Uh, guys, this doesn't sound promising:

I'm feeling so disappointed right now. :(
At this point I am beyond disappointed. I am shaking with anger. This means a lot to us and instead of coming along and placating us-even just giving a tiny glimmer of hope for better they continue to ignore us. Its ridiculous.
I'm pretty upset too and considering OFB is one of the most asked for EP's of all time, it's going to sell like hotcakes and part of me wants to cry considering that we might have to kiss our toddlers/family play goodbye. I never thought I wouldn't be a simmer. Since 2000, the first month TS1 came out, I have been a simmer and I thought I'd be a simmer till I was an old person, but I'm shocked that I may be quitting the series this iteration. I never thought I'd say that.
If a family EP isn't at least 2nd, I am boycotting all EP's and sticking to TS1, TS2 & TS3. I'm getting angry about this too, but all we can do is sit and watch. I really wish the devs would throw us a freaking bone here. We're all going crazy over here.
What I'd like to see is toddlers (and family trees) patched in for free, with basic interactions, clothing and objects...then a family EP that would expand toddler play and also add more options for other age groups. That would be the fairest way to handle it, and reassure the community that the toddler delay wasn't just a money grab but really was a lack of time to implement them properly. I'd rather wait a little longer for fully developed toddlers than just get something that's mish-mashed together in order to shut people up.
I'm still meh on an OFB pack, but if it brings more crafting options so my slacker Sim baby daddy can make money since he can't hold a regular job for long (as long as you can sell the crafted items without having to own/manage a store) as well as open restaurants so my Sims have a proper date destination, I'll be okay with it and hope that toddlers and more family play options are on the horizon. (Oh, and kids better be able to go out to eat with their parents/other adults -- biggest disappointment of the Sims 3 Bistro set is that kids couldn't eat out.)
