Your experiences with toddlers.

They are the best toddlers so far, but im not a family player so they stress me out. I had to take a break from my family with toddlers.

I don't have the Parent pack yet or the toddler pack either so I don't benefit from the added features these pack give.

Of the toddlers I have atm, only one has been a problem so far. The Benali kid (I think that is the name of the couple that comes with the city pack and the wife is already pregnant), when I grew her up from a baby I chose the wild trait. I then immediatly moved the family to a bigger apartment (because no way was their original apartment big enough for three) in the Arts Quarters, where I immediatly lost the brat because she decided to wander.

Wander! I have no idea where she went and I could NOT find her (even by clicking on her face) but somehow I got her back. Well. She toddled back, pleased as a punch while I was...yeah never mind.

That incident should have told me I was in for a ride. She is a wandering, tandrum filled, never keeps her clothes on little brat and oh my god do the parents have to clean the high chair soooo often. They are also the only parents that autonomously scold their toddler or lecture because; bad behaviour! I've been so lucky!

The other few traits I have tried; charmer, silly and clingy, and they are a breeze. Well, so far. The clingy one can be a little tricky but I solved it by creating a little play corner in the painting studio and in the diningroom. Those aer areas where a parent is most likely to be. That way no more issue about being left alone.

I have a difficult toddler in one of my households at the moment. She is a twin, her brother is fine, but this little girl wakes up every night. She never wakes her mum or dad (or even her teen brother), but instead prefers to wake her teen big sister.

The problem is this makes the big sister incredibly angry being woken night after night, so she is stomping around while putting her little sister back to bed, lol. She is still usually angry and moody when she wakes up in the morning. This family situation is a bit volatile at the moment, but it's so much fun to play them. :D

I love all your experiences with toddlers.

@joleaco - I agree, it is fun to play with them when they are acting up!
@Stina1701A - I've had a few wanderers!!

I was never a family player and for me it was honestly no big deal that toddlers where missing in the base game. Also in real life im not a huge toddler / childrens fan ;).
But I agree, the toddlers in the Sims 4 are the best so far. I think I became fan of toddlers now (at least in the Sims :D). At the moment I have just 1 toddler, she is absolutely adorable. I play with againg off to spend lot of time with her.
I am looking forward to my first Vampire baby soon :).

I'm a family player so I really enjoy everything about them and how different each one is. I haven't got bored of them yet and I love how challenging they are.

I love the tots, in my legacy the firstborn couldn't be the heir because he was such a crybaby that he got on my nerves, MY NERVES and I usually don't let little gaming things get to me but he was child possessed I didn't even teach him and his sister everything I just aged them up into kids. His sister was a sweet angel and now she's raising two families with men that hate each other how time flies...all her tots are good a couple of them make messes and try to run away from their fathers but generally, they're pretty good.

My favorite trait is silly but I love all of them, even clingy. I made a clingy mommas boy for a single mom a while back and it rang pretty true, sweet but a wee sad.

I usually pick fussy toddlers just to try to throw more chaos into the household. You haven’t seen fussy though until you’ve run a household of 7 identical fussy toddlers, lol. I set up a challenge for it and it’s chaos set to max, haha. Here’s the original challenge and results: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/913707/the-fussy-septuplet-toddler-challenge/p1 and the post-Parenthood GP version and results: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/925619/the-new-fussy-septuplet-challenge

And then there was Jamey:






From sun up to sun down, he was a bit of a menace. He cried initially when his younger brother (the blond) was born. But he likes him now. :)
