They are listening. Otherwise SimGuruRachel wouldn't have posted that excuse about leaving stuff out to focus on the foundation. They had originally stated that *all* life stages would be in the game, so they were working on them before. I understand the frustration of them being mum, but they always go mum during the development stage. I doubt EA could have ever made it this far as a company if they would miss something as obvious as there are a ton of simmers who want toddler-inclusive family-oriented play.
I'm not so nervous about toddlers not returning. I'm more anxious about the baby stage that already exists. I hope that they update bassinet monsters to make them more like TS2 babies but improve upon them so that sims don't drop them on the floor every other second. Unfortunately, I don't think the babies will improve, so let's hope the toddlers will make up for the failed TS1 in 2014 baby life stage.
