I would like to address the controversy over the Hates Children trait and it being nerfed.
First and foremost, there is no such thing as consent in this game. The player is in full control over their pixel people. There is no way, without mods, for a sim to take advantage of another sim. The control and outcome is completely in the hands of the player. I wish you would consider this before nerfing a feature.
The dazed moodlet doesn't just appear when the sims is juiced. It is there when they're overly tired, when they had a rough day at school/work, when they're sick. There are a number of reasons beyond being juiced that a sim could be dazed.
Maybe instead of being dazed, you can change it to they will accept the have a baby interaction when they're completely and utterly "very happy". Like they're where they want to be in life and there is nothing more that could bring them joy...except maybe a child.
