The new infants are so great. To me it feels like they kinda make newborns unneeded, especially when you have growing together and infants can do basically nothing at the start. The way they develop feels very organic. So I am inclined to just skip the newborn stage and age newborns up to infants right away. I do think that the update for newborns was nicely done, it makes me almost feel guilty for trying to move onto the infant stage right away.So I would like to ask how other simmers do this. When I say skip an age I mean age up straight away.

This is how I feel about infants and newborns at the moment but maybe I will start playing newborns again in a few months or a year. I really like the look of the new bassinet but since newborns are still tied to the bassinet, I like to grow them up so they can visit relatives and friends. I am more interested in seeing my youngest sims grow through milestones.

I enjoy the breather of box baby before moving on to chaos. They can be safely ignored without guilt while my sims get ready to have time for infants.

I keep it a newborn for a day or two, and move onto infant and toddler as usual

Depends on if it's an aging on or off game - off, I skip newborn, always have, so I can start collecting skills and traits - and now milestones. On, they stay newborns until their birthday.

My sim just had a baby and I played the newborn lifestage and am now playing the infant one. I think I probably will always play both. I mean, it's only a newborn for like a sim day and a half now.

Do you still play newborns now that we have infants

I think I stopped with newborns when toddlers were brought in but still might take a photo from time to time, now as soon as I can age up bye for them so they are just fine as a placeholder :D

I play with aging off and all my sims remain in their life stages for a very long time. I have plenty of time to enjoy both the newborn and infant stages.

I wouldn't be opposed to playing newborns but I'm generally not much of the baby type and never really had one because there was nothing to do with them.
Infants are too cute not to have one so I just have one perminate infant that will probably be an infant for a few years ?.
I generally enjoy playing with all the different lifestages because they all feel individual. Especially now since each one feels more defined now. Newborn is the only one I don't feel like I'm missing anything by skipping it.

With aging on or off, I play both. If aging is off, I age the newborn up when it feels right. With aging on, I just do it when the birthday pops up on the calendar.
