This video is heavily focused on Infants, I decided to keep it basic and that lead to cutting lots of details from Toddlers to not make this super long, so this isn't a fair comparison per say. But just to see how people are feeling about them; Thumbs Up For:

Sims 4 infants and toddlers are peak cuteness, but I'll never get over grouchy Sims 2 toddlers beating their stuffed toys like they owe them money.

I've never played sims 2, but I love how realistic the kids are. They honestly act like real kids.

The occult toddlers in Sims 3 had some cool things. The werewolf ones would howl and I believe destroy things. The vampire ones would bite the teddy on the neck while playing.

In sims 4, if the energy bar is too low, infant sims will pass out by lying down on their back and immediately going to sleep without trying to go night night.

infants in sims 4 are way too cute and so wholesome 😩😩

Not to be a Debbie-Downer, but if only Sims 4 had put the toddlers in at launch and/or introduced infants sooner, most of those milestones could have been in Parenthood. I would have paid extra. I don't understand why a 20-year-old multi-billion-dollar franchise has to skimp on the details for its loyal paying customers.

I think there used to be a feature in the Sims 2 where if you had an older sim toss the toddler in the air, right after feeding them, the toddler would throw up on them mid-air.

infants are one of those sims update, that everyone or almost everyone agrees its great.

If Supernatural is installed and you have a werewolf, vampire or witch for a toddler. That toddler can sometimes manifest their powers, such as biting a teddy bear if they're a vampire, howling if they are a werewolf and making toys disappear and reappear if they are a witch.

In Sims3 I really appreciate that kids can give a bottle to the toddlers and play with them, it's helpfull, it gives more free time to the parents ! I also love the children's park in the Sims3 because they can learn how to speak, they progress in logic and make friends with other toddler if you put them together in it ! So usefull ! I might buy the pack for infants in the Sims4 because without it, they're a bit ennoying !

Love the infant stage! It makes sense to have an “in-between” life stage, since it would be weird to go straight from a newborn baby to a toddler.

I wanted to mention since I don't think I saw this at all, in Sims 3 older sims can again read toddlers the toddler books and those also will contribute to different skills after they age up, a couple of them is the painting and writing skill! I can't quite remember what the other related skills are though

The Sims 2 babies and toddlers will always be my favourite, I don’t know why, I just love them and their doofy little style and movements lol.

21:04 the way the dog looked at the camera 😂

For me the infants in Sims 4 are the cutest littles Sims ever. I can’t stop planning with them. But I really miss Sims 2.

Lol too bad you didn't mention Sims 2 toddlers eating from pet bowls and sleeping in pet beds (which they can do without adult assistance), I was waiting for it. 😂 Sims 4 infants are so cute though, first time I'm hearing about them. 🥰

Sims 2 toddlers seem the most fun, but the new Sims 4 infants makes me like playing a lot more. They feel like real babies that have to grow up and i can't wait for my Infant to age up.. (because she's annoying lmao)

Infants is the cutest thing ts4 team ever made

Oh my god this channel uploading RIGHT during my nostalgia trip I missed you bro

Im playing sims 3 right now and i miss how cute the infant stage is in sims 4. Thats definitely something the sims 4 has over the other sims games

Your left out a lot of stuff from sims 3. Sims can give toddlers any food in the highchair, you just need a blender and they can eat the adult food. Also toddlers can ride on the spring riders as well. And there is a changing table in sims 3 as well its in the store.

Sims 2 Toddlers are still have the most fun. They are chaotic no doubt but fun nonetheless.

Sims 4 Toddlers from what I observed and made an analysis is that they st so cute, accurate and realistic

Whoever did the sounds for infants will get credit!

I got the parenting packs to spice up my future generational play but it‘s kinda crazy to see how detailed the childhood stages are from infant to child. I mean to some extent it‘s sad that it had to be a expansion. But it‘s also nice to see the detail. For all the valid criticisms. The childhood development seems genuinely done really well especially in these packs wich kinda surprises me.

in my words that may get mixed feelings, i'm pretty sure the sims 4 toddlers are more accurate since they are like real toddlers while the sims 2 and sims 3 versions are more like infants. and yet again, the babies in the sims 4 being renamed newborns and getting a new look and having new sounds pretty much improved them overall.

