Would you want an expansion focused on kids and toddlers?

Maybe. I wouldn't want teens left out, but I also want teens to have more childish stuff to do as well so it wouldn't really have to stray that much. Then again, babies + children only seems fairly limited of a scope for an EP. Especially since there is a GP focused on parenthood... Childhood GP? I could actually see that.

I don't know. I'm open. I have to see how they run with it.

I wouldn't mind it. I'm upset that babies, toddlers and kids don't have much to do. I'm tired of drawing tables for the kids; I don't even like the afterschool activities of drama or scout club. I really skip my kids forward to teens so much can get them ready for university.

Most definitely I would but it would also have to include babies because they are desperately in need of improvement.

That would be my dream pack!

Nah. Not interested. I think something like that could be spread out in other packs.

I'd only be interested in an expansion pack with those things for toddlers and kids if it also had more stuff for teens and elders. And since we've already had a parenthood pack as well as a kids stuff and toddler stuff pack, there isn't enough left to do for toddlers and kids alone that hasn't already been done. That said, I do hope if we do get an all generations pack that includes kids and toddlers, that we get all the stuff you listed, except maybe the imaginary friends. They creeped me out in S3.

I wouldn't mind more stuff for them to do but tbh I really would like them to pay some attention to teens and elders. If there was to be an expansion I'd prefer it to be a Generations type of one which takes all life-stages into consideration.

Teens lack identity for me in TS4, they just feel like watered down young adults who have to go to school. Yes, they are improved with Parenthood and still have the character values, but at this point they are basically all maxed out anyways unless you deliberately "sabotage" them (like I did lol, I don't want everyone to be responsible and good-mannered). Phases were a good idea but seems like they basically do nothing (except giving them random moodlets in true TS4 fashion) unless I directly command them to. Like "Rebellious" phase, I never felt like my teen was any more rebellious than before, still autonomously doing homework, even extra credit, and hugging their parents left and right. I do appreciate though that, unlike elders, they actually have some unique interactions (even though some of them just pretend to be while actually just being the same ol' animations with different text flavor) but I'd like more teen-specific activities to add some uniqueness.

Elders too could do with a bit more love. Now it's like the only thing making them stand out is that they look old, have new idle animations and can get the "dangerously tired" moodlet or whatever it's called. It could be cool if they could gain/purchase unique traits or something depending on how they have lived their life. Maybe they could be "hired" to babysit their grandchildren (happens all the time IRL) though I guess that wouldn't be unique to elders since younger life stages can have grandchildren too. Maybe add some elder-specific interactions too.

We have one - Parenthood - and I play it extensively.

What we have never seen, that I think would be a challenge to do well, is a special focus on Elders. Make that last life stage really count.

Parenthood didn't really add much activities for kids and toddlers... it only focused on parenting and character values

I think there is still room for an early stage school pack and I have also thought that they could do a pack about friendship.

Yes, but I don't want babies to be freed. I want them to stay as they are, objects. I'm not interested of giving them any more attention. I always wait impatiently for babies to age into toddlers anyway.
I'd like as many new things to do for toddlers and children as possible. I don't even care so much for what those things are, as long as they can do more. Strollers for toddlers are one thing I want, though. I want my Sims to be able to take their toddlers with them when they go somewhere and be able to give them snacks and/or a sippy cup while they're sitting in a stroller.
