If that is true (I'm sorry I didn't see the women or the colors at first) but don't you think this is just a little bit like EA is trying to sway people to buy the base by doing this so people will get over the toddler thing as long as they think EA is supporting gays in this game? I think it is all a marketing strategy to hood wink players...hey look no toddlers ! but look! EA supports Gays! And that is really shameful of them. Don't you think it is odd this picture (if it is not just bro trait and trying to show support for gay couples in game etc.) comes out today after all the back lash these last two days? It really, really is shameful of them.
ETA: gah I haven't had enough coffee, yet. Yeah the caption is trying to show support I see it now, but still it's like when one party thinks they are going to loose too many minority votes they hold up some token person or something minorities really care about and exploit it. It really is sickening of EA to do this 'now' in hopes they don't loose their gay customers over the toddler back lash. That's how I see it.

The horrible thing is it's almost working! It's going to take at least a canon gay couple in one of the new neighbourhoods to sway me, and honestly, the first thing I noticed about this picture was the weird lack of a toddler since there's a child and a baby.

I don't know, because EA as a company are known for supporting gay rights, and I believe they actually took part in the San Francisco Pride Parade last year. Whether or not they do that for genuine reasons or just to help their public image, I'll leave people to come to their own conclusions on.
I'm really happy that babies have limbs. It's cool. But it's just so much like Sims 2. We've been there, had that, and wrote the book on it. I'm looking for something new from Sims 4. Not Sims 2 carbon copied babies. It might as well be Sims 2.5.

I just see it as them hiding behind the LGBT, LBTG, BLT on rye (its one of those acronyms right?) community because any criticism and the person doing the criticising is eviscerated, defence by association. unfortunately for EA most (unfortunately not all) aren't stupid enough to fall for it.
It's just yet another render and at the moment at least the baby look creepy as hell in it.
I swear that's just a photoshopped Sims 2 baby in a Sims 4 sims arms.
Edit: IF that is a Sims 4 baby then all I feel like all they did was go back into sims 2 programming and copied the baby into sims 4. And IF that is the case then EA is much lazier than they already are.
The guy in the orange tank top is married to the guy in the yellow shirt, the woman with the child is holding hands with another woman, and the two girls at the end are a couple, with the dad proud of them.

How else is a baby sup post to look, geez!
At the least? Part of the same species as the adults...
edit~ additionally.
Baby on left, child in the middle, that's one hell of a birthday growth spurt right there.

Sounds like a phrase that could reference LGBT couples.
Oh and thanks for posting it ofcourse!

Really cool, EA!
He has a gold band on his left ring finger, could mean he's married?
Does that make his full-bearded boyfriend a teen too? Because if so this life stage is just getting better and better.
I'm not proud of it but they hit a spot which softens me up a bit with this. Just a little bit though...

Oh wow I didn't notice the two women holding hands. It's too bad this is photoshopped though because none of this stuff will be in game.
