M routine: age them as fast as possible because they are annoying to play, but I like to see people playing with them

I tend to structure the kids lives so that they have time to work on skills and still have playtime. In my toddlers test family, the mom gets up around 7-8am. During this time she usually goes to the bathroom and bathes, if the toddler is still asleep when she's done she has some breakfast.The toddler gets up around 9:30, the mom changes her into her outfit for the day, makes her breakfast, and then makes sure she goes potty.After that she's free to play around the house (or run out the door and explore as she's done a couple times now).Around 4pm mom works with her on either flash cards or just general stuff, so she gets in some skill building.At 6:30 mom starts dinner, and once done she feeds the toddler. After dinner she gets her bath, and if she needs it uses the bathroom again. She is then free to play and socialize with the other household members while mom cleans up until 10, when she is read to sleep. Unless she has been a real brat that day, then she just gets put to bed without a story.In my main household however, the kids are heavily structured.They get up at 6:30, I check and see if they finished their homework from the night before, if not they finish it at this point and risk skipping breakfast.Once they go to school Mom tends to clean up the place. As soon as they get home from school they're marched to the kitchen table to do their homework.After homework and extra credit are done they take their baths and wash up for dinner. Dinner is usually on the table by 6:30-7. After dinner (depending on the day) they're either allowed to play or they're sent to the basement music room to practice their instruments of choice until bedtime.Weekends are a bit more lax, but I still expect the kids to work on skills. If all of their homework is done and I feel they have been productive that week they can hang out with friends (not to say they done during the week, but I don't tend to let them stay out the whole day on school days).

survive. there is no schedule. while the children sleep the parents get done as much as possible. i.e. cleanning the apartment as well as themselves; eating their meals, or skilling. because once the toddlers are awake, it's feeding, bathing, play, and skill time for them. i don't play according to a clock

Don't have time for a routine, sadly. When they need something, they need it immediately, so I can't just say "hmm, it's 10AM. I planned to feed the kid at 1PM. Let's wait a few hours."

Your toddlers/childrens routine!? ^-^

I only do morning routines for all my sims.
They wake up an hour before work, have a shower and eat some of yesterdays leftovers, go to work and then spend the afternoon doing whatever.
If they got small children I have the parents wake up an hour earlier to feed/potty/hug their little ones before work as well.

How? My sims take an hour sim Time to walk to the shower lol. 2 hours sim time to eat leftovers.

Well, my main sim is a good vampire with OCD who uses routine to manage his anxieties and thirst for plasma. His daughter's routine is consequently very structured. He's currently a stay-at-home husband and father to his clingy toddler and working towards becoming a super parent. It's a full time job, but thankfully he can afford to stay home while his partner earns. This means he has time to dedicate to her care and skills, while also being away from the temptation of plasma. They only have one toddler though, I can't imagine what it must be like with more, or for parents that both work. I've thought about them adopting a son, but think they might adopt a dog instead lol.

So, my vamp is usually an early riser, which gives him time to shower/bath and look after his needs before his daughter wakes and he takes her downstairs. He makes breakfast while she plays before the family chat and eat together. Once his partner goes off to work, he gives his toddler a bath before they spend some time working on her skills (playing with blocks, flash cards, potty training etc.) and playing together. They sometimes have a toddler play date with one of his neighbours, another stay-at-home parent who is a good friend of his. He gives her dinner in her high chair once she starts getting hungry again. Then at bedtime he takes her back upstairs, reads her to sleep and tucks her in. Once she's asleep this gives him time to clean the house / do the laundry etc. and play the piano, watch some TV classics or meditate before showering again and going to bed.

When both parents are home for the day, they also take their daughter to a toddler park sometimes if the weather's nice. Also my vamp will sometimes meetup with his fellow Avant Gardes or go to the spa with his neighbour friend - after all, stay-at-home parents need some time to themselves to look after their wellness too! I also like to make sure the parents put regular time aside to spend as a couple. I hope once their daughter is old enough to start school, my vamp can start a new career as well as a writer and buy a bookshop to sell his books.

I don't have any toddlers at the moment but from what I remember I would have them:
- Wake up at 8am
- Eat breakfast
- Fill basic needs (potty & shower)
- Do any fun stuff and learn skills
- Around 1pm-3pm is the start of nap time
- Dinner at around 6/7pm
- Sleep at 9pm

Sometimes they get waaaay off schedule because I forget to do certain things or I sometimes don't care enough LOL

babies and toddlers my routine is to age them up as fast as I can. train potty, talk and walk and say goodbye, but the kids, I love playing with the and a long life span, I do not have a routine except to remember to disable them from going to school. I have them do a lot of things, Seems like I can't play with the adults until the toddler ages up to child. Then the father can take them fishing, or go to the library with the mom, and go out to eat. Play in the park, or swim in the pool etc.

Oh god! I am so impressed with people who CAN schedule their Sims' times. As long as I can keep them alive and fed and the Sim version of child services away I am happy :tongue:
