The newborn and infant care is improved for me. When one adult has queued baby care actions, the other adults don't interrupt. They may stand and watch, which is fine. Before updates Mom would put the baby to bed then Dad would pick the baby up and started a crazy cycle of competing care. Thankfully, I have not had that recently.
Infant / Toddler autonomous actions still override Player's actions. Needs work.
Infant autonomously fussy because of low needs. Sim adult actions must wait for the infant fuss to stop before they can give care. Player can try to cancel the infant's autonomous action as a workaround.
Player actions should override autonomy, overall. My opinion.
Toddlers - When Player directs adult to Play, read to child or teach Flash cards, there is an animation of the sim asking the toddler if they want to do the action. In that scenario it makes sense.
That "Ask Animation" does NOT make sense when it comes to Baby Care, like giving a bath, feeding, changing a diaper, etc. Baby has dirty diaper, change baby - The End. No asking needed. Baby can still refuse the bottle or food per their traits. But the extra step of Ask, Wait for response before caregiving is unreal and irritating.
Oh, man infants has been my favorite life stage. Don't tell me they broke it.
For me, newborn and infant care are improved since the Devs asked for player feedback and made changes. I forget which update. I made 2 suggestions about toddlers. 😄
