Really, in TS2, I never much cared for the Baby stage, simply because the entire stage is sleep, cry, poop, cry, bathe in a sink every once in a while, and goodness help you if your fool sims carry them anywhere in the house outside of the nursery when you have autonomy on, because as soon as Mom or Dad sees something shiny, on the floor Junior goes. In short, they plum. That's the main reason why I think that taking Babies out of the crib is really overrated. More realistic? Sure it is. However, the out-of-crib gameplay for Babies has been...lacking...in the past. So lacking, that they might as well have been objects as far as I'm concerned.
I can only get on the "Free Baby" bandwagon if I see things like Babies learning to crawl, showing personality traits (Some Babies being more fussy, others more quiet, some being giggly and smiley, others being kind of stoic...you know, because even as infants, people still have personalities. In simplistic base state, but personalities all the same.), and just basically being more active on their own as individual sims (they don't need to be as independent as Toddlers, nor should they be, but developing their skills to a place where they can crawl, sit up, hold a bottle, and other simple tasks that infants in real life can do at various points before their first birthday would be nice). Otherwise, I don't really care. If they won't be made more interesting, individual, and active, then keep them in the crib for all I care.
With you all the way. When it comes to fixing the bugs, glitches, and things badly done the rug rats are at the bottom of my list. There are way too many problems far too important to tend to than baby liberation.
