Did you know you can't give birth on vacation? My male Sim got pregnant from aliens and we went into the wilderness to use up some vacation time to try to give birth and abandon it. He was in labour for a week before I gave up and it just popped out the moment we got home.Also I remember the time my Sim got pregnant and I thought she was just getting fat. I had her desperately excercising most of the day and when it came out she was suddenly super-buff.Anyway, I read news on a big bug patch this year and I thought, maybe this is it. Maybe this is the year we get proper Sims 4 babies?Whether we get them or not, what would you want to see?

I'm actually somewhere between Mostly and Somewhat.I don't really want them fully mobile like pets/Kittens, but I would like more interactions and some ability to customize them. What I've been saying I'd like is additional items (Bouncy chair, play mat, play pen, maybe a baby bath) that your sim can move the baby between. So it's still tied to items, but you can have several items around the house and move the baby to whichever is closest to where you want your adult sim skilling up. (A baby sling or baby carrier would be cool too, but I think the technical issues to get those to work would be pretty significant.)And the ability to change the onsie. I'm okay with only having like 4 baby skin tones (including Alien) and no influence on the baby's face. I just would like different onsies.

I'm not particularly fussed. I chose the option that I'm fine with the babies being in the crib. If they are given greater functionality in a free patch, or otherwise in a pack I want for other reasons, I'll take advantage, but I don't feel strongly about the subject. I probably wouldn't buy a baby stuff pack, for example.

They've already stated that we're not getting a game changing update in these next 6 months, which is exactly what overhauled babies would be, and I can't imagine them waiting until the end of the year to do something so major, so sadly I doubt it's happening at all.

I'd love real babies. I would prefer to play them, I want them to move around, learn how to crawl, show genetics (this is very important to me as a generational player). I want clothes for them and toys, playpens, strollers - I would definitely buy a baby stuff pack and I cross my fingers we will get a baby gamepack this year. They said that the gamepack is something that has never done before and we never had really advanced babies, even TS2 babies didn't REALLY show genetics, they didn't learn how to crawl or to stand up and they didn't have their own wardrobe and toys. There never was a "baby pack", so I keep my fingers crossed and hope for it. I know that lots of family players feel the same. And be aware of the fact that many occult players are also family/generational players and it's a shame toddlers and children were left out from occult gameplay as they were. A gamepack like that could also come with an update that leads to the the occult lifestages in babies to children to show a little more, e.g. learn first spells and do magic pranks for children (and teens of course) or have toddlers experience "magic accidents" because they don't know how to control their powers yet. I am not much of an occult player, but it would appeal to me that way and I know that lots of occult players would love it!

I don't neec to play them, but if they had more "life", more interactions, then i wouldn't age them up immediatly after thy're born as i do now.

Honestly I would settle for actual cribs and clothing options. It would be cool to be able to teach them to crawl though.

Toddlers are such a pain, WHY would anyone want babies to be the same?

This is what i would love as well even if i didnt vote all the way only the second... as i dont really want to play as them alone... but i want all of these things to play with the caretaker for the baby... and be able to do these with the baby... though i would right now just settle for nursing in the upcoming rocking chair... hey it is better than next to the crib...

Honestly I just want to be able to change them up in cas. Clothes, eye color, hair, and all skin colors unlocked for them. Other than that maybe be able to crawl around and baby showers would be nice.
