It's been a minute since I played a toddler and thought I'd start a discussion thread similar to our Infants thread. We've gotten some new toddler features like milestones and quirks so please share what your toddlers have been up to.New toddler thread in General Discussion.Toddlers!

Toddler QuirksSims 4 toddler quirks from the Growing Together expansion are just one way the expansion pack aims to make each child in the family unique. No longer relegated to one single trait, toddlers now gain up to three additional personality quirks that further define the way they behave and interact with others. Two toddlers with the same CAS trait can act wildly different depending on which quirks they acquire. This makes raising children feel like a unique experience every time. Depending on your toddler’s quirks, you might find yourself having to change your parenting strategy to cater to each individual child’s needs.https://simscommunity.info/2023/05/05/sims-4-toddler-quirks/List of Toddler QuirksAggressiveAggressive toddlers like to roughhouse and are quick to hit, bite, or kick Sims (so long as they aren’t good friends). They don’t even have to be angry like other toddlers. Watch out! DestructiveThis toddler is often destructive. Uh oh! Toddlers with this Quirk often behave like little monsters who take pleasure in the chaos they leave behind in their wake. Early RiserThis toddler prefers to rise with the sun.

The main thing I’ve noticed with Destructive toddlers is that they LOVE destroying dollhouses. They often get upset at the broken dollhouse too. Yes child, actions have consequences!

@Lenny_Ogg, great screenshots and story.

@simgirl1010 , Faith looks cute. Funny that you are trying forLoves books and Good appetite while my toddler just got them today not long after aging up. I haven't discovered her third quirck yet. I'll have to sort some pictures and post some later (if I don't forget)

@Ellupelluellu, both are very cute.

@illusie from comments made I understand it's totally random. I've already used UI Cheats to remove one quirk. It was hates bedtime. It was shortly after the whole household was asleep and she decides it's time to get up. I was like, nah, this isn't good. :D Now I'm wondering if I'll get the option to replace that one.

Today is a big day. It's Brie's birthday. Several infants, toddlers and their parents were invited to the party.

Brie is now a toddler.

I lost her for a bit and found her eating cake behind the table. She has got the quirk Good appetite.

Her next quirck is Loves Books.

@illusie heh heh all you need is a mess of frosting all over that pretty dress and you'd have a very realistic "finding the lost toddler at the party" moment :)
@HomeMama Have you tried turning on have/adopt children for unplayed families in your Neighborhood Stories settings? I really like how it populates the game with new kids :)

Here are my twin toddlers Luna and Selene Banerjee, having fun with flashcards! Their parents are Mayank and Chandra, my first werewolf couple. Luna is in white and Selene in yellow. Luna is the Roman goddess of the moon and Selene is the Greek equivalent. Luna inherited the "Greater Wolf Blood" trait and Selene only the "Dormant Wolf" one, so she's not technically a werewolf. She'll have to swim in Lake Lunvik as a teen in order to activate her inner wolf. One of them has the Destructive quirk, although I've forgotten who, as I haven't played this save for a while.

If you have Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi, you can trigger an example exception whilst your toddler is selected. Under "Sim Info" in the exception report (which pops up on your internet browser), there's a traits section which mentions the quirks they have, even if they haven't popped up yet. So it does seem like the quirks are pre-chosen, before you actively discover them in-game.

Don't know if anyone already posted this or not but I forgot to share anyhow, not sure what I was expecting for the family kiss with a toddler but it is precious. I used this elsewhere but I just love it.
