I'm so glad that you gave it a try and are enjoying it. I pre-ordered it after reading up about it and then just a couple of days before release we were given the rather devastating news that toddlers would not be included upon release, after all. But, the wording was such, that is left the door open. The team just wanted more time on them, and since the game didn't start off to be a single-player game, once they changed direction, it was pretty late in the timeline. Well, they did drop in toddlers when they were finished although many were doubtful they would, or that we would have to purchase them via a pack. These are the very best toddlers, EVER, in the history of toddlers in this franchise. I also vowed I wouldn't spend another dime on Sims4, if I wasn't pleased with the Sims, themselves. There were many good things about Sims3, but the Sims themselves were sacrificed for other assets, sadly.
