    Sims who were raised in the same household (an orphanage in this case) but are not related will still get sibling rel bits when they grow up. I don't know if this is a bug but it was very fitting for my story.

    I almost got it. But routing error happened and it didn't happen.

    You need a chair for this. So feel free to put a dining chair unattached to a table to the baby room.

    That is Parenthood game pack feature, but yeah, I think it's rather there to show with whom they grew up with (as it's been so since the game pack released). Thus all the adults there get the special parent relationship and all the younger sims get the special sibling relationship.

    I am struggling in getting the toddler's first nightmare & first friend. Any tips from anyone?

    I just found out yesterday that you don't have to have all the infant milestones to age up to a toddler! I caked up an infant who couldn't walk or talk, and they got walking courtesy of being a toddler, and then I was able to keep babbling until I got talking. I had a colicky infant and I'd spent two real-life days to get the @#[email protected]#$ thing ready to age up.

    What infant milestones do is help to get some jumpstart in toddler skills (motor, thinking, and communication). Of course you don't need all the milestones, but more milestones mean more toddler skills to start the toddler off.

    • Remove nightlights near toddler beds. Also, the less the toddler has thinking skill, the more likely are they to have nightmares.
    • I don't know about first friend... Find another household with a toddler and have your toddler befriend them I guess...

    Adding to the top one, Sims can also reminense on a marriage certificate if they broke up with their partner as well.

    I had a toddler who had 100 percent relationship with another toddler and I still didn't get the milestone for first friend.

    I can’t get this one either, and I doubt I ever will with the toddler I’m playing now, as he has the heavy sleeper quirk (won’t wake up from loud noises or nightmares it says).

    Having science baby doesn't count as having a baby?

    but on more positive note although I forgot to screenshot it
    your sims get popups to like jokes when they are told joke by sim they like its really sweet
    I assume this happens with other interactions too

    Infants will watch the laundry go round and round in the washing machine. Cute but annoying when they’re supposed to be eating they’re oaty Os because they’re hungry LOL

    I think they might have changed the ability to spam toddler actions either with the patch or the pack. Tried getting my toddler to learn communication quickly and he talked once to his dinosaur and then wandered off. Same with the slide - down once and then off to something else, ignoring that I’d asked him to go down the slide five times! It’s going to make getting toddler skills a little harder if that’s the case and not just my toddler being difficult!

    Did you know … toddlers can steal finger foods from infants. My eldest just nicked his little sister’s banana slices!

    Once an infant can roll from their backs to their tummy and then back to their back, you can basically let them do tummy time alone to reach creep and crawling stages faster. Your sim does not have to be present every time. Also in the beginning your sim can just leave them on the playmat and then you can direct the infants to look at toy and later on play with toy so they reach their reaching, grabbing and pinching milestones. So really your sims don't have to micro manage the infants as much as everyone thinks ;)

    Did you know that the song lean on me is on the sims 4 growing together and did you know that was the song I learned in music class in fourth grade when I was 10 years old

    Yes, this is so exciting for gameplay. I made my sim have a sister who didn't take care of her child so my sim adopted her kid. I was surprised it didn't have any bugs or random glitches.

    The power outage hasn't happened for me yet. Do you know if it's very common?

    Did you know … some quirks are visible in the behaviour of newborns? I have noticed that newborns who need more feedings get the healthy appetite quirk. I noticed it first on my twins where one newborn needed three feeds to the other’s two - the one who had more feeds got healthy appetite almost immediately on aging up to infant. The next baby also needed constant feeding and got the same quirk. The other children had normal times between feeding and none of them have the trait.

    Edit: my last (of 6 kids) seemed to be hardly hungry at all as a newborn, she has just gotten the picky eater infant phase.

    I found out due to my sims automous action that the sims can put the infant to sleep while in the bathtub.
