Re: Love the New Infant Life Stage

I found infants are even more powerful tools for completely ruining the lives of my sims than toddlers were. Nice work!

I found out what terrible parents my Sims are... they should have thought twice about having a child. I do more parenting then they do. What parent leaves their infant laying on the floor then goes outside to lounge in the hot tub. Or, they let him get into the diaper pail, make a mess and leave him laying in it. When they saw what he did, they laughed. Jeez... :O

There is some serious cuteness overload, my favorite has to be food-experimentation and the interactions with pets 🥰

If you're a legacy player, did you start a brand new family for this update, or did you introduce your infants into an existing legacy save?

@khitteh 

I'd have to agree with you on this one- I don't think my Sim's have slept in about 4 days! I do love a bit of chaos in my gameplay though, so I'm finding this update to be a ton of fun to play with 😊

What's been the biggest challenge for your Sims so far, is it a messy house, lack of sleep, or managing too many kids? 

@PaQuilter1 

I can't even count the amount of times my Sims have left the baby on the floor to go play on the computer 😖 Sims have their priorities I suppose! 

My Sim parents were Professionals. He's a Doctor & she's a Judge. Maybe I would be having more fun if I started a new family. Unfortunately, I used 2 of my existing Legacy Sims. I should have thought this thru...It took the two of them over a year before they finally decided they should get married.  That was after years of being engaged. Now she's got the hots for hubby and there's no way those two are having more kids. My nerves couldn't take it. lol 🙂

I really loved my first experience with them! I tried to do my best to handle the situation for my infant and for my older sims, but at the end, the infant was crying, the father was crying and the babysitter was crying too! It seemed really funny to me, because I suppose that there are moments like that in parents' life.

I love the chaos too!

It's all of the above - adults can't sleep, the house is a trainwreck, and of course I made them have way too many kids all at once just to amplify the damage :3

It's hilarious! When I pan the camera onto their faces I swear my sims are pleading with me to stop and rescue them 🥳

@gooochyeee 

Unfortunately multi-tasking does not seem to be in my Sim's skill set, the baby ends up on the floor far more often than I'd care to admit 😅

This sound like a great photo-op though, if you manage to get a picture next time, please share with us! 

@PaQuilter1 

I went with a legacy save as well- this means for me my parents have ended up with some rather undesirable parenting traits. Mom unfortunately is squeamish, which is certainly not ideal for diaper changing or messy toddlers.

Are you having troubles as well with previous traits? If you start a new save instead and have better luck with a brand new family, let me know! 

@Heautontimoru 

That does sound a lot like real-life parenting, the infants really are a handful, aren't they? 😄 

Hoping your Sim's have got more of a handle on things now, and if not, best of luck once they hit the toddler stage! 

@khitteh 

I love all the hilarious situations your Sim's end up in with a chaotic house like this- my parents have recently been running away from all the kids to catch some sleep and quiet in the treehouse 😂

How many babies and kids have you added in? Maybe I should add one or two more....

I haven’t tried a new save. It’s a possibility if my Sim Parents don’t lose custody of their baby first. I’m going to keep going but I’m not sure my heart or nerves can handle the toddler stage. The baby got through the baby gate and was headed to the pool. Meanwhile, the parents were fooling around upstairs! The baby is a pint sized Houdini and gets out of everywhere. I tried over riding their autonomy but nothing works. I can’t imagine doing this for multiple families. I’d be pulling my hair out. Haha 😁😂
