New (?) thought bubbles that could be hints

Since the last patch, I've been noticing thought bubbles that didn't appear as often before. I don't know if it means anything, but it's fun to speculate. I will list them below, let me know if you noticed them as well or if you found different ones !

1) The diaper : I've been seeing this one a lot, several times in a single sim day. Usually, I only see it over pregnant sims. My sims in the screenshots were not pregnant, had no children, had no wishes to have babies, and no aspirations related to family. But they had this thought bubble ALL. THE. TIME. I really think improved babies are coming and I believe this is a hint.

2) The horse : not sure about this one, but I don't remember seeing a thought bubble with a horse before. I might be wrong though.
It happened several times in the past couple weeks, when sims were around cats or dogs especially.

3) Nessie : I saw the Loch Ness monster quite often as well in the past couple of weeks, even when watching videos from game changers (the screenshot is from a Clare Siobhan video). It could be the sea monster from Get Together, but the bubble really striked me, I don't remember seeing it before. Thoughts ?

I think taking a look at how the babies in The Sims Freeplay are designed is enough of an answer.

They already acknowledged the community desire for better babies a while ago, I'm positive we'll be getting a pretty decent overhaul for babies in 2021.

Me too. All they really need are cars, more depth, and an overhaul to babies and we're set. (Also a Generations EP :D)

And a Rock Band pack. Sims 3 Rock Bands were terrible.

I noticed the increased amount of thought bubbles with the diaper as well. Maybe it's a hint?!

Do babies need upgrading, though? The toddlers are the best they ever were in the series, I feel, and it's not like there's much to be done with literal babies, the ones in the crib. I guess some people really want the option to carry them around the house but that by itself wouldn't be a huge update.

It may be bigger than you think. According to something I read by a modder on Tumblr, the Cribs are actually the Baby object, not the baby itself. It's why all cribs have to be overrides because that's the actual baby.

So carrying the baby around may require more coding than it seems.

I mean, I don't think it wouldn't be much work, quite the opposite, I bet it's a lot of effort. But if they did that and called it "a big update" I feel like a lot of players, especially here, where people are always ready to pick up their pitchforks, would be very vocally disappointed, because they expect something that has more impact on the game.
