Have we received any information on the children and family aspects of the game?
families are my favorite part of the sims, and i for one am quite excited to be able to have more unique looking sims and therefore children that look more like their parents.
I find in the sims 3 that all my sims end up looking the same and so all the kids kind of blend in with one another, im hoping with the sims 4's new CAS features that the children born in game will have more of a genetic resemblance to their family members.
i'm also hoping for the infant stage to be a bit more interactive, as it is right now i generally cheat and age up infants the day i bring them home, i find them boring and you cant see what they look like.
what are your hopes for the children and families in sims 4?
and what are the confirmed aspects of family life for the sims 4?

There's been absolutely zero news about children and families in TS4. I wouldn't be surprised if the game was developed without them altogether and they're being shoehorned in now, since the game started as an always-online phone/tablet thing.
Like you, families are my favorite part of Simming. I hate how in TS3 all the children look alike (sullen) except for their hair and dislike the boring burrito babies. I hope TS4 will have a good genetics system because EA sure hasn't impressed me yet.
Did it really start as an always online/phone game? Do you have a link, I wanna see lol!
...Well I can hope
Yes, I want to see also. This is a terrifying thought.
I shouldn't be giving them ideas, should I?

Thank you @MDianaSanders for halloween-fying Golluma
Hush!!!!!!!
Your sim looks amazing!
Genetics and life stages are being talked about next according to a blog from one of the devs so we're getting news soon. I hope the genetics are like TS2 and your kids actually look like both the parents and you can pass on genes to the kids. No more burrito babies! We need babies with feet!

Other than that, we've had diddly squat. Which makes me upset too, as that is my main gameplay as well!!
*fingers & toes crossed*
Yeah, I liked the way sims 2 focused on all the life stages and the whole family!
Me too!!!
I'm hoping the genetics are improved, so we can have some really unique children!
Yep, me too!
Happy Simming!
You can Google the whole "Olympus" thing. I think that was the developing game that they're now calling TS4, and it looked suspiciously like it was an online-only game for devices other than the PC. Just my opinion. EA never confirmed it afaik.
The sims 2 was good That way.
The sims 3 was focusing on young adult but not the other life stages :evil: :thumbdown: .
I hope I am very, very wrong.
Since when is it acceptable for a game to only have one main feature? To only focus on one single thing? Like okey. Emotions are new. Great, multitasking.
But that's it! They don't even bother to make a couple of animations to get into the car! Lol? They could it in the sims 2, why not in sims 4??
It's just so painfull to see my favourite game become a low-budget game....
You know? I bet you're right. The more I learn, the less I like. At this time I don't see me getting this game. They are so busy trying to make it easier for the novices, that they forgot about the skilled veterans....again.
More baby-parent interactions would be amazing and I wish they could make the children look like AND behave like their parents (similar face expressions, walking style and so on). Pregnancy and creating families are my MAIN aspects of the game and I'd die to see them even more developed. I'm so excited for the whole emotions-and-multitasking thing, but I need space for making the families I've always dreamt of. Furthermore, my current Sims kind of look the same and I need more distinguishable face and body characteristics to make my towns even more unique...
Ah, I can't wait! I hope the new Sims generation will live up to my expectations... 8)
To answer your question about why no more hair colors as defaults or a color wheel, may be because we will get back the TS2 type genetics in this next game. Someone on MTS that understands such things, pointed out this is why the 'believe' you won't see a color wheel for hair colors in TS4 etc.
That would be great...there is a name for those type genetics...but as usual it slipped my mind.
But it is important to that process 'if' players can't just recolor everything about the eye color and the hair etc. Unlike TS3's system where the baby would inherit the dye job, (purple hair etc.) the TS2 Sim baby even though Mama did have purple hair..taken to a mirror etc..would be born with black or brown etc.
I hope they do expand upon this..if it is true to make sure this is not only a true element of a baby born ingame you told the Sim to have..(like in TS2) but all babies born ingame, or to townies etc.
Agree. The Sims 2 was amazing with family interactions
