Are they ever going to update babies?

I think they did work on improving babies, I recall a guru at one point stated that free babies was not what they would announce at a certain patch event, due to speculations, and I think that was about the time they did work on it - as if it was still in the works but not yet ready. So, if they decide to ditch it, I expect them to announce that we will not get free babies. Untill then, I keep expecting them ;)

If that's the case then they are also working on cars since everytime people speculate about cars they always say "not this time"

Unless they say that they are working on them specifically, and not just "we are listening to the community" I don't believe that they are coming. 7 years have passed now, they have to show that they are interested and are able to do it after such a long time.

I'm not that into updated babies, but it could be fun if you could do a little bit more with them, such as move them on a play mat or something. I'd use that and I think something like that is possible to add in game and they could do it. I just wonder whether people would be happy with it or just complain that it's not enough and whether they want to add something like that if the reception is possibly bad.

I'm not playing babies a lot, mostly I feed them (if required) then ignore them and switch to a different house :) A play mat sounds good. Perhaps being able to be seated while holding the baby. I don't really expect a lot, ie strolling would be more fun with toddlers.

I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that they will update them at some point. The object babies really do break the immersion of family play for myself and I’m sure many other simmers.

I really really hope that they finally make the Babies playable. Also, I still want the Plantsim to eventually become a CAS Lifestate. Furthermore, bring back Werewolves, Fairies, Genies, Spiral Stairs & Heartshape Bed.

Babies are currently objects, you can't just add a few interactions like with upgrading a toilet. And your Sims would be GIVING BIRTH to that new lifestate rather than giving birth to an object, so they'd need changing too.

It's like with toddlers. They're pretty much creating a new lifestate, and that lifestate will be basegame and need updates and new things to do and occasionally new clothes.

All for free. And we all know how EA is about free things.

And then they'd probably need to make a few packs for them, like with Parenthood and Kid's Room coming out right after Toddlers.

So, gotta remember that it does take TIME. Although it is also one of the things that should have been done much sooner.

What they should be doing is since this neighborhood stories is comming nov 30 is since almost anyone can have babies on the game they should he freeing toddlers from the lots so these todds can be seen in the game more often then just being stuck at home...I think it would be funny to see a tired or hungry toddler throwing a fit somewhere and it would be fun to have them have a supper at a restaurant with your sim and to be able to take them to the park etc whats the point of having all these babies if these todds cant even go anywhere ?‍♂️?‍♀️

We still dont even know if they work on a baby Update. But all of a sudden they share what they do behind closed doors, which they rarely or even never do and its only customization tools, which is cool too, but how long does it really take. I feel like after 7years we should know if we will ever get babys. I thought that after the 2020 Backlash and them addressing that a majority wants improved babys, cars and bunk beds, they would do the follow up on all of these things, but of course the gameplay got the short stick.

So they only started working on babys in 2020 and ignored all of the feedback about babies years upon years, because no one can tell me that they have been working on babies for 7years. I mean if they gonna keep this silence, about if they come or not come, after 10 years of the sims 4 , i might drop out, because that would be ridicouluss.
