Freaky Toddler!

[twooflower]

The toddler blanket gave me a few problems, so I don't usually use it.  I still have it in my inventory.  I had an adult visitor get stuck on one once.  Sometimes they get glitchy and the toddlers won't stay on them and sleep, which is when I delete them -- the blankets, not the toddlers.

I tend to put one down the first time the toddler is exhausted and the parents are asleep - don't usually remember about it until that reminds me.  They're definitely invaluable when the parents are sleeping. Mine sometimes appear unusable too, never occurred to me they were the wrong way round - didn't even know they had to be a certain way round.

I prefer different looking babies.  Most of them look exactly the same and there's no indication of what they're going to look like as toddlers.

That doesn't look like a Maxian skin. Many custom skins exhibit strange textural issues on babies and toddlers, which commonly include "eyes all over the place" and funny teeth issues.

I have always had those teeth issues even on maxis skins. No rhyme or reason, I assume its that the teeth simply dont fit the mesh properly for certain facial anims - thanks maxis!

I had this happen when the blanket was against a wall and facing the wrong way. It is not immediately apparent which is the front since the arrows are beneath the blanket surface.   

In my game a previously usable toddler blanket will suddenly start acting like it's blocked even when neither it nor anything near it has been moved.  I really do think there's something a little bit buggy about it.  As far as I can tell, it eventually happens to every blanket in every house.

I've found that moving it will unblock it anyway, though.  For me the usefulness far outweighs the minor annoyance of having to check and make sure the toddler really does go to sleep.

That's weird, I've not had any problems with it being blocked.  I was pleasantly surprised that it worked as well as it did with the Baby Controller.  Perhaps it's because of the way I've been positioning it?

That's something I've seen all too often.  All of my toddlers have their bottom jaw pop out whenever they make that face when crying in the crib.  At first I thought it may be a genetic problem, say, the chin was too high, but it's so common to me now that I accepted it as part of the game.  I'm surprised so many have said they've never seen it before.

On my toddler pic? You'd be right, it is a Lyran default skin I think if it happens again I'm going to take them out. I like my sims to look 'normalish'

[rohina]

I don't think it's the skin. I think it happens with most toddies, but some skins might make it more noticable. I had it with Maxis skin babies, too. The really weird custom skins have those creepy babies with the extra eyes.

[Emma]

My other sims have had lots of babies and toddlers, but this is the first one that have had the protruding teeth from the jaw. I'm on the lookout for it now though!

[ElfPuddle]

I have all of Lyran's skins (none default) and I haven't ever had the teeth thing.

*knocks on wood*

I've had the extra eyes thing a couple of times that was related to a custom skin - blue, if my memory serves me correctly - which I no longer have. Have never seen the teeth though. As for the odd baby, Hegelian, it looks quite cute to me although I think sim babies are quite generic until they get to be toddlers.

[SIMplyLisa]

I've had the third eye baby with one custom skin which I quit using. No teeth thing babies so far. I love the baby blanket and only ocassionally get a routing complaint.

Heg's baby reminds me of the cigar chomping baby from Roger Rabbit! 

[verdaeni]

the one with the ken doll teeth,  if its still playing with the dollhouse, its just that the toddlers put all the pieces in their mouth. it only counts if they still have the doll AFTER stopping play!

[Wedgetail]

This is going to sound like a gross question, when the toddler is eating with teeth like that do you ever zoom in out of curiosity to see if you can watch their jaw working? I know watching a toddler masticating food isn't everyones idea of fun, but I'd be curious as what the effect is with teeth that hang out at the bottom of the jaw 

[Emma]

I have never watched them eating, but I will be sure to if I ever get this effect again

[Hei_Chavorale]

Hegelian, I think your kid is cute.  I've noticed the ken doll thing but never the teeth thing. Weird... make up some weird story about it then put it on sims2.com. I'm sure people will read it.

I don't get what is weird about the child chewing on the Ken doll??

[Torkle]

Sorry - There is nothing broken about the toddler chewing on the Ken doll.  I just thought it was cute and somewhat related to teething issues.

[RainbowTigress]

Oh yeah, it is cute.  I know that when kids are that age, everything goes in their mouths.    I thought someone was saying there was something wrong with it.
