Toddlers and pools wouldn't save this series. EAxis loves to half do objects and interactions and that practice will not change with Sims 4. Nothing to look forward to. Nothing to see.

If they were to include toddlers and pools, how much more would the game cost?

^^ we will see with the babies and pols expansion pack lol

No they shouldn't delay. They can patch pools in and possibly add toddlers to an expansion pack.

I wish they would delay it to add pools and toddlers
They could have added things to the pools. More slides, more interactions. I bet having an "evil" sim be able to shove the other sims underwater would be cool.

I thought todds and pools was the deal-breaker for me. But the ULTIMATE killer was the really small world size, no customizing worlds option, story progression. I'd be happy and hell, I'd even pay at least $20 more when it comes out if they'd just delay the game for about a year and fix these things. But I know it won't happen.

Toddlers and pools are not deal-breakers for me. So my answer would be "no." I've had families that have gone their whole lives without using a pool. But I do hope they get added later (Generations and Seasons?)
