Random baby/toddler questions

I found out that if a toddler gets too low on several motives, like being tired and hungry and low on social at the same time, it's very difficult for the adult to interact with them at all.
Rainbow,
I don't play with free will off, except when the Sims are cooking ~wink~, but I wonder if free will off would be helpful in 'the critical hour' or if this even applies to the toddler interactions. Maxian logic I suppose would exclude toddlers from the effects of free will off at their point of no return - afterall they have to be typical toddlers at all times don't they?
ZephyrZodiac:
I couldn't say, as I always play with free will on, I like to see what my sims will get up to when left to themselves! I don't find the toddlers that different from any other age group in that left to themselves they choose the nearest fun thing, or the potty if they really need it! I mean, the only time I've ever seen a sim choose to use exercise equipment is when they visit the college Gym!

Yes, I also play with free-will on for this reason - I like to see what happens. Going back, I played the Caliente Sisters while they were still in their original Condo together. They were on the roof talking, when I saw Mortimer arrive at the portal. He went straight upstairs and Dina arose from her lounge chair as if expecting a kiss. With Mortimer drawing ever closer to her, which was convincing to both Dina, Nina and myself, he reached out his hand for what I am sure Dina thought would be a caress, then proceeded to slap the tar out of her - it was pure magic.

In this case I was playing with free will off, using the baby controller and Power Idle to manage the sims. She had no time for fun except for an occasional flamingo kicking. Poor thing, she often wondered why she wanted so many babies! She kept telling herself it would be okay if she could just get through this toddler stage...

I've used Inge's reservable cribs which you can set to allow the kid to let themselves out, but this doesn't work with the baby controller.
This was one of the sadest days of my life - the day that JM premiered his shiny, new baby controller and I found that it was incompatible with Inge's cribs. We talked it over and I flat out told the Sims they had to make a choice; I didn't pull any punches. They took down the eye, sighed as they bid farewell, and returned to their lives with Inge's cribs.
