Taking Toddlers to Community Lots

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

I've not tried it, but could I? If so, does the adult then have to
carry them around? If not, could a single parent leave the toddler
alone while they go - because ya know... time freezes in the house
while they're out...

I was just picturing how cute it would be if you could get a pushchair
and take your toddlers to a park for a little fresh air... my toddlers
just stay inside until their birthdays... :-(

There are a couple of neat outside things for toddlers at MTS2. One is a
sandpile and the other is a wading pool. Both of them use the splashing
animation. But at least you can take the kidlets outside for some sun while
mommy takes a quick lap in the pool and daddy is grilling hotdogs. <g>

Put a carpet square down on the lawn. Toddlers will play with toys on a
carpet.

Baby sling would also be good to let Sims get off their lots.

Oh, I've put toys directly on the lawn and they'll play with
them there, too. But I love the sandpile mentioned in a post
above. They're so cute sitting there "playing" in the sand.
And there's not much Sim toddlers do that I refer to as "cute" <g>

I cannot stand when they get into the toilet, it drives me bonkers! I
have to keep an eye on them when they are being potty trained because
when they're done the idiotic parent just stands there and lets them do
it! Oh, and I can't stand the way they rock back and forth like a
mental patient, I don't know any toddlers that do that. I get the
parents to teach them what they need to know and then I use the painting
that lets you age them, it's less aggravating.

I don't like it either. I use the flamingos to keep the needs up, and
then just sell all the toilets.

No toilets to play in = no bad toddlers.

Sell the dirty toilets instead of emptying them.

I sell the potty rather than empty it, the adults are so annoying when
emptying it that it's just easier to sell it and buy another one. I've
also taken to putting the potty in the child's room rather than the
bathroom, that way they can't go right for the toilet afterwards.

Again, MTS2 has hacks for both of these problems. There's a hack that stops
them playing in the adult toilet and a potty chair hack that never needs
emptying. Once you install the hack, it should affect every potty chair
already in use, but if it doesn't, just sell it and buy a new one and it
will be bottomless. <g>

Having toddlers playing in the toilet doesn't bother me that much in the
game. What seems odd is that their hygiene level doesn't go down when they
do it.

On the grass?? The only time I tried that I couldn;t select the toys so I
never tried again. 8(((

I don't think you can. The game asks you who is going to babysit or if you
want to hire a nanny.

It amuses me the telescope during daylight. Ignoring the fact that
astronomical telescopes 'usually' turn the viewed object upsideown....
I love the way the Sims scan the area and home in on a bush 'Ooooh! Bush!'
Then a garden chair 'Ahh! Chair!'
Or, those wonderful times when they spot a face, and go all excited and
furtive, covering up to eyepiece and saying 'Cor! Wow! Oh... my!'

That's the time the owner of the face comes round to have a fight.
Try moving the nosy sim out on the lawn, quickly, then building a fence
round him before the annoyed Sim turns up. Telling them to go for a swim is
good as well. Annoyed Sim mooching about looking for a fight then goes home
in disgust

It's not just elder sims who get ticked at being spied on. Now that
Mortimer Goth is dead in Pleasantville, it's usuallu John Burb who comes
rushing in to slap the piss out of the nosy parker. LOL The only thing
that bothers me about that whole scenario is that the slapped sim (or their
housemates) doesn't get the option to fight back. All they can do is stand
there and weep. The housemates don't even get an option to console them.

This once happened to my sims who were about to get married. She
had taken the time to spy on old Vidcund "Victim" Curious before
the bells tolled. She hurried to the altar, where beloved was
already waiting... Animation starts, game zooms in on the happy
couple exchanging rings. On the background Vidcund can be seen,
impatiently waiting for them to please hurry it up, he had to
smack someone in the face. But they left for honeymoon. Vidcund
exits stage right. Didn't even smash the cake.

Snigger.... 8))))

Vidcund went a-visiting just now. Nice new mummy with a toddler and child
and how did he greet her? Flung a water balloon at her head.
Mummy cried, and turned to Nervous - who gave her a buzzy-hand.
Mummy cried. Said hello to Bella, then decided to give Vidcund another go.
Another hand buzzer while nervous hooted in the background.
Mummy went mad and threw them both off her lot.

BUM! Should have edited them a bit before letting them lose on my gently
brought up darlings.

Whomever thought of the sim pranks ought to be tied to an electrified
chair and have water balloons lobbed at them all day. I hate them.

YES! YES! <Calm down, granny>
Probably people who think the Three Stooges are funny.

Roll on the hack to edit out those merry pranks.

I've seen this happen a time or two--they shake the bars until
the side of the crib comes down. Doesn't happen often, though.

More anon re: Vidcund. That man is strange.
I wanted a particular series of snapshots and when Circe wanted to 'spy'
through the telescope thought 'whoopie!'
Up she went, homed in on Vidcund and did a lot of giggling and pulling
faces.
I held a view of the front of the house waiting for Vidcund to come
galloping up and yes, yes... No. Arrival of visitors eager to see who had
moved into the Beaker Bunker.
While Circe was strolling downstairs up rushed Vidcund, frothing at the
mouth; threw a paddy at the door because he couldn;t get past; elbowed one
guy out of the way and plunged into the house.

I was there, waiting in camera view, my finger poised over the 'P' key.
Along came Circe. Up stormed Vidcund.
'Tee-hee. hello, Circe,' simpered the bottle-blonde pest and 'Nish-nash'
said he and turned round and went back home, his face covered in a big grin.

I was furious.

Granny.

Yeah, but, Vidcund has a crush on Circe courtesy of Maxis. Maybe this
affects reactions, like

I spy a spy, let's go see who's perving on me! Oh, gee wiz, the girl I'm hot
for wants to ogle me, yay!

Yeah, I gathered that, but I was still furious. Now I have to wait for
someone else.
Besides Vidcund has just met Brandi broke who moved into my Simpson
furnished house after a sudden windfall from a rich uncle she forgot she
had.

Brandi likes the look of Vidcund.
Brandi needs glasses.

Also, I think we should take a close look at General Buzz.
Brandi's son, Beau is the spitting image of the Grunt brat.
Perhaps he is a bigamist? That would be interesting. Edit her relationship
files so that she is his spouse and hates him? Or loves him... whatever.
Got to bring those two boys together, anyway. I will think about this. Easy
to father one child and not know about it, but THREE, and one a teenager??
Oh yes. I have a feeling general grunt is suddenly going to become the head
of a rather larger household than he expected.

Granny - plotting.

I also put mine in the garden out front near the gate, then any Sim walking
by is a possible meal. I don't know if kids can be cow fodder, but they can
feed it.
