    I don't see the "no" there at all. Just a general thing where sometimes she and Grant say "no" to each other. There was never a "no baby update, ever".

    It didn't sound to me like they were never going to do one, but it did sound to me like they probably haven't started one yet so if they do do one in the future, it'll probably be a long time coming.

    I'm soooory. I'm not a native speaker and sometimes it's hard cause they speak fast. But why James said : ''it's good to hear that the answer is no'' ?

    He said he was glad to hear the answer isn't no. Your English is very good though.

    Didn't hear a no for the players. Pretty sure the guru's/designers have their doubts on certain content much like strangerville when grant mentioned it in the maxis monthly with being skeptical. Grant mentioned a year or so back on twitter that babies were on their list of things to look at.

    Babies in every iteration is the shortest and most boring life stage to me, but hey if they can update them I'll take it either way. I always end up letting my sim autonomously take care of them.

    I don’t really want a baby update, but whatever.

    The whole “explain my first pet stuff” thing was really annoying, especially since they included whatever that thing with the video “question” was.

    Oh, it makes all the difference. Yeah the way he said that was similar to ''the answer is no''. Thank's for my English, that's not perfect tho but it has improved a lot since 2017. :smiley:

    A bit of topic but regarding the video:

    I wouldn't mind a hairstylist business like the vet/restaurants where you can put unique hair on the sims that you can colour with a colour wheel, or a tattoo parlor to paint on sims skins.

    Interesting interview. Towards the end when Lyndsay is speaking about what she sees or thinks about as far as the future for the sims she speaks about connecting players? She didn’t really elaborate but it sounded to me like maybe she was thinking about an online option? Or multiplayer option? Gawd, I hope not.

    Same.

    If that turns out to be the driving direction for Sims 5 it will be the end for me. I won’t get ahead of myself, but if a Sims 5 is going to happen it must be in production? Or at the very least they are working on it. For her to say that makes me feel like this is maybe where the game might be headed. Sad to think about.
    For me anyway.

    I would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad if the babies don't get an update!!! And to everyone saying that we don't need one because they're boring: Everyone has a different play style and some are really family orientated.

    This. I mainly play with families so I'd also like more game play for teens and elders. However as babies are currently objects I'd prefer to have them updated first; even if it's just something like being able to drag the bassinet into another room in live mode would be an improvement.

    Why are people obsessed with getting an update for literally the most boring life stage in the game? Okay, we remove babies from their bassinets, then what? They'll have the same exact functions as before, except now they'll be able to be moved around... yay, I guess? I mean, Sims 4 babies are literally the same as they've always been in previous games... the only difference is that they can't be removed from the bassinet.

    Most players just age babies up within a few days anyway, so why is getting an update for them such a big deal?

    I wouldn't say I am obsessed with getting them changed, but I would like it. The babies how they are though are still one of my very favorite life stages to play. I usually don't age a long long time because I always play families with lots of kids and I love having the parents taking care of babies. I'm not really expecting an update, so I wouldn't be disappointed if we don't and I think they are fine how they are now, but if they did update it I would also be very very happy because as fine as they are they could be a hundred times better

    I don't think she meant it as an Online Multiplayer option.

    She mentions that she wants to make it easier for us to connect and find other people that are similar to come to our "streams"/videos, or I suppose to be able to share screenshots, or video clips, (or share our challenges that we're playing, other game-play, etc) and she mentions she doesn't want to recreate the Twitch Platform. But wants to make it easier to find other Simmers and probably be able to interact with others and share pictures, videos, (I should really go to bed.. instead of being on the forums.. repeating myself, and semi-fighting sleep) and be able to comment and things like that. But I could be very wrong as she was vague about her response. It will be interesting to see if they try to release something for this, though.

    I hope you’re right. The vagueness of her response has me wondering.

    Well, now I'm not sure how much interest I'll be having in this game for much longer. Babies need more than any other life stage, but the team seems to make it clear that they have no desire to give them any sort of improvements. It's honestly sad that family players are so grossly neglected to the point that we can't even have babies as actual living beings.

    I am a family player and I just don't see the point to updating babies. It's a three day lifespan, and as a mom I can honestly say they do the exact same things as real babies: cry, sleep, eat, and mess in their diaper. Being able to have your Sims pack them around while they do these things doesn't really add anything to the game. Plus everyone complains often and loudly about the multitasking in this game, how is it going to work with adult Sims trying to do anything in this game while packing a baby about? I can only imagine the complaints of it's set baby down to do x, then pick baby back up, to into next room and set baby down to do y. At least when you set a toddler down they can manage to amuse themselves for a bit while your adult sim is otherwise occupied. Guaranteed baby Sims set down while mom does laundry will be squalling to no end in a matter of seconds.

    Hey there, I've moved this to speculation and rumour because it is speculation. Carry on :smile:

    Agreed with the previous poster - your English is very good. As a native speaker, I found both of them a bit difficult to understand - they're speaking quite fast, and they aren't speaking very clearly. The NoCal accent most of the gurus have is much slower and more carefully pronounced.
    I just want things to match. :'(

    I thought it was good news that Lindsay wants to see babies updated - it's just not on the table right now. As she notes, there is a lot of free stuff they'd like to add, but they can't do it all at once. (And a baby update would really have to be free, not part of a pack, since it would change a whole life stage.) I'm happy to hear that we've got Lindsay in our corner.

    Personally, I can't understand why people want cars or an island paradise (more candy for the YT life stage). I can't imagine anything more boring than watching my Sims get into a car that teleports off the lot or swimming in the ocean.

    I do enjoy the babies, even as they are now, but I'd be thrilled to have more things to do with them. If we could do more with babies, I'd probably turn off aging to play that life stage longer, so arguing that 'it's such a short life stage' isn't fair. It's short because the options are so limited.

    Really? You can't?

    Car woohoo, listening the car radio, travelling in a car with pets and toddlers, driving to community lots, mechanic npc to get cars fixed when they break down, getting a drivers license, garages and driveways etc.

    Beaches, ocean swimming, surfing, making sand castles, collecting seashells, scuba diving and snorkelling.
