Re: In EP13 Growing Together how do infants learn to crawl?

@iheartsandwiches I had the same problem. I tried to find the option under 'Baby care' but it wasn't there. I found it under 'friendly > activities'. You'll find other interactions such as: Tummy time, learn to stand.

    I have played this update and expansion pack now for over 1 week and I know it works,but it does cost a lot of time! You need to go over and over with the infant again and again. Please be patient with the little one. You have to do tummy time and tummy time and when she/he learns a lot of milestones you see under activities learn to crawl or learn to stand etc. Than you can learn the little one how to crawl. It's absolutely taking a lot of days (my sim had to take a holiday for it) and it works.Perhaps it doesn't work if you have CC or mods in the game? Just asking?

    @monique23051 It's not so much a matter of being "patient" with a little pixel pudding person, it's the fact that it takes too long. They zoom through every other milestone, but crawling? Nah, they need to spend their entire lifecycle on this one little thing.
    And yes, I know that IRL babies grow at different rates. But this is a game, not real life. >.>

    Yes you're right about that because my infant took literally the whole time she had until she grew up and then I could get her to crawl and stand up! That's why I said you have to be very patient...Someone said it wasn't gonna happen,well my infant did. PS I play on short life time

    I can confirm this. I am playing on long lifespan. I did tummy time and all possible activities every single day and she started to crawl only 7 days before aging up. For me it is okay, i think it is kinda realistic that it takes time until she figures out everything. I agree with the patient part as well. These are infants. Be patient and practice every day. They will manage. ^.^ Oh and i don't know how much it influence the little ones speed of progression, but my infant has the "Intense" trait. 🙂

    You can be patient and practice every day and still not get there.  My infant is on average lifespan.  I've done tummy time with her numerous times every day, but she hasn't crawled, scooted, or even been able to sit in the high chair.  Hold Head Up is the highest milestone she's reached, and she's fixing to age up to toddler.  They're right, this takes too long.  I haven't even had an option for anything like "learn to crawl" or "learn to stand."

  • so what will happen to those who disabled the choice to age up? The infant will forever be in the state they can't crawl?

    I only age my sims through forced interaction like cheats or the cake brithday.

    I wanted her to learn to crawl before age up to toddler

    exactly...all my other milestones were quicker and had the circle of progress on top of their heads...with crawling I am not getting any circle at all and I have waited until my 19th day as an infant also..there is clearly a bug in this action that most of us are getting. I don't have any mods in my game.
