[elaminator]

My Sims rarely have kids so the toddler thing won't effect me much if/when I play, but... I don't get why they're doing away with them either. It seems odd.

And no pools is sacrilege. (Even though I've never drowned my Sims or killed them in general like a lot of people do. I spend too much time making them and then get overtly attached.)

[inkdust]

I have to say I really love imagining "overtly attached."

[elaminator]

Haha, I feel like they're my bb's and it is my duty to make them happy and give them good lives!

As long as those lives are the ones I want for them. It's fun being a god.

[inkdust]

I treat mine the same way. I've never understood the people who like to torture them.

[diet_poison]

The reason they're "doing away" with it is...well...they're not. They're going to release toddlers AND pools in expansion packs, I'd bet money on it.

[elaminator]

Ah, alright; I didn't realize that. I... Guess that's better? It's better than not having them at all, though those are basic features that seem like they should be in the base game. I suppose EA could add those into the base game later, but knowing EA and their love for money you're right, it'll be included in an expansion.

[diet_poison]

Maybe I'm just being cynical...but I definitely think that's their reasoning for pools at least. Those cannot be that difficult to implement. (Can they?)

If it turns out that they really did leave it out just to make room for that much more awesome shit, I'll be a very happy camper indeed. XD

[rosefyre]

Pools, yes.

Toddlers? If they do, it's going to be broken, because adding in an entire lifestage that some games have and some games don't is NOT easy. In which case, it will require serious mods to play safely, and even then will likely be broken.

[diet_poison]

hmmmm. I hadn't thought of that; you're right. Unless they have the structure for it in there already, but that seems like way too much trouble for a moneygrab. IDK.

That just leaves me puzzled. Why leave out toddlers and then never include them...? Kinda makes me sad. But I'll deal. If they give babies a little more depth, then I'll be ok with it. (But I don't really want to go from "infant that's coded like an object --> schoolkid" in too short an amount of time, and I also don't like having long infant stages because infants are both boring and high-maintenance. Toddlers just feel like kind of an important part of the process you know?)

ETA: literally right after I left this page I went to Facebook for some end-of-day procrastinating and a video of a baby aging directly up to child came up on my news feed. It's just...weird. I don't like it at all. >:/

[rosefyre]

Yeah, exactly. Sims 2 managed to add in Young Adults, but they're never actually in the same house as the other ages, so it was doable. Toddlers...would be added in.

And yeah, with babies being basically objects (it looks like you can only interact with them directly in front of the crib, which, dude...) and then aging directly to children, it's missing way too much.

[ellensmithee]

I think they do have the base game programmed to allow certain features to be added later in the add-ons. Back when Sims 3 came out, people were looking at the base code and getting all pissed off because it was obviously set up for weather to be added and they felt like they were being cheated.

[diet_poison]

yeahhh. not really surprising there...

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus Christ. Might as well be taking everything away for Sims 5 then, the main game being Sim Creator, following expansion packs Build a House, Backyard Barbeque, Baby Shower, Jobs and Hobbies...
I'm exaggerating but I've been on the Sims train since day one and it's gotten really insane with the money milking.

[diet_poison]

Maybe I wouldn't mind if they did it that way, as long as the different packs were all cheap. Maybe then we could all decide what exactly is important enough for us to put in...gah.

Nah, they should just show more respect for their fanbase...

[(Anonymous)]

You know they'll all be super expensive. :/

[diet_poison]

yeah...
