I think these are great ideas! The sims 4 definitely needs some improvement on pregnancy and babies. I do worry
Had to correct your statement because your speaking for everyone as if that's a fact. With that said I find gender reveal parties weird as if there needs to be another party to get gifts from is the baby shower not enough.
I thought the gender reveal parties and baby showers are combined. Are people doing 2 parties?!
They are two separate things. Baby showers used to be simple and practical. Now they seem to have become more like the 'gender' reveal parties: ridiculous and over the top, and a sign of greed.
Traditionally, baby showers were to gift basic items to the mother-to-be. A basic layette, in white or cream, cute cardigan, booties, and cap sets, in white, cream, butter or mint... or peach, if your friend/family member was cruel.
Cloth nappies, as in, a stack of squares of white or striped flannelette. And maybe the accompanying safety pins, proper ones, with the lock mechanism. Maybe a Bunnikins dinner set, for when baby is older: Plate, bowl, drinking cup, and egg cup. A jr cutlery set, sometimes containing a knife, sometimes with just the fork and spoon. The best ones are metal, not plastic.
Sometimes the gifts were more for the mother, items to assist in breastfeeding, slippers, chocolates, etc.
Sometimes the gifts were baby toys.
But now it seems to be a competition as to who gets the most expensive gifts, and it's not about practicality, just money.
