At what cost for Free Babies?
This is all hypothetical, and I'm not trying to upset people or coming down against free babies. But When it comes to freeing the babies, I'm sure there are a variety of ideas as to how it would...

For me, while I'd love a new life stage, I would be find with babies just being replaced by a new object baby with new interactions where you can move the object (the baby) in more ways. Think of books - a sim can read a book sitting at a table with the book on the table, sitting in a sofa or a chair with the book in their hands, and they can put the book down on any surface in the game. Why would the same not be doable for a baby-object? That wouldn't be replacing one asset with another type of asset but replacing it with a new asset of the same type, that had more interactions tied to it.
* The baby could be placed in various types of basinets or cribs
* Or on play mats, baby seats and strollers
* You could add a changing table with interactions
* You could carry your baby around, maybe in a baby carrier
* You could sit down and feed your baby
* You could bring your baby with you when you leave the house (to visit or on vacation)
Again, none of this requires a sim-baby - just an object with many more interactions.
I would assume that it's doable, because all other sims are objects, too. They're just fancier ones. But I would also think the developers must weigh the viability of one thing against so many other things in a game with so many, many complicated and interlocking parts that already exist or are planned to be added later. New packs (especially ones that introduce new game mechanics and interactions) already often introduce new bugs, after all. It's no wonder that even highly requested features should be given a great amount of time and care and thought before even being hinted at for inclusion in some future pack.
As for me, I personally don't like babies in games at all (not just this game), so I'm neither thrilled at the prospect of improved ones nor will I be disappointed if we won't get them. I only hope that if we do eventually get them, I won't be in any way forced to do all that baby stuff in which I have no interest at all.
you can always age babies up, I am sure you can still do this when we have them as real sims
One can always hope. I do age babies up now, and it would seem logical to expect I could do it later as well. But not every new feature in this game is implemented in a logical fashion, so it's really anybody's guess.
