Baby Cribs

You saved me from saying that same thing! Nowadays the PacNPlays are the 'in' thing to use over the basic crib.

Maybe we'll get more baby furniture when babies are freed up a little. Until then, it's a very short space of time.

Here's a true story about my baby:
When she was a new born, I had her sleep in the laundry basket before I got to borrow a pretty bassinet.
When she grew out of it at 3 months old I got her a crib & a playpen.
When she was about 2 years old she slept in my old bed not a toddler's bed.
And, I even had a rocking recliner chair to rock my baby girl.

Aww sweet! I would love it if the toddlers could sleep in normal beds or even the babies with baby pillows! When my niece was a small toddler she always wanted to sleep in my laundry basket when I had folded clean warm towels in it and left it in the living room. She'd try to take a nap in it just like my cat lol.

I have no use for cribs period, even with babies. I consider them a peculiar 20th century notion that makes babies and parents miserable by separating them, going against evolutionary programming and instinct as many oddities of the 20th century did. But for those who like the idea, suit yourselves, and prepare to be up and down all night like a jack in the box because infant mammals are built to nurse and be in close contact with their mothers.

Vampiric and RoM cribs are much better in design. In addition, there is a mod that makes crib invisible, allowing you to place babies in CC ribs or on other objects.

Babies have been treated very badly in Sims4. I don't remember if we have seen anything new for them since the base game was released. I don't remember because I age them up to a toddler within hours of their birth. I think I do that for two reasons, number one being the fact they are tethered to an object that is unattractive and lacks style of any kind. Plus there is nothing to do with our Sim babies. I don't want to draw comparisons between iterations here, but I miss the various toys and activities the babies had that made playing with babies fun. The least the teams could have done was to add a mobile to the crib to make it seem as if the babies had more to do than lie in their bassinets and stare at the ceiling.

As someone already said, what we have now are bassinets, not cribs. I have mods for cribs, but I shouldn't have to download mods for basic furniture for babies. I want REAL cribs.

Also, I want crib options for toddlers but that's a whole 'nother conversation...
