What about more realistic childbirth?

  • While the cuddling the baby is cute, I wouldn't want anything else pertaining to realistic childbirth in my game.

    It's not something I need. I don't even need the Get to Work hospital birth. I rather focus on toddlers and kids than babies and pregnancy.
  • I like the way birth is done in game, it offers that element of surprise, baby is coming now, doesn't matter what plans you had made.

    Id like to see a midwife in game and I love that Sims 4 has the pregnancy test, but this all seems too much. Also besides that & the mod, Id also never, ever want to see any dangerous delivery in the sims or abortion. Never.


    there is no abortion in the mod and there is no danger to your sim @StrawberryYogurt

    Yeah I actually have seen the mod. It is saved on my list of mods to try out, I just haven't got to it yet.

  • Love the mod, makes me want to actually get my sims pregnant (+ the relationship and woohoo mod), but I also get that most don't want much more realism around this.

    However, I think there is a lot of room for improvement from a doctor in a permanent T pose and a partner that screams like a maniac for a moment and then walks off to nap, eat, watch tv or use the doctor's PC before it becomes "too realistic"
  • I don't understand why everyone is getting so disgusted by this. I think whimisicalness is a big part of the sims, and shouldn't be taken away in entirety, but I think a realistic *silly* birth would work well too rather than the machine we have. Ie this mash I made: https://ibb.co/RbYkmTr

    Not only that. Chores or realistic mundane stuff are far away from current players preferences
  • Maybe they could add the option for water birth in the hot tub while giving birth at home and the mother could invite everyone to participate. Also, it would be nice if we could take baby pictures for the family album.
