So with all the talk/demands for better babies, I'm curious to see what the distribution is of people who want better babies and how they play.
I also broke "better Babies" down to two different levels: Cosmetic only (changing what object they're attached to, changing their appearance in CAS) and "More Gameplay Actions" (Teaching, washing, playing as, etc.) Presumably, if you want more gameplay actions, you also want cosmetic changes.
Do more Simmers who want Better Babies play on Long Life/aging off? 161 votes

I would like to have :
1. more interactions to do with babies
2. cute nursery furniture
(say having mermaid themed cribs for example)
3. gameplay objects to use with babies for fun and social need (say strollers for example which yes should also be available for toddlers)
4. just way to get the baby out of the crib and change crib whenever i like to match rest of the nursery if i get more kids than i bargain for
5.maybe possibility to see babies needs to make role of mighty watcher easier but i doubt i will get that so rip
what i don't want however
1. lifestage between baby and toddler... don't see point of that
2. some overboard things that force perfectionist players to keep their babies as babies for longer than they want like say baby aspirations or something as ridiculous toddlers are enough grind

I play with aging off, by the way. I like to age my sims up when I choose.
I would LOVE for babies to be detached from their prison-bassinet. There was a playmat and a highchair that baby could be placed in that allowed for the infant to play, available in the Sims 2 Store. The highchair/play chair was good for the attending Sim to be able to fix a meal. Babies do need to be bathed. It was fun to watch a Sim hold the newly fed infant above their head and for baby to spit-up all over said Sim. Bathing them in the sink was also fun, plus it promoted a growth in relationship between the attending Sim and the baby.
If another life stage is considered, it should be the Infant stage, where a baby learns how to sit up and crawl. Also, they should have a walker to place them in wherein the baby can scoot around the room, too. If not included, we don't need such a life-stage. What we have now is a never-ending newborn stage.
Babies should be babies, again and not an object as they are now. They may have several interactions, but they aren't a smooth transition. You shouldn't have to place the baby back into the bassinet, just to remove them again for the next interaction. Face/palm. Please untether the child.

I like having the baby safely in one place for parents to grind parenting skill and relationship on it for three days. No real use for "freed babies."
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

I don't need to play for more time in the toddler stage and i def don't need another stage in the first years. I will problaby age babies up anyway.
But... i do want the baby revolution to happen for all the people that wants it. Like i said before, it won't change my game.
As a reflexion, and considering the answers before me, it does look that players that use smaller lifespans are kind of indifferent while long lifestage players do care more for a revamped baby stage...
Yep, which is roughly the response I was expecting, but it's nice to get it confirmed.

Other useful items I’d like that babies can interact with are, a blanket that can be put on the floor or couch to lay the baby on, a bouncer, a walker, a blanked with toy above, a snuggly for parents to wear and put baby in, a stroller and a baby buggy. Please let us take babies with us when we shop or vacation. It would be nice if baby could learn to turn over. I want to be able to carry the baby around like a real sim.
Personally, I'm not too fussed, but I play on normal. If they did anything to make the babies more interesting though I'd play with them more for sure.
Yes, this is exactly what I'd like for Sims 4. Babies in Freeplay used to be more like our current babies until they were updated. Now they can be carried, allowed to crawl, play on playmats, use changing tables, etc. While there is only one lifestage, depending on what you do with them, it can feel like the baby is getting older as you choose to do more things.
The only additional thing I would want is some interaction between the babies and toddlers. Freeplay omitted that.
I play with aging off.
But at the same time I wouldn't be dissapointed if they never got updated because I'm all about the teens and kids. I use adults for supervision and money makers only. I have one elder. Two toddlers just because they're so cute and I love dressing them lol
But the rest are teens and kids trying to survive the apocalypse and raise themselves lol. My stories always comes back to that😆 hard to fit babies and toddlers in there.
Once they update them (cause I'm 99% sure they will) I will definitely add one to the family though! Maybe make the teens struggle to raise one they saved during the apocalypse 😈
And I want a stroller so bad ugh. Would be amazing for family outings.
