NO TODDLERS IN THE SIMS 4

A new article on The Sims official website reveals that the final life stages in TS4 are: babies, children, teens, young adults, adults and elders.

I can deal without Create a Style. I can deal without pools. I can deal without an open world. The game looked good enough that the new features still outweighed what was removed from previous generations. However, this news is honestly quite shocking.

I don’t know how I’m still surprised when EA does something disappointing…I just thought that toddlers were so important and basic that it was completely unrealistic to assume they wouldn’t be in the game. Clearly, I was wrong.

Graham Nardone tweeted, “Babies and Toddlers were not combined. We know they’re distinctly different and didn’t want to shoehorn them in.” Toddlers were in The Sims 2, which came out a decade ago. There is no excuse for this. The studio must be extraordinarily screwed up for them to leave out staples of The Sims series like pools and toddlers. This might be the last straw for me.

I don’t know if I’ll even bother purchasing The Sims 4, but I do know one thing: I will never underestimate EA’s capacity for mediocrity again.
