Updated babies coming soon?

I think you can't read into that render at all. That whole little stream of them recently were staged and purely for entertainment and tips for staying at home. That particular one just poking a bit of fun at how the whole family can be tense and probably getting on the father's nerves. ;)

Sorry, I just personally don't think it means anything that what you see of it at face value.

A twitter thread talking about it says that the image actually predates the Toddlers update/Parenthood, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

i have my doubts as a player as well

This was posted on the stuff pack deep dive thread. Regardless of what it is, there's something related to babies coming.

"I've seen a lot comments wondering about whether or not you'll be able to rock babies or toddlers. Sitting in laps is not currently supported on any chair, but don't worry, we have a surprise in store for the littlest of Sims, so keep watching this forum for future deep dive posts from Conor. We'll have more details later :)"

So there is a new render that the sims team has posted on Instagram in the sim guru tips story with a family and the dad is holding a baby.

I’m reminded of that render with the toddler when they weren’t out yet so does this mean we are getting a baby update soon?

I don't think so. That would mean we would also get a new pet animation for the dog to lay its head on your children's lap. I believe those drawings were made for those instagram stories like @Camkat said.

No. Old render too.

I'm pretty sure someone made a thread made about that exact image with the exact same speculation last year. So I'm gonna have to go with no.

SimGuruSarah posted it in the Community Deep Dive preview of Rocking Chairs in the Community Stuff Pack 2 section.

I didn't mention it because I'm not convinced her comment is about Babies.

God, I hope so. I feel it'd be kind of stupid of them to use that render when a baby update is so asked for at the moment.
