Naturally, Sim Babies will grow up to be Toddlers before ‘aging up’ to Child. Additionally, you can adopt Toddlers and add them to your household. Toddlers can also be made when starting a new family in CAS, unlike babies, which are made with Woohoo. This lets you make your little one as cute as you would like them to be, and give them toddler-exclusive clothes, traits, and hair styles. Remember, if you adopt a toddler, you can click them with an adult selected to change their outfit using the ‘Toddler Care’ menu. Toddlers have outfits of all kinds, as you would expect. The cas.fulleditmode cheat can even be used to change the look of your Toddler. Just don’t mess with their traits, as that can be buggy. Sure the descriptions of these needs make them seem very easy to care for, however Toddlers have other plans for you. They will eat up Sims’ time by throwing their food away, getting enraged and crying, all of that. It’s pretty realistic. Getting them through a full meal is tough, but raising skills improves their behavior so that they stop doing these things so much. Making the Toddler smart is a rewarding endeavor especially when the parent Sims are short on time. This will give the family the chance to design their own schedule to a certain degree. It also means the child will be much more physically present in the household than before. As a result, the player will get the chance to enjoy playing with the young Sim’s character more. In order to age up your Toddler to child manually, use a grown up to bake a cake and click it to add candles for $10. When you click a cake while the Sim is holding the Toddler, the option to ‘Have X Blow Out Candles’ will appear - make sure to pick the option specifically with the child’s name or you’d age up the adult. Depending upon how you’ve done at leveling up the Toddler skills, you may get one of the following traits, along with some skill experience in an equivalent child skill.

And doing this will result in you maxing out your toddler skills in no time. As you may have guessed, the toddler skills in The Sims 4 are Communication, Imagination, Movement, Thinking, and Potty. Each of these has 5 levels of progression, and they all require different activities and interactions. Let’s see what you can do at each level of each skill. In The Sims 3, toddlers and children can learn up to three skill points in a skill by using certain toys.
