Players can choose from two potty chairs to help train the toddlers improve their potty skills: the Practice Potty ($75) and the Monster Potty Partner ($125). Neither chair has an advantage over the other so choosing either will do the same thing. Both chairs need to be cleaned from time to time otherwise other Sims will get an uncomfortable moodlet whilst they are around it.

The Sims 4

Unlike other toddler skills in The Sims 4, the maximum level a toddler can attain in the potty skill is 3 and it has no corresponding child skill.

In level 1 and below, toddlers are unable to use the potty chair by themselves and will always need supervision of a teen Sim or older. The exception is if the toddler has an independent trait. If the toddler's potty skill and bladder motive are both low, the toddler will soil their diaper, which will relieve the bladder motive but causes a large drop in their hygiene motive makes others around the toddler Uncomfortable.

Players can choose from two potty chairs to help train the toddlers improve their potty skills: the Practice Potty ($75) and the Monster Potty Partner ($125). Neither chair has an advantage over the other so choosing either will do the same thing. Both chairs need to be cleaned from time to time otherwise other Sims will get an uncomfortable moodlet whilst they are around it.

As a toddler's potty skill level increases, they gain more abilities aimed to help them use the potty chair more effectively and confidently:

  • Level 2: the toddler can now use the potty chair unsupervised, however the toddler will not always automatically use the potty chair when their bladder motive is low. There is still a risk that the toddler may use their diapers instead causing a low hygiene motive and an uncomfortable motive on Sims around them. The player will more often than not need to direct the Toddler to the potty chair.
  • Level 3: the toddler is now more likely to automatically head for the potty chair whenever their bladder motives are low.
