The other night I had one of my sims teach his son to ride a bike - they were practicing in the market-stall area in the Arts district of San Myshuno. It probably took about 5 or 10 minutes all told to complete. I realized for the first time in quite a while that I was completely enjoying just sitting back and watching my sims DO something. I've also been making infants scoot all over because that is the cutest animation I think I have ever seen in the Sims 4.
Why are these infants so precious though?!!??!!😱😱 what kind of a sorcery is this?!?!
My heart just totally melts for them. And when my infant did a little sneeze omg!! 😍😍😍
I'm sorry toddlers move over😂
Although it will be awhile before I have my first baby, I'm really looking forward to when my couple starts their family. From what I have read others write, Growing Together and raising infants feels gradual and unique. Infants wont just age up and bam—they know everything.
My couple has now lived in each area of the new world. They recently moved to Gilbert Gardens and this will be the place they call home and raise their family eventually. I really like living so close to the lake and how accessible the walking board signs are.
Went out to brunch and as I looked around, I noticed this sim I created out with her hubby and daughter. You really do have to place the right hairstyle on the right Sim. This hairstyle, that came with Growing Together, really looks great on the mom.
Bella is having brunch with her two sisters, their husbands and kids as well as her boyfriend, Denton. Bella graduated last Saturday and finally Denton will graduate this Saturday. The next big thing will be for him to propose in a beautiful special place.
Bella is wearing clothing from the new pack.
Because both Bella and Denton each come from big families, I will usually have outings and events where either its hers or his family invited.
Taking time to build up my family photos. There are a lot of nice build items; the new picture frame and family of owls are nice items to have in your homes.

The new walking styles are a nice add. Yet, I wish everyone did the power walk because only Denton's dad was doing the new walk style. Sometimes I do notice other Sims power walking around the neighborhood. You see way more activity living in Gilbert Gardens.
Denton and Bella went power walking with their parents and Honey, their pet.
This is Denton and Bella on a reflective walk with their parents.
Some things I've noticed when they stop walking to either take a breath, drink water or eat an apple.
Very informative, thank you for sharing. I don't really like the changes. Teens basically get a penalty for every age but teens. Why is the young adults-infants relationship punished while adults-infant relationship is rewarded. I like playing young parents but anyone under the age of 40 is suddenly no longer a good parent according to the devs? I wish there was a way to turn this off.
BTW doesn't this deserves it's own discussion because it is base game, not part of growing together?
I agree most of the children, toddlers, and babies I have, have young adults as parents, I even have a couple of families that have young adults as parents of teens ( I made the families in CAS ).
The Rec Center really interests me as a lot type because all I remember doing with those sorts of buildings growing up is having family gatherings, like a Christmas gathering or reunions. But once again, I lived where such places were 30 minutes away so I didn't have access to them normally. I'm super curious to see what Sims it'll automatically attract during gameplay.
Also would probably swap the Lounge in Mt. Komorebi out for one, depending if elders spawn in the Rec Center lot. There's also like, one lot in Sulani I debate on making a Community Lot or this one. Really depends on how things shake out with this lot type.
We really need a lot type that can be used for elders to spawn, like the lot type we have for teens to show up.
I think they adjusted the lounge lot type to spawn elders mostly. Last time I visited the lounge there were only elders whereas before it used to be a mixed bunch of sims. I read from another simmer on the forum that they had a similar experience.
That’s good to know. But I think it would still be good to have a lot trait that you can put on a lot to spawn elders. In case someone wanted the rec center of other lot to down them.

I was very alarmed when I first found out about this. To my relief young adult parents are still able to build up a positive relationship with their infants without problems. So I can live with it.
Even the NPCs dish up young adult parents with a teen kid. If I use any of them I age down the teen. Since the aging shift some of my sims families were also out of whack. Only fixed the really bad ones. It's OK if spouses are in different age groups, but the preteen parents irk me.

No longer do sims automatically get along with every other sim, it was great!
