Baby removed from crib shown in new render #freethebabies

If they free the babies, I hope they will add new skintones for them so that they can inherit on of their parents' skin colour. It would be even greater if they could also inherit eye and hair colour. This was one of the main reasons I felt so attached to my Sims 2 babies. Now you cannot see whether the offspring looks more like their Mum or Dad before they reach the toddler stage. I can understand that some people directly age up their babies.

They should definitely update the baby model!

I really wish that the babies in TS4 were more like the ones in TS2, with the added option of traits + pushchair like in TS3. Being able to interact with the baby, walk around with them, take them out in a stroller, bathe them in a sink etc. would be so amazing to me.

The life stage doesn't have to be long, just like it wasn't very long in TS2, but it has so much potential to be more than what it is. I'd love to see the return of The Bouncinator 3000 and The DangleMaster Deluxe. I also read elsewhere about the option to 'change clothes' with a choice of selected preset clothing and that sounds really great too. It'd also be nice to reintroduce changing tables, have a better selection of bedding etc.

In general I feel that the babies-children life stages are still very underdeveloped and lacking in basic things, like interactions with other sims that are their age or younger/older. Even the teens-adult life stages don't feel incredibly distinguished from one another - perhaps a School and/or University EP will help with the teen or young adult stages.

Either way, the babies deserve better - I hope one day they will be freed, lest they get bedsores.

I get what people are saying about them doing the freed babies in previous renders, but am I the only one noticing that in the newest renders the babies look different?? The older renders with the babies look like the ones we have in game now. The renders we got recently look nothing like the babies in game..

The baby look slightly bigger.

A lot of us want babies untied from the crib, but do you think it will make the baby lifestage much better? I mean, they are still objects in Sims 4. Being able to carry them around the house will not make them that much more entertaining imo.

Now if they decide to;
A ) Free them from the cribs
B ) Make more things for them i.e. changing table, strollers, toys etc.
C ) Maybe different clothes
D ) Being able to bathe them
E ) All in all make them not just objects..

THAT would be a real improvement imo. I think it will be nice to free them from the cribs for a day but it will get the same old again if they don't decide to do a complete overhaul to them, which I think is extremely unlikely to happen sadly :/

And about the baby in the renders; don't get your hopes up too much because of that, because like some people already mentioned; they have been using this baby in renders for a very long time.

I would not be surprised if this was a hint. Back when toddlers were not released, as someone mentioned before in this thread, the CEO's family was rendered with a toddler. Same with babies out of the cribs- they have appeared in renders before too. I am sure they have been working on babies, but it just takes time. Not crossing my fingers right now tho. I do hope they are coming- they are like a piece of furniture at the moment.

I hate the way they are an object hope they change that this year :)

To be honest I'd rather my sim kids had the ability to yank each other's hair out like the two in the render are trying to do. :P

It's maybe the reason why their skins are so glitchy. They are maybe working on them and it causes bugs.

Nope I still remember a time after release where two black parents would get a white baby model and vice versa :D It has always been glitchy and not every of the new skin tones is present (the ones added in patch & the vampire ones)

Am I the only one who dont want the babies freed? Im gonna blink and next think I know some rando dun took my baby out its bed and now the baby roaming around!
