Group Activities: New and Current ones?
My apologies if there is a thread somewhere already on this topic, but I couldn't find a recent one, and I've been wondering about it lately, so I thought I would post myself on this issue. Although ...

The lack of group activities (especially for the non-YA life stages) really kills the game for me. I want to see more of younger sims and families interacting together.
Toddlers can't do anything together except talk to each other, hug, and use a dollhouse (and even then, they're just playing by them self with another toddler just standing new to them). I'd like to see toddlers actually able to grab some toys and play together, interact, look at each other. Show that they are acknowledging the other toddler's existence. In the kiddie pool, let the toddlers splash each other, and have the parents interact with everyone, not just the toddler they are holding. I'd like to see similar stuff for the ball pit and big jungle gym. We need more than just a dollhouse (especially for boys). Let the toddlers play with toy cars, action figures, or stuff animals together or something. Small things like that would add so much more to these interactions.
Kids achieve some of that with the park equipment, but I'd like to see more for it that can be done in the house. Hand games, games like tag, more playing with toys and actually interacting.
Of course elders need more unique activities in general; like knitting, bingo, crosswords, etc. Hopefully if they ever get an update, they'll get new activities which they can do together.
