    What will be in the base game? Will sims characteristics be included & conversation likes & dislikes?

      As far as I understand the base game update will raise the limit for likes and dislikes from 20 to 50
      The growing together pack will bring sims characteristics and conversation likes

      I think base game is getting the new dialogue pie chart, the updated newborns and the base game version of infants. Also getting the like/dislike limit raised, science babies and some of the infant furniture and items like sensory toys and improved high chair.

      I finally managed to update and had a quick look on buy mode. I think the play mat must be pack exclusive as I couldn’t find it anywhere.

      I think so. It was only shown in growing together trailers and it seems quite closely tied in with how the infant learns milestones and improves its mobility which is a pack only thing. The carrier is pack only too. Not sure about changing table.

      Base Game Update doesn't have Changing Tables or Dynamics.

      Yeah, that makes sense. I’m holding off on playing infants until I download the pack.

      In case anyone is interested to see which items come with the patch, you can find an overview here on sims community. I actually missed a few last night like the llama and a few decorations

      Science babies? Is that like cloning or IVF?

      TYSM for this. I was having a devil of a time finding the new stuff.

      You can choose to have a science baby with one sim or with two sims. In both cases you will get a baby almost right away.

      It is not exactly IVF because there is no pregnancy and the baby is instantaneous. I think this feature is meant to represent surrogacy because there is no pregnancy.

      Is like TS3 Into the Future, when go to Oasis Landing lab to have a baby

      (yah, at ST3 that was the only option without mods to have biological baby at same sex couple, and at TS4 no need customize gender to have baby in this way)

      Lumpinou just came out with a mod to give you the choice of going through pregnancy or having the baby immediately if you choose to have a science baby.

      Yes, I already know about that one. I might actually give it a try if that allows me to have a birth certificate for the science baby by delivering at the hospital

      I figured since they included that tummy time mat in BG that we’d get the interaction, but nope, it’s just a rug if you don’t get the expansion. disappointing.
