Here is a glimpse of some of the brand new features and objects that will make playing with your younger Sims an experience that is more than meets the eye (of adult Sims that is)!!<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Imaginary Friends are the cornerstone of a Child Sim\u2019s imaginary world!<\/li>\n<li>o If you use Create A Sim to create a family of Sims that includes a toddler, there is a chance an Imaginary Friend doll will appear in the Toddler\u2019s inventory once the game is started. If a child is born during gameplay, there is a chance an Imaginary Friend doll will arrive in the mail some time after the Sim\u2019s birth.<\/li>\n<li>o To make an Imaginary Friend doll come to life, a Toddler will have to name him or her and then spend a considerable amount of time playing with and singing to their Imaginary Friend doll. If they have spent enough time with the doll, it will magically spin to life shortly after the Toddler ages up to the Child age.<\/li>\n<li>o Once brought to life, a Child Sim can perform many of the same socials and activities with his or her Imaginary Friend that they could with a real life Sim. From playing on the new hopscotch court, to a good old pillow fight, your Sim can build a relationship with the Imaginary Friend in the same manner that they can with any other Sims.<\/li>\n<li>o There are also a handful of new interactions available like \u201cClean Up for Me\u201d or \u201cGet Me a Snack\u201d that children can ask the Imaginary Friend to do. But don\u2019t forget, your Child is the only Sim that can see your Imaginary Friend, so other Sim\u2019s may think he or she is a bit crazy when interacting with the Imaginary Friend!<\/li>\n<li>o Sims who excel at making potions with the brand new Chemistry Set may someday be able to create a powerful potion that could turn an Imaginary Friend into a real-life, controllable Sim that is a part of your household!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>Tree Houses<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Children Sims have three brand new Tree Houses to play in!<\/li>\n<li>o <em>The Kid\u2019s Clubhouse<\/em> \u2013 Despite being constructed from scrap materials and a bucket of nails, this classic Tree House is the perfect location for Sims to have Sleep Over\u2019s or to use the brand new \u201cFight Pirate Invaders\u201d interaction!<\/li>\n<li>o <em>The Sci-Fi Hideaway<\/em> \u2013 This high tech Tree House looks like it is straight out of the future! This is the perfect Tree House for children to throw on their Astronaut costume using the new Costume Chest, and then use the brand new \u201cExplore New Worlds\u201d interaction!<\/li>\n<li>o <em>The Princess and the Pauper Castle<\/em> \u2013 This Tree House (or rather Tree Castle!) is straight out of a fantasy world complete with turrets and a trap door escape pole.

Sim\u2019s wearing the Prince or Princess costumes will preside over their kingdoms as if they were in a Royal Court. Dino-clad Sims will roar and claw their way around the neighborhood like the king of the Dinosaurs!<\/li>\n<li>o Sim\u2019s in the T-Rex costume may even have the ability to perform the Dino Smash interaction on any unsuspecting Doll Houses\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>Strollers<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Adults now have the ability to cart their Toddlers and Babies around in Strollers!<\/li>\n<li>o Found in Buy mode, you can purchase two different Strollers: <em>The Twinbrook Roller<\/em> and the <em>Air-Strol LX<\/em><\/li>\n<li>o Adults can store Strollers in their inventory and will automatically choose to push Toddlers or Babies in them during situations in which they would usually carry them.<\/li>\n<li>o Strollers can also be clicked on when placed on a lot, and players can select the \u201cGo on Stroll with\u2026\u201d or \u201cGo to Community Lot with\u2026\u201d interactions.
