Babies are a joke

Seriously. I'm getting worried that babies all have the same outfit... is there absolutely no way to tell boys and girls apart?

For the last time they are not objects lol.
The crib is separate in Buy Mode, and we had it confirmed months ago that the needs the baby has passes over to the child life stage.
People just assumed because they are tied to the crib, it's like Sims 1. It's not. The Crib is an object in the buy catalogue.

No but they could have different baby clothes
It's pointless buying a bassinet because one appears when the baby is born, i.e, it's impossible for the baby to exist without it. Delete the bassinet, wave goodbye to your newborn.
Except you can't delete an object when a Sim is using it.

In The Sims 3 you don't have to put your baby in a crib. Sure, it's usually a good idea unless you like leaving newborns on the kitchen floor fr three days, but you're not forced to have one. The fact that babies in 4 are undoubtedly tied to their bassinets proves that they're just an object. And don't get me started on having to put them back after every plumming interaction.
You do realise babies in The Sims 2 had no clothes. Most babies just have nappies/diaper's after being born.
Also, in The Sims 3 your baby didn't even have a body.
So I can understand the tied to the crib thing, but the baby itself is a MUCH bigger step up from The Sims 3.

Um, the adults need massive improvement too.
They aren't an object.
A Sim can be tied to an object without being an object.
It's already confirmed baby Sims have motives that carry over to when they are a child. An object doesn't have motives/needs.

I don't know. I mean how much opportunity for emotions and weirder stories do families, especially children, provide? Really, who gets excited by finding out you or your significant other is pregnant? Who really cares when the infant is finally birthed? Who's got time to notice that the baby learned to sit up, roll over, crawl, stand or even start putting together some random sounds into the semblance of speech? There's just nothing there.
Toddlers, even worse. It's not like they're starting to run around like little hellions, making messes, talking up storms, getting into more things than infants. Or... Scaring the bejeezus out of their parents' and their parents' friends by, oh, going for a walk on their own.
See, two of the earliest possible life stages and there is just no opportunity for the emotional depth and complexity that comes with being a young adult and blowing airhorns in peoples' ears or making four gross of wooden rabbits or pancakes or starting a cupcake machine on fire!

The cowplant has needs and it is an object.
Babies were even more boring in The Sims 3 though. You could barely DO anything with them.
In The Sims 2 & The Sims 4 you can do so much more, even if babies can't leave the crib.
The fact that babies don't have a body, and are even more useless in The Sims 3, must ring a bell somewhere.

The sims 3 suks and the sims 2 was way better than the sims 4 babies and oh yeah HAD TODDLERS
As in these needs.
You can't view a babies needs, (as in The Sims 2 etc) but when your Sim ages up the needs carry over. So if you just fed your baby, your child Sim will be fully fed.
If you neglected your baby, your child will be low on Social.
This was confirmed months ago.

If babies were a Sim, atleast they should let us control it (and by that it means letting us see it's mood, moodlets and motives).
babies dont have the same needs as adult sims so thats incorrect too
