Hmmm...
Again, I think you guys are still missing my point.
Yes, I want the parental care functions. But NOT at the expense of baby and tioddler sims not being their own people. The bottom line is I don't want to "leave a toddler alone to amuse themselves"... They're not a piece of furniture or chattel that I have to check up on periodically. They're not one of those practice units handed out in home economics. They're not an accessory to pander to my childhood mom-dad fantasies. No, babies and toddlers are sims in their own right. They are a member of my sim family that deserves worthwhile gameplay time. They should have working goals, fears, wishes, etc. I should WANT to interact with them. More importantly, I should have fun playing AS them. The whole " hassle" discussion would be moot were they implemented correctly. And as of now, they are not. Bear in mind I'm speaking solely of Sims 3. I don't play 4.
