SimGuruGraham has taken to Twitter to answer questions on the upcoming Sims 4 Toddler Stuff Pack. We will update this post as more info becomes available.
The new Toddler Stuff objects (slide, ball pit, tunnels, jungle gym) are just for toddlers. Adults can help toddlers play on some of them. https://t.co/aZOf2VLwSd

Toddlers can already sit on the ground and eat; older Sims will continue to use chairs. The carpet is a new rug that's coming with the pack. https://t.co/jO9M5MH9E2
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Not always. Bowling Night released on a Wednesday. Other Stuff Packs have had longer times from announce to release as well.

The wagon in Toddler Stuff is a cooler, similar to the ones from #TheSims4 Outdoor Retreat, with drinks and snacks. https://t.co/GPMS0Ji57a
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The pirate shipwreck is one of the things toddlers can see when using their imagination to play make believe in Toddler Stuff 🙂🏴☠️ https://t.co/pCRqPq4x11
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Two toddlers can play in the new ball pit simultaneously. https://t.co/FxAXEHt1OJ
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Only toddlers, yes.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddler Play Dates are a new social event that's started via the phone, yes. https://t.co/gnhCUichM8
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Sims socializing while holding toddlers is something they're already able to do, yes 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
No new foods in Toddler Stuff. The cooler comes with the same drinks/snacks that it has in Outdoor Retreat. https://t.co/sQUzfxdfPy
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes! It isn't shown in the trailer, but the slide, ball pit, and tunnels can all be placed independently of each other. https://t.co/NjCnt6AQm1
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't change anything regarding club functionality in Toddler Stuff; they remain for child and older Sims.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddler Play Dates are a new event where invited toddlers & their caregiver will show up at your home or at a park, for fun & socializing. https://t.co/UUnT3GgISN
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
It's a cooler, that you can get drinks and snacks from.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes, Toddler Play Dates can be hosted on your own home lot, or at a park of your choosing.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't include any new lot traits in Toddler Stuff. https://t.co/Ywa2qoFVWc
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddlers' new interactions are with the playground objects, but there are some adorable interactions where caregivers help toddlers play. https://t.co/C8XM2wghrQ
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The wagon is a cooler, with drinks and snacks that you can grab. While Sims can sit on it, it can't be pulled around.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
No new toddler traits in this pack, it was more about giving the tots activities to do outdoors. https://t.co/k8tIZwEjxG
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We looked into doing picnics back during Romantic Garden Stuff, but determined it's something that'll have to come in a larger pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The wings and the cape are both tops that you can select for your toddler to wear within Create A Sim mode. https://t.co/877qcGk1Bg
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddlers can sit on the cooler, but they'll still need assistance from an older Sim to get food or drinks. https://t.co/W4NLVu8CKH
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
You can place each of the playground objects independently, or you can place the new jungle gym which includes all three of them together. https://t.co/TdiZhDZMlL
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
There isn't a new lot coming in this pack, so start thinking about modifying your parks. I especially like updating the one in Willow Creek. https://t.co/Ucz0LrR9oh
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The Toddler Play Date event is just for toddlers. Their caregivers will also attend, with goals specific to toddler play and socialization. https://t.co/vlUPuCVbBd
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
It's a single large rug – it already comes stacked like that. It's good for covering large play spaces. https://t.co/qtkAAKp2dX
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Swings just aren't something that we can do in a Stuff Pack; they'd have to come in one of the larger packs.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
From clothing to the objects, this pack is really focused around toddlers. Children will be able to use the new dollhouse & toybox though. https://t.co/aOjWzCoZK7
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes, you'll need to meet other toddlers around your Sims' world before being able to invite them over for a Toddler Play Date. https://t.co/rwdpAcv6SR
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
It sure is, it's a new social event that you can select from your Sims' phone.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The jungle gym is a single object that includes the slide, ball pit, and tunnels placed together in a smaller footprint. https://t.co/qlhHHtTCop
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't make any changes to the Outdoor Retreat tents as part of Toddler Stuff.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes, there will be a few new pre-made Styled Rooms for Toddler Stuff in the catalog that you can place to help you build. https://t.co/6BVuiedmnZ
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
There's a superhero top with a cape for toddlers in this pack! No bear outfit though, sorry 😉 https://t.co/zKF2lw0J5G
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Standard schedule. If you're interested in development, I'd suggest following our community SP project, where we chat in detail about this.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
You need to have met the toddler before, they're the ones you invite to the event. Once invited, their caregiver will come along as well. https://t.co/8X3M3kNAv4
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddler Play Dates can be held at your own home lot, or in the standard Park lot. There is not a new lot type in Toddler Stuff. https://t.co/7lqLzkAzs0
