I am super thrilled with the toddlers! These ones are so much better than in previous games. There is so much personality to them. And the fact that they can be independent and feed themselves and many other things makes them less of a nuisance. I took mine to the park and they reached up and grabbed hotdogs or burgers and fed themselves at the park bench. And they can hug each other or tell each other to go away. The range of emotions they give them is what makes the Sims such a great game. The devs did such a fantastic job with them. So far my toddlers have enriched my game and made it more fun and interesting. It could be that I love the toddler stage in real life too anyways. I miss my 5 year olds toddler stage. He's a mini whovian that wants to build his own tardis and travel that way!
