Babies/Toddlers..........First, let me start by saying pregnancy should be related to how a baby comes out (as in Sims 3). But we could put a spin on it. For example, a mother that was emotional during pregnancy could have a fussy child etc. Since their toddler trait is temporary maybe the same could be for the baby stage. With that being said, what the baby does at this stage should equate to the temporary trait that they get when they age into toddlerhood. The Sims 4 should be an evolution. Heck, I'll even take a colic baby that just wants to be held all the time or a gassy baby that just reeks, or maybe the perfect little angel who never cries. Anything but the inanimate objects in the corner of the room. A daycare career would be Amazing. Having to deal with all the different types of children and keep them happy would be hard but fun sims who chose this field may be family oriented but not be able to have children or have their own children that they have successfully nurtured.
Items needed:
MOTORIZED SWINGS (could be upgraded to add different speeds and music) for babies and toddlers for entertainment and character development. babies who spend a lot of time in swing could turn into wild toddlers. toddlers in a swing can develop their movement skill. Having babies just lay in a crib all day is unrealistic. They need to be a part of the family.
PLAYPEN could be used for babies and toddlers. Placing babies them in there can be tummy time, while for toddlers it could be to keep them contained or to have them play with mirrors, toys, and other toddlers. Babies that spend a lot of time in the playpen can turn into independent toddlers.Toddlers with the wild trait never really get frustrated and pent up because they have the power to just go outside anytime they want. Putting them in a Swing or a playpen would bring their trait out more.
DIAPER CHANGING/TUB STATION could be used for babies and toddlers. Just think about the possibility of diaper rashes, explosive diapers, cheap diapers, cloth diapers, run out of diapers (haha) the reality of things is babies stink. Do something fun like have to clean the crib. Any parent knows that sometimes you need a hose after certain diapers.
WALKERS for obvious reasons for toddlers
STROLLERS for babies and toddlers for strolls or jogging. how can I walk my dog but can't take my baby for a jog/stroll?
BOUNCY CHAIRS for babies for entertainment
BABY SLINGS for babies and toddlers. could be very handy for breastfeeding mothers. using a baby sling too much could make the baby turn into a clingy child.
CRIBS for babies and toddlers because toddlers who can't walk yet don't have the ability to climb onto beds. moving to a toddler bed should be after they reach level 3 in the movement skill. like a milestone. the crib that is sent over if you give birth at home should be the cheapest less comfortable version. we should be able to give the babies & toddlers more sleep options just like kids/teens/adults have.
ROCKING CHAIRS can be used to read to, cuddle with, sing to a child, soothe after a nightmare, just rock with, tell a story to babies and toddlers. They can also be used for parents to rock themselves and their fussy baby or toddler to sleep.
Kids/Teenagers................Afterschool signups to help with certain skills. Ballet/dance, photography/art, sports/fishing, music, chess club, debate club, drama club. They could even have a voidcritter club. Those would be cool. Kids having recitals, games, or competitions would be something to break up the monotony of home/school/homework. Parents could get the proud parent moodlet. I like that the teens can have jobs, don't change that. Even doing something like parent/teacher night where the parents go to the school (of course we would not follow them) kind of like when they go volunteering.
Thanks for reading my ramblings! Happy Simming.
