As the title says...
I wouldn't mind if babies were freed from the bassinet.

Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
And for my playstyle my sim never even have babies lol. I had a pregnant sim once in 2015 just to see what it was like. That was the end of that😅😅😅
Honestly I believe they are coming either way and I'm fine with that.
This is a LIFE simulation game, how can you NOT INCLUDE the VERY START OF LIFE, as a baby. Its just BEYOND me that they went with this decision - more like ran out of time to make it any differently as they rushed to launch...
I'd much prefer the developers work on something that's actually useful... like, I don't know, fixing the dozens of bugs that are currently in the game... or adding features that would actually change the gameplay (like cars, farming, werewolves, amusement parks, etc). If we're gonna focus on improving a specific life stage, it should be teenagers... they literally need the most improvement right now. The fact that they're treated like mini adults is ridiculous!
I don't see the point in wasting time "freeing" babies from the basinets when most players are still just gonna age them up within a day or two anyway.

Asside from personally having zero interest in more baby gameplay, I don't think they stay babies long enough in Normal lifespan to be worth it. I know you can play on long life or with aging off, but when designing a feature for the game I think they need to consider what works on the default normal lifespan.
I do want them freed. It's sad they're just stuck there. And you can still age them up really fast if you want, but it provides a better experience for the people who do want it. Personally I'm a family player but age babies up super fast because I'm very impatient and don't like managing them or toddlers. Lol. I'd probably still age them up fast if they were freed.
I think a lot of these wishes comes from boredom and a habit of continually ask for something. It would be nice if the forum is used for another purpose than to repeat in eternity the same demands. The babies in TS3 were so cute, and that game can still be played if wanted. I see no reason to iterate features over and over; but appreciate when the game presents new gameplay. We are getting rental as well as living lots now, how fun!
I, personally, wouldn't want them to be taken out of the bassinet unless there were more interactions. I'd like to be able to play with them on the floor, try to teach them to roll-over on their bellies, play with toys, play peek-a-boo, etc. I wouldn't want them to stay as a "new born" forever, but as a developing infant.

Just speaking for myself, but in Sims 2 and 3 my babies were babies for 1-2 sim weeks. It has sucked not being able to fully interact with the babies.

This claim, with how much "Yes" is defeating "No" in this poll, doesn't hold fruit.
Your claim, while ignoring the rest of my comment where I point out that people are only complaining about this because they want something to complain about, doesn't hold up either.
What exactly do you all plan to do with babies if they're freed from the bassinets? I'd love to hear it... all I can think of is giving them like one or two baths in the sink, and then aging them up because that would get boring after doing it a couple times.

What exactly did you (or do you) plan on doing with babies for 1-2 Sim weeks? Because even in Sims 2 and Sims 3, their gameplay was extremely limited and had almost nothing of true value.

In what ways do you recall "playing" with babies in Sims 2 and Sims 3? Because I certainly don't remember any depth gameplay with them in either game... babies have always been the most boring life stage. All you can do is feed them, change their diaper, and bathe them.
People are constantly complaining about wanting to "free" babies, but never give any reasons to why it should be done. I've yet to hear any examples of gameplay "freeing" babies would provide.

Have you read the responses though? Many of the 'yes' are saying in their comments that they age babies up early and would continue to do so. I think the poll needed a 'I dont care' option.
THANK YOU!
I have no idea how so many 'yes' responses somehow equates to my point not making sense... people are still gonna end up aging their babies within a day or two, regardless... the fact that many people still want the babies "freed", despite that, doesn't make a difference.

The only extra thing I remember being able to do with babies in Sims 2 was bathe them, other than that I think they had fewer interactions than the bassinet, and the thing where sims left them on the floor all the time was incredibly annoying.
