain, repair or upgrade it, and if our sim could get handiness skill points for this?! I think builders and players alike could go crazy with this and have a lot of fun! 🏎️🚗🚙

I must admit I was disappointed that no new beds came in the toddler stuff pack. It would be lovely to have one added to base game at some point - as you say, maybe with some fun new designs and some additional comfort, stress relief, or energy. 🤔

I totally agree!

I reckon my own PC wouldnt have the capabilities of the open car travel thing as I reckon it would be more demanding on the graphics card, and there would probably be lagging.

Can I ask do you have a mermaid sim? if so how do you handle the hydration need constantly depleting

@MsVerbalKint I do have mermaids but have not played them for any length of time recently. In my home with them I made sure that they had at least one tub, and mine also had an indoor pool and lived on the ocean shore. They do need to have regular time in the water or they will have issues with their scales and hydration. So, the most primary thing you should do is to make sure they have easy access to ways to hydrate plus to watch for not queueing the up for activity so much of the time that they don't have time to autonomously keep hydrated when the need goes down. 🧜‍♀️... Or also queue them up for hydration time.

LOL I didn’t notice you could put your toddler to sleep in the highchair either, much less notice the sleep rate differential...(!) I actually avoid using the high chair because interactions with it were problematic and slow. I may totally re-eval my opinion of this object now! Thx! 🙃

PS Waahaha! I just noticed your login @MsVerbalKint! I’m sooo Team Keyser Soze too! 😄

@suzushka 

@PugLove888 and I call it the 'evil highchair' 🔥😱. I only add it occasionally to a build for theme purposes anymore... and otherwise avoid it like the plague! 😇😂 
They've improved the high chair interactions recently, but I have PTSD from it and have alternative feeding methods that work just fine for me, so I'm happy.

I love the Usual Suspects its a really clever movie and not many people know who keyser is so I'm misunderstood haha

Getting back to the sims however,

The parenthood pack I find is really disappointing in general, toddlers are full of glitches which make the game annoying and means that you wind up using cheats most of the time. 

There should be a chair that can be small enough for toddler to sit at the table themselves and eat, I think this would really complement the Independent trait as the tots with that trait dont like relying on the parents.

I literally only buy the high chair for them to sleep in which I know sounds funny but its the only way that I can get them to gain skills without the use of cheats.

If you give a tot a plate sometimes you're lucky because he might put it on the table or the counter, other times he will run outside and put it on an outdoor table or run upstairs and its so annoying because you're not able to cancel the interaction and the plate doesn't appear in the inventory.

I'm wondering where would I need to post to contact a developer about this stuff? not sure if im in the right place but I just hope that if they see this they dont take away the energy level from the chair and leave us with nothing. I'd like if they could fix the beds and give us an upgrade option for them.

sorry, im ranting haha
