I have noticed some frustrating issues with the toddler blocks-and-drawing table. It overrides every other action that is queued--including potty training! Actually, that is a greater issue overall now...previously my queuing "potty train xxx" would make the toddler stop what he/she was doing. Not anymore, but the table is the worst stompinator. I have to x out the toddler action and wait until the action has completely finished (icon has disappeared) before I can direct the adult to potty train.
This is a serious (and well tested) issue in my game, for I too have fallen victim to the twins plague. Five for five strains the bounds of even EAxian sadorandomness. I'm wondering if the probability has been changed in the code, so that EA could show off the new, shiny toddler-to-toddler social interactions. Can anyone check? Where would I look?

My toddlers often focus on the building blocks to the exclusion of the drawing. I can cancel 5-6 times, tell it to do drawing as many times and it's still got building queued. The tables have been cleaned, I make the toddler do something else in between, still they won't draw. Not all toddlers, just some. I haven't noticed if there's any particular personality or hobby bent.

I have two sets of twins on different lots.......one of each prefers drawing to blocks, and the other two prefer the blocks. One set just grew up and the girl who preferred drawing and charisma activities loves cooking and food related stuff already. The boy who did the blocks and (ohh it's late..can't think right now) the old beat on the peg game skill, hasn't come up with a hobby determination yet that I noticed.
Just came to me logic? :P
After reading back a few more pages, her cooking must be inherited from her mother?

I have not had the stompination effect with the blocks/drawing table, but it does advertise heavily, and takes a long time to cancel. My toddlers all run for it, across the house if necessary, avoiding any other toys they might have. The table is like sandcastle building - takes a long time to end the activity to start something like "learn to talk", so that by the time the toddler puts the damn blocks away, the parent has decided to go watch the waves or play SSX or something else, cancelling the "teach to talk" action. The toddler then immediately goes back to the table. Mind you, my toddlers all seem to be high in mechanical and creativity skills now.

I had one toddler of a set of twins who preferred the charisma bunny toy over the table, but otherwise, yes, they all seem to run for it. I'm routinely aging toddlers to children with creativity or mechanical scores of 8. :o It skills much faster than the other toys.
