Ridiculous 'follow' obsession
Sagana:
I think FT did increase it. If you let them follow, and sit around next to their parents (which is all they do usually when they get there), the toddlers gain enthusiasm for whatever the parents are doing (dunno if that includes woohoo or not). As enthusiasm is a FT thing, the extra following probably is too. I still enjoy watching my toddlers dance and you can't have that without freewill. I'm easily entertained however.
Zazazu:
I can click on a stereo and direct a toddler to dance. Not sure about instruments...I don't have many of them in play, and have just seen a toddler dance to a piano once or twice.

Honestly, I'm not seeing the point of giving toddlers free will at all, it's not like they have anything to DO. The alternative to skilling is to just sit there and do nothing. Or scream obnoxiously. That just makes me inclined to want to murder them.
Screaming toddlers. Wolves, who are more attracted to lots with young spawn. I can practically smell the "Dingo Ate My Baby" hack now.

There's the doll's house or the toy box for them to amuse themselves with. I really don't mind if they don't get 8 skillpoints in creativity, mechanical, charisma and/or logic as toddlers. In fact I prefer it if they don't.
I used the baby controller for a few years in my game, and then had my simkids skilling away to get 9 or 10 scholarships. It makes for a boring game when every sim is maxed out in skills, every sim graduates with 4.0 GPA, and every sim hits the top of their careers too easily (even with harder jobs).
I no longer supernuke my toddlers. Well, I do for as long as it takes to potty train them, then I force an error on them to remove the smartmilk effect.
I give them a reasonably well-equipped nursery with doll's house, toy box and a range of skilling toys, and I let them have free will. Once they've passed the toddler stage they only skill if they want to earn a skillpoint, want to get a promotion and the skillpoint is required, or if they autonomously do a skilling activity.

Can't you just lot debugger them to make them stupid?
Alexx:
"Follow"obsession seems not only toddlers related problem.Attracted sim sometimes or mainly even more stupid animals than toddler.For examle "4 zits attraction"is most annoying thing that I ever seen in game.
