Ugh. (Multiple) Toddler Wrangling. Help Please!

Have your toddler ask a parent for help eg adk for bath, potty or food rather than use the parents command wheel as I find the parents cancel much less often this way. Always keep toddlers on the ground floor (unless you play vampires) my vampire mother flies everywhere as a bat and can do it holding the toddler. It makes for instantaneous toddler transport around the lot and mother is less tired.

Use the special night light and keep parents bedroom door locked so their sleep isnt interrupted. Skill up potty skill asap so toddlers can take themselves.

Plus everything else above. Dont let them do any skill for too long without switching activity as then they get angry buffs.

Yay and thank you. This is good stuff. Congratulations @Cheekyimp. One of the other Sims in my rotation has just fallen for Johnny Zest. The three tots under discussion belong to Bob Pancakes and one of my Sims. Haven’t ever had a alien baby (though I think I prefer it that way for a while, lol).

@NRowe I think you ought to do the 7 toddler challenge rofl

I second this, it is very instructive. It is also the reason why I did a 7 toddler challenge, to get more experience.

Harvesting some fruit or even buying it is a help too. Chuck it into the toddler’s inventory then they will grab and eat it when they get hungry.

I'm playing a huge family, but I cheated this time. I gave my female sim the wealthy life time wish and then motherlode to finish it. I bought the hardly tired. Once instead of bothering my Sims when the toddler woke, I simply clicked the bed and had him take a nap. You can click nap several times

NPC help. Butlers and Nannies can be a huge help. Patchy from Seasons is good if you need some free help. Also helps leaving food out for toddlers to grab and independent trait can help a lot too.

The biggest one is dragging the food to an accessible place if they're really hungry, or to a place they can move to if they're less hungry and you want them to gain movement skill.

The only skill adults are required for is the first level of potty training. If you are content with not maxing out every toddler skill, the adults don't have to do so much.

The tablet can teach most skills and the toddlers never get mad or sad moodlets because of them. They will generally not stop using them autonomously unless their needs get really low. They don't learn skills as fast, but they stay still! If two of them use the tablet in the same room I believe they will talk to each other and gain communication skill, but that was a while ago so don't take my memory as absolute fact.

Reading them to sleep every time they go to sleep raises the imagination skill fairly well and they sleep better.

Controlling the toddlers is usually easier than having the parent control the toddler.

@NRowe Box them in, neglect them, and they should be whisked away to "safety" soon by Social Services. Problem solved.
