}}
'''Toddler''' is the second [[life stage]] available in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It is the youngest life stage that the player can create in [[Create
==The Sims 2==
Line 41:
Like babies, toddlers can be removed by a social worker if certain [[motive]]s are allowed to drop critically low, or if they become too hot or too cold.{{Vgversion|TS2:S}} Other than that, as of ''Apartment Life'', there is no other way to take them off the lot without cheats. With ''FreeTime'', the [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] [[aspiration benefit]] '''Plead with Social Worker''' can prevent a toddler from being taken away by the social worker.

Line 65:
*Toddlers will splash in toilets autonomously. A good way to prevent puddles is to leave the toddler on a floor without a bathroom, for example have the bathroom upstairs and the toddler downstairs. If the house only has one floor, the best way is to place them in their crib or highchair. The player can also cancel the action before they go into the bathroom to splash in the toilet. When a sim mops the puddle, toddlers will keep trying to splash.

*If one toddler has a bottle and another hungry toddler is nearby, they will
*Using the "MaxMotives" cheat will also raise the toddler's motives to maximum. This cheat can be used an unlimited amount of times. By doing this, the other sims can focus more on teaching them how to walk and talk rather than on their own needs. However, using this cheat refills the Bladder motive, which means that it will hinder potty training. To counter this, use the "''boolProp testingcheatsenabled true''" cheat and spawn the Sim Modder. Use it to drop the toddler's bladder motive, then potty train the toddler.
*If [[Lifetime Aspiration]] is present, toddlers in gold or platinum gain lifetime aspiration points very quickly compared to other life stages. If a toddler's aspiration bar can be kept high, it may be worthwhile to let the toddler stage run its full course, in order to take advantage of this.
Line 89:
As in the previous game, toddlers can be picked up and held by any Sim aged teen and over, and must be carried in order to get up and down staircases and into their cribs. While an older Sim is carrying a toddler, they can still perform most normal social interactions, such as talking to people or watching television. Toddlers can also be placed in vehicles and brought to community lots, though they are unable to enter many [[rabbit hole]] buildings. If more toddlers than the amount of older Sims are traveling to a lot, some toddlers will be left behind since they have to be carried.
Toddlers in ''The Sims 3'' will begin to cry if they are hungry, tired, lonely, or need their diaper changed
Toddlers have fewer interactions than they had in ''The Sims 2''. Most significantly, they can no longer ask older Sims for food or attention. They can, however, still play with certain [[toy]]s (available individually in Buy Mode) through which they can learn skills. These skills will not be visible in the toddler's Skills Journal until it ages up into a child and performs an action related to the skill (e.g., if the toddler reaches level one in logic, the skill won't appear in the skill journal until it begins playing chess, using the telescope or reading a logic book). Older Sims also have the option to read to toddlers, provided that they have purchased children's books from the [[bookstore]]. Reading different children's books to a toddler can help develop the logic, painting and writing skills. Toddlers can play in the playpen (a special Premium Content available only in [[Aurora Skies]]) and earn logic and charisma skills. They can also teach themselves to talk by interacting with a mirror in the playpen. By using the walker Premium Content, toddlers can also learn to walk by themselves. The table below demonstrates more specifically how each skill can be developed:
Line 134:
Once again, toddler marks the first life stage in which Sims can wear clothes, although their outfit categories are limited to Everyday, Sleepwear, and Formal. If ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, toddlers will also have an [[Outerwear]] category.
In ''The Sims 3'', for toddlers to age up well and allow the player to choose a new trait for the child stage, the toddler must always be potty trained and taught to walk and talk. This differs from toddlers in ''The Sims 2,'' who only need to be in gold or platinum aspiration at the end of the toddler stage in order to age up well. If not aged up well, a random trait (usually negative) will be assigned.
Things that toddlers can do that lower life stages can't:

{{vgversion2|The Sims 3: Supernatural}}
In ''Supernatural'', players can create [[fairy]] toddlers in Create-A-Sim. Players can also obtain a fairy toddler by producing an offspring when one or both of the parents are fairies. They carry some of the abilities of the grown-up fairies, such as using fairy bungalows or castles, which help players to care of the toddler easily. They also have fairy wings, but other than that, they do not possess other abilities of the grown-up fairies.

[[File:TS4 Babies.jpg|thumb|250px|Promotional render of toddlers in ''The Sims 4''.<ref group="n">The render appears to depict the Sims on the [[:File:TS4 official boxart.png|box art]] as they were when they were toddlers.</ref>]]Toddlers were not included in the initial release of ''[[The Sims 4]]''.<ref>[http://www.thesims.com/news/neighborhoods-weird-moments-and-more Neighborhoods, Weird Moments and More] on [[TheSims.com]]</ref> However, they were added to the game about two years later via the [[The Sims 4/Patch 46|January 12, 2017 patch]]. Unlike ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', toddlers in ''The Sims 4'' stand by default. Also, unlike earlier games in which they either could or couldn't walk, they can walk even with low movement skill, though they will stumble. As in the earlier games, toddlers cannot be left at home alone without a Sim aged teen or older being present. Toddlers cannot live alone without a nanny, babysitter, butler or an older playable Sim being present on the lot.
Toddlers can only experience a limited number of emotions. They can either be happy, playful, energized, sad, or angry, but they cannot feel dazed, embarrassed, uncomfortable, confident, focused, flirty, tense, bored, scared or inspired. Toddlers also have unique [[Trait (The Sims 4)|traits]] that are not available for older Sims. The [[fussy]] trait allows them to cause mischief and throw tantrums. The [[clingy]] trait causes toddlers to have separation anxiety and to become shy around new Sims. [[Angelic]] toddlers can also talk to other Sims. A toddler that is sad may cry, which will cause older Sims to become tense. Sims will become uncomfortable if they are near a toddler with a stinky diaper.
Toddlers progress to the next life stage, [[Child]], in 7 days.
Toddlers in ''The Sims 4'' appear to be taller than in previous games. Similar to ''[[The Sims FreePlay]]'', toddlers can climb small stairs without the help of older Sims. Unlike earlier games, toddlers now sleep in beds instead of cribs. As in ''The Sims 3'', they can eat regular food, although it does not need to be prepared in a food processor. Toddlers have [[Toddler skills#The Sims 4|unique skills]], namely communication, movement, thinking, imagination, and potty. These skills can be acquired by performing various actions, engaging with objects and the world around them, as well as getting help from a caregiver. Toddlers can be added to a household in the same ways that they could be added in earlier games:▼
