After quite the wait, toddlers are now in The Sims 4

That’s another one off the wishlist

The impossible has happened: toddlers are now in The Sims 4 by way of a free update.

I’m an on-again, off-again Sims player at best, so my reaction here is a general “Aww, that’s cute. Look at those lil outfits!” But the folks who are in for the long hall and have been waiting years for this moment? The ones who had reasonably given up hope? They’re freaking the hell out.

“We just had to find the right time, resources, and design to allow us to start the heavy process of actually building and bringing Toddlers to life,” wrote the developers. “And believe me when I say it has been really REALLY difficult to not talk about this as we worked to get it right.”

In our staff’s Slack today, word of toddlers in The Sims 4 prompted a quick but decidedly mood-turning mention of a video I had somehow never seen before called “Sims 2; Baby on the Grill.” It is precisely what it sounds like, and now I fear for my YouTube recommendations going forward.

In other Sims news, vampires are coming later this month. Time to recreate Vampire’s Kiss.
