So about babies..

Remember when they said the reason babies are tied to a crib is because of multi tasking and slot popping etc?
We were worried toddlers and pets would have the same issues, but they've updated the engine to allow Sims to carry other Sims.
If I remember correctly, they said they could do the same to babies, but they have to justify the resources put into it.
So let's give them a reason. Who wants babies separated from the crib?

All the sims err'day
But if other people feel like it would add to their gameplay to have them be more detailed and non-objects i would never go against that and i'd always support it.
What i liked in Sims 2 was that you could tell what eye colours they had and stuff...
ETA: Oh, and one more thing. It would be very nice were a Sim holding a baby to be able to pass baby off to another Sim, like they could in Sims2.

I would love something like that. Babies could have bouncer chairs, different blankets to wrap them, cribs and cute decor. We could carry them in swings or in one of that baby carries and have a babyshower as social event for pregnant sims.
It does require a lot of resources, it's unlikely to fit the budget of a stuff pack and it's not enough for a game pack. However, they could release it like one of the features of a generations GP or EP. In depth babies, elders, funerals. It would be awesome!
- Bathe them in Bath or sink
- Take them for a walk in a stroller
- Introduce them to family and friends. (Have this option when holding baby)
- Teach to walk ( After teaching the baby to walk then they can take their first steps and the parent could get a moodlet. If they max this skill then they will be higher in the movement skill when they age up to toddler)
- Teach to talk (same as walking but instead babies could say their first words)
- Be able to play in play pens
- Toddlers and kids can play with babies
- When a sim takes the baby out of the crib then they should be able to put them down and have the baby crawl around
- Kids have an "ask to hold" or "ask to see" option when another sim is holding a baby
What I mostly want is to just see the ability for my sims to take them out to places and they are not just restricted to the crib.
Oh yeah, these are good ideas. I never make my sim play with the baby after feeding it in Sims 2 due to some firsthand experience with the barfing.
I honestly don't mind right now that the babies are tied to cribs, because in Sims 2 and 3, that's where I leave them 90% of the time. When Sims 3 had strollers and that baby swing, yeah, they're worth taking them out of the crib for, but you still can't do much with newborns.
I think you have a point about justifying such a change, and since toddlers were well-done, I think they can go beyond and make revolutionize the baby lifestage too, if they wanted it. We just need more gameplay ideas for babies...something that would entice players to take them out of their bassinets. The Sims 4's multitasking engine is good for this. Maybe parents can watch TV with their babies on their laps as they sit down. That's a thing parents do. I guess if our sims can do more activities while carrying a baby, they wouldn't just be left in a crib or bassinet.
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
^^^^ this! i love these ideas!
I love the sims freeplay babies! They are so adorable. The bouncers are my favourite. I hope to see that added for sims 4
I´m definately in!
lookin for lets players an reviewers for tha short/demo version a my game

Having said that, if they DID make them more mobile, I'd be totally ok with that also! I'm just saying I'd only really see the purpose if they included more interactions/more things for them to do. I said in another post that I'd love for our sims to be able to run their own daycare....they could have a baby room, a toddler room, a child room. They could set rates for care, hire staff for each room/type of care, etc. Along with this, if there were some baby objects that would be awesome. Play mats, teething rings, they could do tummy time, etc. I, too, would like strollers to come back but for the babies I want them to be a stroller they can lay in like actual babies would. I hated in TS3 how the burrito babies would sit up in the stroller....a little brand new newborn nooboo wouldn't sit up like that, I'd like it to be more realistic. If they're not going to make them mobile and not flesh them out a little bit more, I don't see much point. If they're gonna make them more interactive, I'd be all for it!
I just wish they'd free them from the crib. Give us an object or two to place them in it, like a special chair or a mat, to give us illusion of actually spending time with them and bonding. They don't feel like a sim to me and I hate their pale, scary little faces.
