Infants great

From what was shown and described in the livestream, having the baby start out in the bassinet is still a good thing. We can take them out of it. As the baby gets older, there's tummy time to be had. Eventually the wee tyke will start sitting up, crawling and eventually pull themselves onto their wee feet using an ottoman. It's a more natural progression toward Toddlerhood. I think we will all know better after they drop. In the meantime, I think we should stave off the case of the 'I'm not happy about this' syndrome. You may be wildly pleased in the end.

You do make a good point there. However, the Infants are a new life stage. A Sim we can create in CAS. They spring (sort of) from the bassinet in due time (which has been shortened from the normal duration) more like they float out of it to a very soft landing. I'm excited for this. I may even finish getting my chosen family ready and then wait until GT drops so that I can be certain my new Infant will achieve the new Milestones, as another player suggested. (I'm thinking, it may even be possible for the baby to be born, to save and then exit from there. we'll see.

If you think of babies as newborns, you could point out that in the first few weeks of a baby's life, all they do is eat, sleep, poop and cry. Say you've just given birth at the hospital. They've been tuned up a bit so that you can do more cuddling with them, but as long as you can carry them around the house, them not actually being able to do anything is relatively realistic.
