How many Sims are you playing?

Winding all the way back to my first post....
::)
So, when I was growing up, my mother said to me, over and over..."You never finish anything you start!" I can't decide if the Sims is the best friend or worst enemy of someone with a completion disorder.
Even though I have a huge number of open plot lines in the main 'hood, I spent the weekend taking Dirk Dreamer and 3 teen NPC's through University. I've recently installed Uni, so this is just my second time through, and the first time I've ever played the teen NPC's.
Oh my, that was fun. Uni itself was tedious, but the characters were a perfect match to become thick as theives buddies. I had Dirk, Alon Livingston, Amy Jones (who turns out beautiful with the right makeover) and Michelle I-forget-her-last-name. A weekend's worth of work, two romances, a big graduation party and now....sigh....four more characters sitting in the neighborhood bin who need homes and to move on with their lives. Just what I needed, MORE plot lines.
I'm going to bed! (After I watch Desperate Housewives on DVR)

Had to break for Desperate Housewives as well, lol.
Briefly going to the toddler subject again, toddlers can get toys out of the toybox themselves once they can walk. They climb into it, practically, and it is really cute. I have pics, somewhere, of course, but they're scattered everywhere while I'm trying to get my storybooks together.

11 babies?! I have to say, you're my idol now, Brynne haha! the best i did was 3 mothers and 5 kids in the house. you can't imagine how happy i was when someone finally grew into a child! now i don't havta worry bout ya! haha!
actually I dont mind toddlers .I think their cute and I love their little voices .I just wish toddlers could interact with one another.I just got a toddler trained with out smart milk or the thinking cap all inone sim day leaving the toddler time to play and be read to and more time to interact with his parents. not that the gane allows for much real life interaction with toddlers. the toddler is now a child and has a baby brother, his older brother just left for Uni and Mom is pregnant again. to work on hers and Dad's LTW to marry off six kids and Grandpa's to have six grandkids for my prosperity challenge. mom has yet to get a job but Dad is an intern .Grandpa moved out to his own place next door to make room for all these grandkids he wants.the upside of no job and back to back pregnancy's for mom is her cooling skill is nearly maxed out along with her cleaning skill. she reads books to skill inbetween sleeping,waatching tv,etc.....
haha, well i can't say i mind them too much. but with 3 pregnant moms and 8 toddlers and babies, especially the toddlers who constantly need to be let out of the crib and put back in the crib...the babies weren't better. feeding them is just plain headache. once i finish with this one, i gotta get another one, and with the wailing toddlers, my mouse was clicking furiously..

I tried to get the toddlers to interact with each other by clicking on the toybox, the dollhouse, anything toddler-related. No dice. Is this supposed to be an autonomous thing, maybe?
I was so surprised and thrilled when I discovered this a while back that I actually give toddlers one day of 'skill free' relationship building time now.
The key is that the toddlers must have learned to talk. If you want to 'force' a test, teach 2 toddlers to talk, reduce their fun and social as low as you can and plunk them together with toys. You'll notice them chatting away as they play, (those overachievers talking about work and math are the funniest)
If they can walk, they can fetch their own toys from the toybox, if not, someone else will have to do it for them.
They will only 'talk' in pairs though, so even numbers are handy and kids can 'join' in too.
nectere:
This is true, toddlers do interact. However, sometimes you have to get one of the toddlers to stop playing and then start again before they will start babbling to each other. I find it works best if the toddlers have all their basic skills (walk talk potty) and you keep the adults or teens busy so they dont constantly interfere. I have had twins be best friends once they hit childhood. I havent had to have either of the toddler's fun or social low to do this, just the basic skills and the toy box.
