I wonder if the babies will be improved in the upcoming patch

I just want some new clothes and a bassinet. I'm sick of basegame bassinet (and bassinets from packs are too stylized. Realm of Magic one is cute though). I just want a normal modern bassinet.

yeah new bassinets would be awesome. also I would love the whatever thingy that they put on top of a crib that the baby can watch to sleep.

I'd like the babies to get a little bit of a makeover with better skin textures and bassinet options. Given the way infants are being implemented, I don't think there's anything can do to completely free the babies from the bassinet but I would like them to look better visually. Right now there are like a couple of skin tones assigned to all babies and it doesn't necessarily reflect their skin tone after aging into a toddler. Similarly, I babies don't have any notable hair color or eye color. I just wished genetics reflected babies the same way they do the actual life stages and they didn't look so creepy.

I hope they did give the babies an update. I always wanted to be-able to rename the babies that are born when you aren't playing. They could at least add rename baby on basinet. You can't even rename babies using MCCC. Sometimes I want babies to stay babies without aging them up to rename them.

Personally I’m good with babies still being in the bassinet and “aging” to a more mobile sim.

Me too. I don’t think they will do anything with babies because it could mess up babies already in the game. But I liked the idea of being able to change a babies name on the bassinet before they grow into infants.

They could make any changes to babies apply to new saves only. Or maybe not? I'm definitely not a coder!

It would be nice to have a few updates to them.

Hold on, I thought Infants will replace the Baby life stage, is that not the case?

no they wont

@Simmer_chiyen I believe the babies in the bassinet will remain the same and will age into infants, who in turn will age into toddlers. They are a new life stage. I am really looking forward to playing all the stages when we get the patch! Just as in life, babies will start out depending on parents for their needs. As they become infants, they will start to be able to roll over, then sit up, crawl and eventually learn to walk and talk, then grow to toddler. This is my understanding from what I have read and seen from the trailer and media. It is going to be so much fun to watch our little sims grow! :)

I never liked that all families get the same basinet for their baby. I play filthy rich households, as well as poor poor households, and especially with the latter group the default basinet feels way too fancy. I know, I can just quickly grow up the baby, but at least 2 or 3 basinet designs would be great. One rather simple and rustic (also good for historical games), the current, and perhaps one with a tad more noble touch.

Babies are being slightly improved to be not so object-y. They can't do much themselves besides scream, sleep, eat and poop, but you can do more with them.
