Toddler

Toddler is the second life stage in The Sims 2, and it lasts for 4 days. It is the youngest life stage that can be created in Create-A-Sim. All toddlers have the grow up aspiration and can start earning aspiration points, although they won't be available to redeem them until they are teens.

When a baby turns into a toddler, most of it's genetic traits become visible for the first time, it's personality and interests are visible and it is controllable. Toddlers require the most attention of any life stage given their lack of independence, and ideally need to be taught 3 core skills: Walking, talking and potty training. Once potty trained, a toddler will be able to use the potty for itself, but they still depend on adults to put them to bed, and feed them. Toddlers can gain skill points in charisma, creativity and logic from their toys.

Like babies, toddlers can be removed by a social worker if certain motives are allowed to drop critically low. Other than that, as of the Open For Business Expansion Pack, there is no other way to take them off the lot.

After 4 days, the toddler becomes a child.
