I love the sims 4 but i dont love the babies that was one of my favourite parts of the game in sims 3 and now you cant even see if you baby is upset or s hungry or need attention it just like having a pet you cant select it to see whats wrong you have to just keep trying stuff till it works and there stuck constantly in the bassinet and its lame
wouldn't it be amazing if the sims team made an expansion or game pack for babies with different activities to do with your little one
like scans for your pregnant sim, check ups at your doctor or call out from the midwife to check on the babies if that was easier to make happen, prams so you could take your babies with you, the option to take them out of their bassinets and put them were ever like you could in sims 3, some new items like clothes for your baby and furniture like cribs and prams change tables baby rockers also a new interactive career like daycare with babies involved too

You can get mods for new skins to make the babies look different. A mod that lets you put the baby anywhere without it being in the bassinet is also available if that is your jam. I know some hate that the haby is literally an object in build mode (you can get it in buy debug), but I find it relaxing. As for guessing the needs of the baby, read the skill book or browse the parenting forum to gain skill before baby because at a certain level you can click the "what's wrong" interaction and not have to guess.
Never have I known such boring sim babies.
They need a cross between sims 2 and sims 3 babies - lots of activities with them, but definitely no burritos. I would like to walk with them, bathe them, push them in a pram, take them out of the darn house for heavens sake. Be able to put them on a play mat on the floor or in a bouncy chair. Change their outfits, have bits of hair for them. Cuddle them on the sofa while watching tv.

I’m so glad that they are even considering this.
I loved the Sims 2 babies the best, though I also loved the Sims carrying the babies around and caring for them as well in Sims 3. There is just so much love and warmth with the babies.
I hate Sims 4 babies. Ugly, boring, pointless objects, ugh.
I want lively babies and the warm and cute interactions and carrying around interactions back!
I want sims to carry the babies, bathe the babies, play more with the babies, take the babies around the house, put them on the floor on blankets, put them in baby swings, etc.

I agree with all of these things. Babies are boring and annoying. And way too easy to deal with. They cry, do the 3 interactions you just said, ignore for 12 hours, lather, rinse, repeat. Nothing interesting about them. As others have observed, they're basically a piece of equipment like a TV that has a few interactions (watch, channel serf, turn on/off) and requires occasional maintenance (repair/upgrade). Babies should be more interesting and have more things you can do with them than a *television.*
i dont use twitter so that is really cool they actually have considered it hopefully they make some changes cause its fair annoying for me it take a lot of the fun out of that stage of the game. i mean the bassinets arnt even nice
I agree
I would love to see the same kind of improvement to infants that TS4 was able to accomplish with the toddlers. As a player who turns aging off until I'm ready to move the game forward, I would love infants that could:
- Gain simple skills -- lift their heads, turn over, scooch on their bellies in the crib or on the floor, kick up in excitement when someone that they know enters the room.
- Be stationed at different objects -- changing table, floor mat, sofa, infant seat, bouncy chair, swing, or in the middle of a double bed. That way, babies would never be left unattended on the floor. When they're not being held or carried, the baby would have to be "parked" on a suitable object. In TS3, I had cc objects that allowed my Sims to rest infants on sofas and in floor baskets. They were always in the middle of the family action and it felt realistic and special.
- Interact with family members -- be handed from one Sim to another, tug at ear, gum at and try to snatch at fingers, play peek-a-boo, sit on and fall asleep in someone's lap, nap on the bed with a parent...
- Be dressed up in different outfits. It's so much fun dressing babies. They should also have accessories as well such as hair bows and stud earrings. (No judgment, please. It's a cultural thing. I was months old when my grandmother pierced my ears and I'm fine, I promise.

I can;t agree more. I think Parenthood should have a refresh and base game too. We need better sims 4 babies.

I understand that I may be biased as I’m a cis-female of childbearing age and I also have a background in pregnancy, childbirth and newborn care.
I would love to see the following when it comes to pregnancy and babies:
1. More interactions for pregnant persons/couples- singing/reading to belly, for example. Babies can hear sounds in utero and there are a lot of benefits including increased bonding, speech and language development and comfort/soothing. Ability to rub own belly as well— there’s a reason many pregnant women can’t keep their hands off their bellies! Communication, calming an active baby and even alleviating pregnancy related discomfort.
2. Check ups/ultrasounds using the Get to Work pack, with the ability to be able to keep a picture of the ultrasound.
3. Pregnancy single & couples poses for the Moschino pack so parents to be can have pregnancy photo shoots.
4. Designing a nursery with Dream Home Decorator with new nursery items. The options we have are very limited. I really want proper cribs and diaper changing stations.
5. Ability to create a birth plan— whether the pregnant Sim would like to birth at a hospital or at home, breast or bottle feed, etc. Maybe even having a midwife or a doula at home. Taking prenatal/birthing/parenting classes.
6. Baby showers and gender reveal parties to celebrate the birthing Sim!
7. Baby carriers, strollers, bouncers, baby monitors. The carriers would be cool so your Sim can multitask better while carrying their infant.
8. Rocking in chair with baby and being able to hold babies while talking to other Sims.
