'The Sims 4' news: toddlers added to game, 'biggest' update was in the works 'for years'

After the announcement of the Vampire and Bowling game pack for "The Sims 4," Electronic Arts (EA) brings another familiar feature to the fold.

The toddlers are finally added to the hit life simulation game via what EA describes as the game's "biggest update" to date that comes with literally little package.

This is EA's answer to the tons of requests for the toddlers to be added in "The Sims 4." Many gamers have hoped to see the addition of babies to the game for a while now.

Toddlers are huge fan-favorites and have become a staple in "The Sims" franchise, which is why it was not a surprise that they finally found their game to the life simulation game.

"We know that the toddler life stage is an experience that many of you have consistently asked for, and it's very important to us that as we do it in a way that makes sense for The Sims 4, and feels right for our players," EA wrote.

It turns out that the toddler update for "The Sims 4" is something that was planned "for years." Since it is something that fans wanted, EA made sure it will be well worth the wait.

"We just had to find the right time, resources and design to allow us to start the heavy process of actually building and bringing Toddlers to life. And believe me when I say it has been really REALLY difficult to not talk about this as we worked to get it right," they went on to explain.

That being said, the toddlers' addition to "The Sims 4" is one for the books. As one would expect, it will ultimately allow Sims to bond with babies as they grow older, nurture and teach them.

There are new toddler skills that adult Sims can help them with by helping them learn through flash cards, dance parties, potty and of course, talk.

The toddler update for "The Sims 4" also includes "over a hundred new animations, dozens of new interactions, and great new suites of outfits and objects. But most importantly, we've bridged a really meaningful part of your Sims' lives."
