Baby Showers?

Note:
Anything regarding babies/toddlers/children in The Sims can also be mentioned here.


I don't know why, but I've always wanted Baby Showers in The Sims!

Like, if you're female Sim became pregnant, you should be allowed to throw a party titled as a baby shower, or you could throw the party until the baby is a toddler. (Meaning you have until the baby is a toddler to throw the Baby Shower). And you would invite friends/families that would give your Sim gifts that go from a crib, to toys the baby can use when they are a child.

I don't know, I just think it would be a cute addition to the game(:
Anybody else agree or have any other thoughts/anything to add?

SimChic1 suggested that there should be baby registries, too, if they add it in where you can have Baby Showers(: She said you could go to the computer and there could be something like "Make/Edit Registry" then a thing comes up like there is when you are shopping for groceries. That way, guests bring you what you want, and you don't have to worry about duplicates of things you already bought, if any.

DurrDurr123 had suggested that when both parents are gone, you should be able to allow your toddler to have a "play date" with another family member or neighbor. Or if you just need a baby sitter, you should be allowed to have the Grandparents or a close friend watch the toddler instead of calling a baby sitter. Cause, let's face it, nobody calls a baby sitter as much as Sims do xP

    Sounds good to me. :) more party options is always a plus for me.

    and you don't have to worry about buying any baby stuff. Now you can save up for a brand new car. Lol

    I LOVE this idea and hope they implement it. I love baby showers and my party loving sims would really appreciate this feature! What fun!

    Yes, I agree! More party options needed for TS4. :)

    I'd love this but it would need to be implemented properly. I wouldn't want 6 friends all turning up with cribs to give me. :lol: I hope we get strollers in the base game and that the baby mat from Sims 2 makes a return for our recently re-limbed infants. *Nudges Sims 4 team* ;)

    I was so disappointed when TS3 didn't have baby showers :( Maybe when the guest give you presents, they can be stuff you can't usually buy through the game (without using the buydebug cheat) so that way, if you decide to buy something before the shower, you won't have to worry about a duplicate item :-) Oh, and the higher the relationship with the guest, the better the gift.

    I'm glad people love the idea!(:

    I was pretty disappointed when TS3 didn't have Baby Showers. I was really hoping it would have them :S. Hopefully TS4 will!(:

    @alexspoom13 - 6 cribs at once would be funny, yet annoying at the same time xP I use to play The Sims 2, but I don't fully remember the baby mat. But it would be nice for the babies to have more items, either way!

    @Pandagirl9449 Lol exactly! Or taking over the town by buying/owning every building and park (If they will still include the feature)

    @SimChic1 Agreed! And/or the wealthier, the better the gift as well.

    I like this idea. :D

    I'd love to have more party types and I agree with alexspoom13 that strollers should to be included in the base game.
    But TheSims team would need to add more stuff to the game for babies if there was to be a 'Baby' shower party type; swingers, baby monitors, baby baths etc. { like the ones in the store} in the base game, your inventory would just be piled up with cribs, teddy bears and posters.
    :shock:

    Love it! also very doable! i would like them to add more things to do for pregnants.. like checkups, vitamins (to take in certain hour).. talk to their baby on the mirror.. maternity clases, getting advices from other sims too.

    I'd love that. It could be done in a similar way to the seasons winter gift party where a gift table spawns and attendees come in, place gifts and when you're ready, the mom to be clicks on it and only she opens the gifts. They'd all be baby or child related but could range in price and value.

    I was just commenting about this in another thread earlier today. This needs to happen... along with more playability for preggo sims and babies/toddlers.

    I get so bored with pregnant sims and babies because they're so limited.

    As long as there are toys and helpful items you can only get this was, so as to make it worthwhile, I see no reason it can't be used by all players and be fun.

    I just came up with another idea. They could add registries. Your sim could go to the computer, click an option that could be something like "Make/Edit Registry" then a thing pops up like if you were shopping at the grocery store, and you can click off the items you want. That way, guest actually bring you stuff you want and you won't worry about duplicates.

    I just thought of another idea! I was thinking that if there are a group of teenage friends, idk at a sleepover or something, maybe they couple play 'truth or dare' or 'spin the bottle'. I would think that is what most teens do. The kids could perphaps play 'duck duck goose' idk about you but I think sims could use a couple more games! :D

    I always thought it'd be cool if you could buy diapers and formula, like how you have to buy groceries and if you didn't have it you would be charged. If there were baby showers you could get those as gifts O_O

    That would be awesome and cute! {Cute going towards duck duck goose xD} There isn't very much children and teens can do, really. Adn I love having my Sims' legacy live on, so having children is something I love to have in my game. But, it gets boring quick :S I want Generations, don't know if I should get it or not htough.