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Sure. The stack of pillows works like any other living chair. https://t.co/R63OCvWBCh
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
No new toddler beds. We focused on objects that would make sense around outdoor activities for toddlers at your home or in the park. https://t.co/B6sbJW2s3Q
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
There aren't any plans to do that.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff, you got it. Straight forward to let people know exactly what to expect if they're interested in the pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
There's the bumblebee top with the wings on the back, and new toddler shoes that include a black/yellow striped bumblebee color variant. https://t.co/MU9LAinzz0
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
You can't sabotage any of the playground objects, no. https://t.co/srXnBCHECk
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Toddlers play in the Ball Pit. Using the playground objects raises movement skill, fun, and relationship if other toddlers are also playing. https://t.co/cS6yE33Mri
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Adults can help toddlers climb the slide, as well as help catch them. They'll also play pretend on the jungle gym, and play as a monster. https://t.co/tIE1nRIyWv
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
The imagination effects, like the pirate shipwreck, can be seen by toddlers and children. https://t.co/jmgTWnqWIF
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
You can always fence them in if you like; there's a new fence and gate coming with the pack 😉 https://t.co/ALfGmM1Hk8
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
If you're using the Make Believe interactions, it does raise the toddler's imagination skill, yes. https://t.co/9isq8yDekE
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes, there's a new portable BBQ grill included in Toddler Stuff, so you can cook up some food while the toddlers are playing. https://t.co/KOmKi2LQcF
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Perhaps, but not via a Stuff Pack. We looked into them for Kids Room Stuff and determined they'd need to be in a larger pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
I know that we won't make them in a Stuff Pack. I can't speculate as to the future plans of the Game and Expansion Pack teams.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't make any changes to the kids' jungle gyms in this pack.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
No new radio stations this time around. https://t.co/ByP5z7RCJF
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Good eye, it is a dollhouse! It comes with a cute new chipmunk doll, and both toddlers and children can play with it. https://t.co/TELf8GLVUA
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't change how toddlers are generated. You'll still need to have other households raising toddlers to meet for play dates. https://t.co/Koa3Ew8gt3
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
They function similarly, yes. Be sure to press the F5 key for quarter tile placement in Build Mode, to allow them to connect diagonally. https://t.co/cxHDTtBlrj
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
We didn't update the ways that toddlers appear. The play date event is there so that you can have a fun gathering of toddlers at the park. https://t.co/fvoOwIp1EA
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yup, the director style chairs are new and come with Toddler Stuff. https://t.co/XCgtBPx7Tx
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
All of the clothing and hairstyles in Toddler Stuff are for toddlers. It's really a pack for people who want more options for that age. https://t.co/Fm8SS7Y12A
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Hah no, but it is entirely possible that they pause to soil their diaper while playing inside it. https://t.co/CFX03OdGXK
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
It's a great idea, for sure. With toddlers being part of base game now, we can continue to add to that age beyond this pack as well.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yes, you can invite toddlers that you've met, and their caregiver will automatically attend as well.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
You can bring your Sim children along to the park while the play date event is occurring, but they won't be part of the event itself.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
No new highchairs. The objects in the pack are focused around toddler outdoor activities in the backyard or park.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 15, 2017
Yup! You can probably spot a few others in the trailer and screenshots. https://t.co/TqtI2hKFQj
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
Yup, that's new clutter decor coming with Toddler Stuff. https://t.co/6AdtU7zVir
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
It can be dragged around or placed in your Sims inventory without entering Build Mode, like other grills.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
As long as they're a member of the same household it should be fine.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
The playground objects will be for toddler play only, although adults can join in and help them play.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
Children can use their own jungle gyms from base game, but they won't interact with these new playground objects for toddlers.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
We didn't make any changes to the way toddlers are generated in Toddler Stuff.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
The wagon is a cooler, which you can live drag with the cursor outside of Build Mode. Sims will not pull it around themselves.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
The utensils are a new clutter item coming with Toddler Stuff.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
Every piece of clothing, accessories, and hairstyles in Toddler Stuff is for toddlers. https://t.co/xUP83tXfVE
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
They're new decor objects that you can scatter around and build in various configurations. They look great in kid/toddler parks! https://t.co/SArFUCGofL
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
Slide = 3×1, Ball Pit = 3×4, Tunnels = 6×7, Jungle Gym (which is all three of the previous objects put together as one) = 9×7 https://t.co/UlSDGk7B12
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) August 16, 2017
