How is everyone doing with the infants?

Infants are giving me a headache with how needy they are and I’m not enjoying playing with them.

I haven't downloaded the patch yet and have yet to play with infants, but from what I've read they are much like toddlers, and become less needy once they reach their milestones. Maybe you could buy a robot nanny to help you look after them?

Sounds like how I feel sometimes with my 8 mos old granddaughter. ?

Except for the 'hate' part. ?

Playing with the Bheeda household and they had a daughter Yasmine who rolled the sensitive trait. Best part about it is she’ll sleep for hours and can for the most part do it on her own without her parents soothing her first. She got the quirks, Picky Eater: a bit annoying cause she’ll refuse to eat even if she’s hungry, Happy Spitter: mainly cosmetic nothing game changing, and Early Riser: works perfectly since she sleeps through the night. I’m really enjoying discovering how to take care of the infants. Yasmine is so different from my other infant who was wiggly and could not get to sleep on her own. I’ve been in a sims rut and this took me right out.

I am bored with them. The worst problem is the lack of ability to transport them. Infants force their caretakers to stay in the limited world that the infants exist in. Boring!

Are you not able to take infants everywhere with you? I thought that was one of the biggest perks of them? I haven't downloaded the update yet, so I'm not sure about how they work. If they can't travel with you, that sucks!

I do believe they travel with you. Hence the changing station on community lots.

@BetaMaxx what traits are your infants aging up to? Top Notch, Happy, or Neglected? Curious how simply aging up affects the trait.

@jmbhkc121284 From what I've read, that moodlet staying is a feature, not a bug. When their energy need is low, they need sleep, but sometimes they'll need a nap just for... mental rest? It's like they're getting overstimulated, so they get that moodlet that means they need a cuddle and a nap (not in the bassinet).

I love them! The game need desesperaly challenge, and this gives a bit of it, they feel like real babies!

I've seen quite a few simmers disappointed that infants don't do anything but from all of the ones I've known babies quite literally don't do anything?
Lol they eat, sleep, cry and go in the diaper until they are toddlers.
It's really a nice thing that they gave us all of the bonus stuff to do with them!
It's the same reason I never wanted babies because I figured they would be boring. However, this pack has long since changed my mind about them and I really love how they were implemented.
I definitely won't be having a lot of babies but will be keeping one infant in the family from now on. ❤
