Where are the toddlers?

Don’t get me wrong I love my toddlers too. I like creating single moms with young children. In all honesty though, I wouldn’t see a point in putting babies/infants in Create A Sim considering all babies look alike in every sims game. It wouldn’t be creating a sim then, it’d be putting a baby into a family then just clicking check. Toddlers may still be under construction and they just haven’t added a slot yet. Who knows.

Personally I’d love to create a pregnant sim; choose how far along they are. I think I’d rather have that over having toddlers in create a sim. 🙂

I think it borders on the whole “creating” the sim aspect of Create A Sim. Since there’s not really much you can do creation-wise with a baby and a toddler in CAS they decided to sack them entirely and put them in-game where you could have/adopt them.

I’d also like to throw in my two cents. Some are saying that the teens look rather “tall”. P.S. I know that this may be a bad way to point it out. In the May the 4th Be With You render the Luke Skywalker sim is most likely a teen. He looks substantially smaller than the young adult and adult sims. The R2-D2 sim looks about the same size as the children we’ve seen in here in the genetics clip. I know that it is a render, but it’s something.

Graham’s in game child son was pretty small and skinny and to go from a small child to a hearty teenage sim would probably show some differences.

What it takes out is the ability to make a full family. It’s not how we can make a toddler look, its the ability to, say, make a mom with a small child.
Anyway, the easiest way to make toddlers was to make an older sim then age them down. Then you knew what features you were working with.
I wanted infants in CAS, not because I think there is a whole lot of creation you can do, but because I want to be able to create the starting family I want.
In fact, being able to make your sims pregnant would be awesome but that might be pushing it.

Well, hopefully they learned their lesson and are going back to a fuller version of the toddler, like in Sims 2. All I know is, if they want my money, kids better be able to build skills again, and not just the one or two they were able to in Sims 3. They had best be able to play the piano again …

They all looked the same in Sims 3, perhaps, but we have no idea what they’ll look like in Sims 4, so, no, it’s not true.

Also can I say thank you for finally giving the heavy set sims some respect clothing wise. It seems from what little observation I can give that the clothes seem to adjust to their weight. Which is really nice ^_^!
