Toddler: Difference between revisions

Toddlers in ''The Sims 3'' will begin to cry if they are hungry, tired, lonely, or need their diaper changed. There is also a minor glitch in the game that can occasionally cause a toddler to cry even if all its motives are full, possibly because it wants to get out of the crib. The length of time a toddler will continue crying is influenced by how many low motives it has. Toddlers will usually stop crying quickly if they have only one low motive, and will usually entertain themselves temporarily before getting bored and crying again. However, if negative moodlets resulting from a toddler's low motives continue to stack up, the toddler will cry for longer before ceasing. If a toddler is running low on all four of its main motives (hunger, energy, social, and hygiene) at the same time, it will cry indefinitely and only stop to go to sleep (which will cause the energy meter to rise and automatically take care of one of the aforementioned motives). Toddlers will also burst into tears for a short time when candy is stolen from them by [[Evil (The Sims 3)|evil]] Sims. When a toddler is in its crib or high chair and needs something, it will scream and cry every few seconds, as it feels trapped. The scream sounds vaguely like the word "stupid". It's possible that this similarity is an intentional [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]]. Unlike in ''The Sims 2'', toddlers that have learned to walk cannot escape from cribs by themselves.
