Unfortunately the world looks like again like the same size, suburbian-style neighbourhood with the lots in the middle of empty space which i surrounded by the fake houses. Even the functional houses look worse in my opinion.

That is how it is going to be until Sims 4 is discontinued as you can't build your own neighborhoods or lots and must depend on EA graces to give it's customers what they really want. They do know how to give unusable space and artwork.

I so love the idea of a Brave Mother fighting Greg while having her baby on her back. I think she would win because it's two against Greg. Also, it would be so cool for her to fight Vlad & the Motherplant with her Baby. :D ;) :p

Well if nothing else she should be able to go to the jungles with the baby
swimming with mermaids would also be cool, and riding aquazips and going boating
exploring the tunnels going to space and so forth

I really hope they don't restrict usage of nooboo backpack that would break my heart

also I kind of wonder what happens if say mom is hit by asteroid while in nooboo backpack

I didn't care much about this pack before, but reading and thinking about all the ridiculous things a sim could possibly do while having a baby strapped to their back is making it more and more interesting. Do you think we can put toddlers in the nooboo backpack, too?

I haven't seen a toddler swing yet. I hope there's one in the pack. I hope the slide for kids can be separated from the tree house too.

This tree house is much too big. It would fit only in very big lots. Only for rich Sims?

Maybe they can live in the treehouse. Then we could put it on smaller lots also. Anyway, I would have liken an even bigger one, spanning several trees and with rope bridges between them. Maybe we will get some big trees so we could build them ourselves.

Looks like a great pack in concept to me,
but my concern is the ability of them to make a pack and have the features actually work, or not be so annoying that you want to turn them off, or mod them out. The longer this game goes on, the worse it seems to get.

Did anyone else feel a little skeptical about the major focus on Infants? Yes I'm excited for infants but I'm still not fully clear on what infants do any how the EP adds to infants...
My concern is that if you take away the infants from the EP what do you have? A lot of....stuff? I feel that the Parenthood GP rode off a lot of the hype that toddlers brung and now the novelty wore off from Toddlers Parenthood really doesn't bring anything impactful other than some neat stuff.
Also like others have said...how does this stuff work with character traits and sentiments? Have they factored these things in or is this going to be an overblown messy AI?

I agree. This feels like a paid update for Parenthood. I guess if it wasn't for whatever the new world offers and the new system this should have been a GP. For me it feels like a GP. They are just unlocking some existing interactions for children and adding some new gameplay.

If you remove all scenes with infants in them because they will be a base game update and also remove the scenes when they use the same feature again (like the slumber party and the small table to play board games on) then the trailer becomes very short.

Several of the features are also kinda related to travel, (power walking, bike for kids and the infant carrier), in a game where travel doesn't have a lot of meaning... and a lot of the scenes in the trailer are in the same neighborhood, you can tell because of the bridge in the background.

This! :( Traveling in TS4 is such a pain that I don't do it often unless I was making my sim go on vacation for a few days. If a lot of the gameplay involves going to a diff lot, that seems worrying for the core at-home gameplay. I'm hoping that either another trailer and/or the March livestream gives us way more details.

omg yes, a cute swing with the leg holes to secure toddlers in :,) I worry that most of the gameplay for this EP is for infants lol

I saw nothing exciting about the world and I think I will resent the room that it takes up on my computer. I want more offgrid and occult space to build and I doubt that we are getting that.

I don't care about babies. Toddlers are enough headache for me if I decide I want that in the future, but for now, I don't use them.

I would like the sleeping bags, though. I am interested in anything for offgrid gameplay. Maybe the treehouse can be expanded into offgrid gameplay?