Nice video. The younger life stage in every Sims game always seem to be the most fulfilling. Infants definitely brought a lot for a fulfilling life stage. Baby/Newborn's don't do too much in being a very limited lifestage across all games. Infants kinda fulfills that spot in wanting more from them. They're very much different from toddlers. Ppl can say what they want in that this should have been here at the beginning and etc, but it is what it is and you can't change it and it is a great addition that makes for more fulfilling family play.

The security belts are for keeping the child in place when you need to go grab something or a diaper bag as they can get quite wiggly, last thing you want is your kid rolling off and injuring itself, possibly causing death

I love the fact that ts4 added a couple special interactions between pets and infants. I do hope, whenever the next gen of sims comes out, we get pets that eat the food the messy kiddos throw off of the high chair and throw around in general. Cuz anyone who's lived in a home with both a dog & and toddler knows that this interaction is inevitable lol.

i play sims 2,3, amd 4- never got a chance to actually play sims 1. i love all of them and I can't say i have a favorite but- some interactions with the toddlers from 2 and 3 could've been added with toddlers AND infants. like the way you could tickle them, the teach to walk with infants, and etc. i really loved the small details and interactions with the sims 2 and 3 toddlers, even though they are more like babies/infants. i feel like if the sims 4 wasn't so rushed and released maybe worked on a bit more, adding toddlers or infants at launch, it won't get so much hate by others. however, im not complaining. i love the sims 4. i could play sims 2, 3, and 4 for hours till morning. im just hoping in the future, they'll add more interactions for toddlers and infants. (they probably wont but im really hoping) i also wish kids could pick up the infants and toddlers. like maybe holding them in their laps on the couch would be so cute.. 🥺🥺

sims 2 toddlers could also interact with pets, aswell as sleep in their beds and eat their food

I had no idea the infants got lifted by a cloud holy shit that’s adorable. I always played with them straight from CAS

You didn't mention the toddler books in Sims 3! They contribute to skills when they get older and if your toddler sim has been read at least one, they can read all the others themselves if you put it on the floor in front of them and click on it. Use to do that with ALL my toddlers. Max their skills as much as possible before they aged up. Wish Sims 4 toddler books actually did literally ANYTHING.

That image of the little Sims 3 toddler girl peeking out at us from the toy box is straight out of a horror movie XD I haven't had much opportunity to do anything with Sims 4 infants at present (my current family has no children, just a dog, three cats, some chickens, and a cow), but they do look cute, and I think they're a good addition to the game. :) Even if you get the most out of them if you have Growing Together.

No matter which stage you think is better you can't deny they will always be the cutest things ever especially with pets

you can tell how much the sims team really needed to make up for sims 4's disappointment in the toddler department, they really went all out with infants and it shows. it's just too bad that effort came so late into the game's lifespan and isn't present in so many other areas.

the hiccups are adorable 😭😭😭

6:34 melted my heart ❤

Well, infants in Sims 4 are basically toddlers with some pre-toddler features, but it's sad that for most of those you need Growing Together. Don't get me wrong, Growing Together is great EP, probably the best for Sims 4 and I definitely recommend it. But I feel that some features from them, like better growing interactions for infants, milestones, quirks, carriers, or changing tables should be in base game. Without Growing Tohether, infants are like toddlers in previous games, especially in Sims 3, where toddlers were already trimmed down significantly from Sims 2. Still infants in Sims 4 are much closer to toddlers than Sims 4 toddlers. Those are more like preschoolers with some toddlers features. But calling them toddlers, when they don't even toddle... well, that's not the brightest idea Maxis ever had. My winner is still Sims 2 toddlers. They are the most realistic and most fun take on toddlers/infants Sims ever took. Sims 4 infants with Growing together are, however, close secong. Without Groeing Together, however, they would be far beyond Sims 3 and 4 toddlers, because they are just THAT boring. But, of course, that's just my opinion.

In TS3 there's also that creepy doll that looks like voodoo wich infants can talk and sing to

The Sims 2 animations remain my favorite (so many details!) but I'm surprised at how much I genuinely enjoy the milestones with infants. My sim ended up having four babies just because I was having so much fun with them.

