Could you not post the exact same thread twice?
Your thread, right below this one, "Tell me what you think of this NEW ep idea." is identical to this one.

yea i posted it in the general section also then they moved it here and it was deleted i didnt do it on purpose sorry

I like it, maybe this should just be a thread for EP ideas in general.

To the first poster I love your idea especially baby showers.We need a ep like this.

Wow, this was well thought out! BRAVO! I really like the idea. This is, man, SO brilliant! I really hope that EA releases more Expansion packs that are more down to the point, unlike "heres the expansion pack with apartments, oh yeah, witches too". I really like this idea

haha yea they love to just throw random things together but at least they try to give us everything we want. I just think with the sims 3 we need to see some fresh ideas with expansions. Since the game is a bigger and better version we need bigger and better EPs!

I love your idea, i've always wanted more stuff for babies.

This is probably the best expansion pack idea I've ever heard of.
It's always bothered me that babies and toddlers were just kind of, there.

And it's always been a very unrealistic part of the game, too, because in the real world adults go nuts over little ones, and in the game they usually seem like they could care less. I would love for my Sim parents to be able to do more with their kids, and for them to just be able to do more in general.

I also think we should ba able to dress babies, instead of keeping them wrapped in blankets.

A few other things that could be added are small toys for babies and toddlers, like these:

In general, I'd like to see A BIG IMPROVEMENT on the overall gameplay around babies and toddlers.

Maybe a kindergarden/youth center would be put in the EP so that kids can learn skills and be watched after. Of course this would be optional and there would be a fee. It could also allow other sims to apply for a part time job here. To not defeat the purpose of babysitters, the price to enroll your toddler would be more expensive and takes place only during the day.

That's a really good idea, too!
And maybe we could even have like, a kid themed swim park or something.

There is obviously a niche for this...
Didn't one of the The Sims 2 expansion packs include quite a lot of baby stuff?

And they will surely keep throwing "random stuff together", held only loosely together by a theme, that's how they get everyone to buy all expansions.

If they release a Family Expansion pack with all the family stuff, and another with all the weird stuff (like aliens) then Family interested Players will only buy the first one, while the players who love messing with aliens, zombies and vampires will only buy that one. Much better for business to mix both, or better yet, mix them up with five other expansions, at least in part. That way everyone will have some measure interest in everything.

EA carefully spreads their features over multiple Expansion Packs. A very smart move.

I really like this idea. So well thought out. The younger ages were really forgotten in TS2. I've always wanted a baby monitor because I hated trying to squeeze a crib into the parents room. I usually didn't pay enough attention so if the baby cried and the time didn't slow down I never noticed. [EDIT: I'm talking about TS2 in the past tense?!]

Here are a few of my ideas if you don't mind (Sorry if they have already been said but there was a lot to go through ) :

Items-
Giant Trampoline (This could be used for all ages)
Trading Cards
Backpacks (If not in base game)
Playpen (Maybe same as a playard)

Traits-
Picky eater
Bully
Know It All
Fussy/Whiney

I'm not sure if traits are or would ever be age specific.

Actions/interactions/Misc-
Parents can make kids/teens a bagged lunch for school.
Mooch kids can get homework done by genius/bookworm kids.
Kids can suck up to their teachers.
Pregnant Sims can get advice from other Sims who have gone through child birth.
Parents can donate money to their children's school.
Parents are able to take time off of work to go on field trips with their kids.
Parents can join a PTA.
Kids can go to summer camp. (If there is a seasons EP)
Ice cream truck can roam the streets (Mentioned in another thread Here )

^^ those are great ideas. There are so many things EA could do with an EP like this. They could add all kinds of activities & interactions for teens,children, & toddlers. Because really the Sims is usually so focused on the Adult life stage. But yea this is just what I think lol. It would be cool if they actually did something like this!

I totally agree. They've been so neglected in the past, I'd be happy if they just Incorporated these things in other expansion packs.

Me 2.

that would be worse then any of the 15 expansions we already got; even living large and BV added more gameplay then that

I never said it had to be a EP dedicated to just this stuff. I would like them to add more stuff for kids in sims3 though. if you don't like the idea fine but don't be rude about it. That act gets super old really fast
