A BABY Stuff Pack?

I know a lot of Simmers don't really care too much about the newborns & their whole short lifestage BUT wouldn't you care more if you could do more with them?
Like:
-Create a BEAUTIFUL nursery with a usable Crib and Changing Table
-Be able to go on walks with your baby in a Stroller
-When you take your older kids to the park or anywhere, the baby comes to, in a Stroller or Baby Backpack thing.
-In Create-A-Sim, be able to make a baby and edit them.
-Definitely MORE clothing options
-More interactions
-A little bit longer of a lifestage so you can enjoy all these things
I don't think too many Simmers would pay a Game pack price for these things, BUT a Stuff pack price, why not?
Let me know what you think about Sim babies and if this is something you'd enjoy in your game!

Now whether or not we could trust dev team to do this without breaking 34 other things....that's a different story.

Back to the main thread point, I'm not sure a baby stuff pack would be all that great of an idea anyway though. The baby stage is so short and a large portion of the player base just skips it entirely by instant-aging that a pack where baby's are the whole focus would probably not sell very well.
Even if they expand on the babies, make them real sims, and give a lot more you can do with them....a lot of the the auto-age-skip-baby-stage players would by and large probably still not want to deal with them because no matter how you implement babies, what they mainly do is cry, poop and eat...just like real life. Have to agree with @stilljustme2, I'd prefer a teen stuff pack myself (and I'm NOT a baby-stage skipper).

> At this stage in the game I don't think they can improve on the current object babies without breaking any saves that have babies currently in them. So a crib or changing table would be merely decor. And since they're basically objects you can't change their clothes. I've come to terms with babies as they are now; I'd rather the resources go towards a Teen stuff pack to give that age group more definition.
I would love a teen stuff pack, and even thought I'm not happy with the babies, I'd like them to add cars.
I think that some of the things I'd like - such as baby personalities (fussy, quiet, playful) and continuity (a baby that gets more attention starts out the toddler stage with more empathy, for example) would require babies to be Sims rather than objects.
Other things could probably be done without changing the baby much - a variety of sleepers and crib styles, new interactions, a changing table. I'm not sure why the bassinet has to be attached to the baby (why it can't be an object in its own right), unless the developers were trying to avoid the floor babies in Sims 3. (And didn't we complain about that? Now, we look back on it with a bit of amused nostalgia.)
If they patched in baby improvements and then gave us a stuff pack for nurseries, I'd be counting down the days until I could buy it. I'd love any pack that would give us more stuff for ages from babies to teen.
Babies that grew and advanced, from rolling over on their tummies, learning to sit up, to being able to crawl.
Able to eat solid foods in a high chair.
Using walkers and playpens
Starting the potty training right before they aged into toddlers.
Walking. (All of my kiddos were walking by 13 months)
And so much more.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not writing them off yet. There's still time. I mean, look at how long it took them to give us toddlers. And if they are, or where to work on #liberatingthebabies they could make them the best version to date.
But I'm also not holding my breath. lol I mean, we still don't have pool activities, and we've been asking for some since The Sims. I mean, they even took away Marco Polo.
But yes, I think focusing on babies would be fun to many simmers, so such a pack could be cool