Loved getting to see the toddler with toddler hugs - so many of us could use a hug like that

Oooo I was waiting for this! Thanks so much for the great informative videos! I missed you :3

15:30 the way it looked at me 😳😨

Omg they’re all literally so cute!!! I can’t really decide which ones are the best cuz there just all so freaking adorable- 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰

You forgot toddlers can be changed on the changi g table too and ts3 got a changing table in the StOrE

The toddler yeeting the plate at 9:26 😂😂😂

Thanks again for another great video❣One interaction that you seemingly missed (I think even with the earlier comparison videos), was the Sims 2 toddler interactions of begging sims on lot for attention; it is one of my favorites, because it allows toddlers to build relationships unique to other life stages, as well as the other mainline Sim installments. My critiques toward (my opinion) favored rating: While, this is meant as no fault to the Sims Community (which is awesome, in my opinion), Sims 4's barebones base game, hides most of its predecessors developmental stages behind paywalls, only patching in bread crumbs to the base, unlike Sims 2 & 3 (which the core values were never hidden behind paywalls; i.e. personality traits, transitional stages, etc.). I do not know if it is just me, but I think Sims 4 infants are just a glorified early toddler stage (that one has to buy multiple packs, to even begin to compare to what was patched into the base games of 2 & 3), that EA decided to cash in on later, what do you think? Is it just me, or do infants in Sims 4 appear older than infants? Sadly, I could not vote for Sims 4 infants, because, again, it is merely the early toddler stage, which still is mostly hidden behind a paywall. And I am with you Sims 2 & 3 are definitely the exceptions, "I pick 2 above 3 any day." My overall order still stands: 2-3-1-4 (and 4 just keeps falling further and further behind). I will continue to play Sims 1, 2, 3, Medieval, Castaways, along with most of the older spinoffs, while Sims 4 continues to just sit there with my complete lack of attention, due to boredom (I think Sims 4 might have actually killed the series), meanwhile I eagerly await Life by You and Paralives to eradicate my yearning for hoping for an above subpar Sims 5.

I love the infants & toddlers in Sims 4 but also, in Sims 2 ♥

I love your sims series videos they are amazing

And again, TS2 toddlers are srsly the most bestest and cutest looking kid i've seen in my whole entire life ever!! ❤❤😍😍🤣😭😭

1:10 Say “ Thank God “ they have are hell in baby’s body and depletion of fun need is the biggest proof of what I say

I found a cc bed for Sims 2 where the toddler puts themselves to bed love it .

At least they don't throw their newborn in the "air" like the sims 2 in the late game😅

Taking a minute to appreciate that toddlers came with the Sims 2 and Sims 3 base at launch not 3 years after it.

Really like TS4 infants and toddlers! It's sad when they do these kind of things so well, because it's stuck in a game like The Sims 4 🫠 . Next you could do about activities like painting and writing!

i think immersive gameplay-wise, ts4 wins hands down. but as far as personal preference, i like ts3 WAY better. ive never been a fan of how needy babies/toddlers (and now infants ugh) can be, usually aging them up quickly. but the game punishes you for that (bad traits, bad upbringing), and ts3’s store items for the toddlers strengthen their skills SUPER quickly. there’s a walker that wasnt in this video-they literally learn to walk in an in-game hour with that thing. its a godsend.

I love that the imaginary friend would be in the crib with the toddler in sims 3 ❤😂

Winner: Sims 4, even though I believe they should have added this sooner with the Parenthood pack. But I just loved the Sims 4 toddlers and toys.

Have you done a video comparing the different occult baby (+infant from Sims 4) lifestage(s)? In particular, I'd be very interested to see the evolution of the alien baby (+infant) lifestage(s) across the games.

I love your sims videos it’s amazing 90/10 it’s my childhood

Sims 4 infants are soo cute:)

And no mention of the vampire kids that like to bite there toys in the sims 3

Finally a new vid

Bro sims 2 and 3 toddlers were absolute menaces still get flashbacks

They should've made it so toddlers can sleep in the toybox if they are really tired, but it would make them uncomfortable over time.

Ah I was just wondering when you would do an updated infant video!

