  • You can't switch after they're born (unless you move the household). If you want to control which bassinet they use, place it in the lot before the birth and they'll spawn into it. If there's no bassinet present when they're born, they'll spawn one themselves - special supernatural ones if they're supernatural, or one of the base game ones at random if not.

    If you really want to change the bassinet after they're born, I think you can try this:

    1. Move the household out.

    2. Then while the lot is empty, edit it and swap out the bassinet.

    3. Then move the family back in.

  • Go onto build mode and select your preferred bassinet. Now the scary bit, save before you do this in case it doesn’t work, go back into live mode and shift click on bassinet and destroy object. This will MOMENTARILY get rid of the baby from view. Then go onto manage worlds, don’t save, and then renter into the household and the baby should appear in the bassinet left behind that you chose.
