How can we make pregnancy and infants more interesting? For this game or future ones

I think it can be much more fun!
I haven't played TS4 in a while (so maybe some features are already a part of the game I don't know about) , but I believe there is a feature where the mom is sad she isn't pregnant if she takes a test, right? Maybe a depressed moodlet if the sim hates children, but she is either happy or neutral if she doesn't have a family-related trait. I really love that feature and being able to breast feed. Here are some ideas I'd like:

A baby shower with options to have a gender reveal

Gender pinata!

Lots of different gender reveals are popular. An object like this gender balloon to reveal the gender would be really fun. In TS3 parents have a wish for wanting a girl or a boy specifically (dont remember if TS4 does) but they also get a boost in their initial relationship with their child from that. I'd love that!

Pregnancy classes

Couple pregnancy classes that can give an extra bonus to a child's skill learning when they're born or some other incentive to attend them

Midwives and ultrasounds

Midwife can live with the family and deliver the baby and a few days after. An ultrasound to find out the baby's gender and see if you're having twins


What else can you think of?

    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?!

    personally, I'd love gender reveal parties in-game! if they're implemented they probably should be separate from baby showers for people that don't want the gender reveals. as much as I want gender reveals though, I could see them not doing it because they're pushing the game as inclusive and people would flip if they were included.

    the game definitely needs ultrasounds and the ability to call the doctor while pregnant.

    @bythedreadwolf Quite a few of game the changers have actually been pretty vocal about getting better babies for a while now. I'm hoping that'll be a good indicator for the gurus that this is what a lot of people want.

    I just hope they're as vocal about it one twitter as they are on youtube. That's the only place where the gurus are looking.