❤❤😊😊 i adopted a infant in sims 4 and its wholesome and cuuuute!

Hear me out …. (No hate towards ANY opinion) I am not a sims newbie I have been playing this game since Sims 1. It’s not that I disagree with the whole 40$ for this and thaaat, it should be in the base game statements towards a lot of packs. Indeed some things are basics and I also think it should be just there. But as a game design student, A Sims lover and just as a human with an opinion I want to defend them a little. As a game design student I can tell you you can say “It should be just in the base game” On ALMOST” every pack in Sims 4….3,2 and 1. These packs exist not only for money but also for keeping the game alive and relevant for a long time. Pricing depends on a lot of stuff. Paying 40 dollars once in a few months is obviously your own choice (I am by no means saying everyone have the money whilst they do deserve and maybe want to enjoy the pack) but listen it’s just like I wanna play a game and I can’t buy it on steam so I can’t go and blame the Developers for making it cost money. I can promise you as game designers we don’t always just think of robbing you of money (PS. People need salaries lol) …I swear. Some of the prices of packs are definitely questionable 😅 and some should be free (in my opinion these would be seasons, parenthood, high school years and growing together) As just me I’d like to say that SOME people are very very hateful on anything EA does with sims today and always say that it’s a a sh***y game and look at sims 2 and 3 and on and on. Listen ofc sims 4 may be lacking but 1. They had some issues if I am not wrong with the game at launch 2. Sims 4 can also be better than other parts sometimes and 3. If you really hate EVERY pack they release like some seem to - go play sims 2 rlly no offense. I will go back and say that yes I agree with most opinions - Sims 4 does disappoint in a lot of places (For me timeline/storyline of sims 4which doesn’t exist almost, hit me the hardest) , Yes EA’s choices are stupid sometimes, Yes I also go down on them sometimes myself - But overall I think some people are just finding it fun to hate on EA and Sims 4 in every aspect and by the end of the day I am opening my Sims 4 again and pretty much having fun. I bet some of you do too….) Love y’all and please remember I didn’t mean to offend anyone with my opinion 😮😁

I feel it was a bit unfair to use the Sims 4 infants as they are with the Growing Together dlc - if you compared the base game infants to Sims 2 and 3 toddlers, you would see the older games had a lot more going for them (and in the base game to boot). Also, in Sims 3 toddlers who had been taught how to talk could talk to other toddlers and build relationships while playing at the blocks table and the dollhouse; haven't played with a toddler in Sims 2, but it wouldn't surprise me if they could do it there too. And you missed out on the play peek-a-boo interaction between children and toddlers in Sims 3, which is adorable (and again, builds relationships)! Thanks for another great vs video - I appreciate the amount of effort you put into these! :D

Good video ❤

19:20, Toddlers Can Do That? Kick Older Sims In The Knee? I didn't Know That!

Ok I’m suffering from cuteness overload right now. The toddlers and infants are cute period

Wait uh what I havent been playing sims in a while and THEY CHANGD HOW BABIES LOOK IN S4!?

I know it has nothing to do with the video, but it's my first time playing the sims 2 on the pc, a curiosity that caught my attention, was when the sims receive a call, if you live with more than one sim in a house , the caller sometimes asks if that sim can talk, then the sim who answered, calls him to answer the phone, he also walks and gestures on the phone lol

This is too cute for me 🫠🤗

I'm surprised you managed to get good footage with the amount of crying infants do lol

I was playing with the Infant update around when it came out and was thinking about how they're sort of similar to Sims 3 toddlers, where Sims 4 toddlers are a bit older and can do more stuff by themselves. Also, are the milestones only in the Growing Together expansion? I don't think I had access to those with my 3 DLC packs (the free Holiday Stuff, the Kit that was free for a while before the basegane went free to play, and the one I paid for being Werewolves). I kinda wanna get it but... honestly, I can't really justify spending money on it when I find most of the gameplay in what I already have boring, even though I want to like it. Just can't seem to get into it no matter what I try, and if I'm feeling like that with the basegame and one pack that I paid for... Would spending more money really make it worthwhile? If I really need to buy most of the packs just to make the gameplay engaging, then it's probably not worth my money...

