I agree with you @Katofhyrule12 that it's not a needed item and you can play without one. For me it is more of a core item and if my Sims can afford it I'd for sure like them to have one.
The changing table and baby stuff is deeper than it first seems. The items that parents buy define the type of parent they are. Parents have an instinct to prepare a nest. It is one of our most primal urges. To not have access to a changing table or to choose not to have one says something significant about a parent.
Until I started writing a post for this thread, I did not fully understand how important the changing table is to the Sims. We need hearing aids and we need birth marks and yes, we do need basegame changing tables for the sim parents that would never never NEVER bring a baby home to a nursery without a changing table. I didn't realize that until this thread. I get it now. Maybe the gamemakers didn't fully understand that either. Maybe they need to be approached in a way that they can understand.