Fun fact : in the sims 2 , toddlers can sleep in pet house and eat pet food

Am I the only one who's just looking at how hot Anne is in the sims 4? I'm so weird

Since i have the Sims 4 when I aged up my baby it went straight to the dresser to play in it for some reason! But seriously their so cute.

why do sims 4 sims have to do everything with a smile and ~a little giggle~ like cmon

What’s pretty weird is that infants are burped in the sims 4, but not newborns. Newborns are twice as likely to have more gas and air in their tummies after feeding than the infants in real life

I feel like the design for ‘infants’ is weird, because they look like toddlers but do all the things infants would do. Maybe less hair (since most infants don’t have hair) and softer clothing options (like onesies and stuff) would’ve made more sense? Idk the infants just look like toddlers to me and in my brain infant = baby

I had no idea ts2 toddlers could steal bottle lmaooo

Welcome back to UKposts!

Sims 2 toddlers can also go and sleep on pets' beds on their own if i'm not mistaken

Eu acho que as pessoas deveriam para de reclamar um pouco sobre The Sims 4. Ok, os bebês demoraram para chegar e não vieram para o jogo base, mas graças a essa demora por eles não terem trago, eles fizeram um trabalho mais que perfeito! Para mim esses novos bebês são sim um dos melhores, eu gostava de jogar Ts2 pelo realismo e os detalhes que haviam naquela franquia, e os bebês eram uma delas, porém agora no Ts4 há muitas e muitas coisas caprichosas que foram adicionadas no jogo... E foram feitas com muito carinho assim como fizeram na época do Ts2. E olhe que agora temos bebês para o jogo base também no Ts4 e além de uma infinidade de conteúdos com a nova expansão e junto com as outras também!! Então SE a EA demora para trazer um conteúdo que poderia ter trago lá no começo do jogo, foi para que num futuro próximo eles fizeram com muito amor e carinho o trabalho que está trazendo para o hoje. E se as vezes uma expansão, coleção de objeto, ou kit não for útil para alguns jogadores, há uma outra parte de jogadores que são gratos e apreciam aquele trabalho. Então, parem de colocar um "porém" ou um "mas" em TUDO que a EA trás para o jogo, veja pelo lado bom de alguma coisa pelo menos... Tem solução para tudo.

THE POOR BEAR 😭😭😭😭 also I babysit an infant sometimes and she's so smart and cute she learned to clap super early and scream her lungs out but overall om happy to babysit her

nice toddler: *cuddles rabbit cutely grouchy toddler: *Smashes it aggressivly against the floor*

The blow raspberry is also for children too btw!!!

The winner to me is TS4. The infant and toddler stage are more fleshed out. Also, the interaction between infants and pets is adorable.

idk if the sims 2 or the sims 4 won but i can definitely say the sims 3 lost. bottles appearing out of nowhere, no diapers when you change them, no baby changing table, etc. The sims 3 is my favorite game to this day and i pretty much only play 3... but when it comes to infants/toddlers, 3 definitely lost

Infants are wholesome, but they messed up not giving much parenting interactions, so it's just "Go to sleep" and "Eat that" and right after becoming toddlers.

The toddlers in TS3 are so cute! My two sims have a daughter named Elizabeth. She is a toddler at the moment, and I have already had one of the parents teach her how to talk and potty train her. The only thing I really have to teach her is how to walk, so she can move past the crawling and bobble around on her own two feet. Her mom is unemployed at the moment so she can tend to all of her baby girl's needs, which comes in handy because sometimes the toddler will fall while they're walking and they'll start crying. I make sure to take care of whatever it is that they are crying about (hungry, dirty diaper, etc.) to avoid a nasty run-in with the social worker.

9:26 well that's one less thing to wash in the dishwasher.

From what I saw here I prefer the sims 4 as they are now (I think!) If only none of it was behind a pack or anything. I am not sure which I would prefer to play because I haven't played a family with toddlers on sims 4 recently. When I did in the past they were just OK but the rest of the gameplay was not interesting.

Can you do the difference about gym and body size in all of the sims?

TS4 infants are really adorable , yet the other stuff in the pack kinda sucks mostly, especially changing tables which weren't added in the base game
