I'll admit, I'm going to totally go into CAS after the big game update bringing Infants to Base Game and play around making some adorable infants! HOWEVER, I'm not going to actually PLAY any families with babies or infants until AFTER I've gotten Growing Together downloaded and installed!I mean, with all the milestones and such that applies to Infants (As well as older Sims)...Well, to quote Aerosmith..."I don't want to miss a thing!"

Same! I started to create a poll about this yesterday, but I was too lazy/busy. :D My guess is that i will probably buy the EP late next week, assuming early bug reports are not too scary, so that I can play next weekend. I'm going to try to finish any prep I want to do for the pack this weekend, and then not touch the game again until I've downloaded GT. Which works out fine for me; I don't usually have time to play during the week, anyway, and work may be particularly busy next week.

I still have to get my couple married. That will, hopefully, keep me occupied for the one day in between Infants and Growing Together is released. I will also take that day in between to add a mod or two, to test-drive them, so to speak. We'll see. I'm wary, considering I totally lost the established save I was going to use and had to, once again, restart. Then I got to the finish line too soon, and noticed some other stuff I bungled along the way. So since it was still early in February, I restarted for a second time. This is the save I'm currently playing. So, I have lots to keep me occupied before they bring Baby into the mix.

I was actually thinking about doing the exact opposite. I wanted to play a few sim days or weeks with the infants before getting into growing together. I want to get to know them and know what is on base game before I dive into the extras. I like to know what depends on the pack and what is available for everyone.

I'm going to wait until I can play with the update and GT at the same time. And that means waiting until some critical mods are updated. As excited as I am about the new update and GT, I think I can wait for a few days to get the whole experience at once. In the meantime, I am going to work on playing matchmaker for a few YAs I am currently playing. This is a new save I just created after my other laptop died so I am basically starting over from scratch. I even created parents for these YAs because I want to experience the new role grandparents will have in their grandkid's lives.

Who else is waiting to play Infants until they are able to get Growing Together?

I updated the first day, I played with infants without the pack and they're cute and very fun but you definitely feel like "something" is missing, because although you get to take care of them, there's nothing like skills or anything to teach them, so infant's gameplay alone feel a little plain.

Me. I already created a family yesterday that includes an infant so it's ready for when the EP comes out, but I'm waiting to actually play.

Honestly, I haven't played with infants partly because of that. But I'm mostly not gonna get the pack right away as Im waiting on hearing more reviews + seeing how buggy it is. I haven't even updated my game as Im waiting for my favorite mods to update.

I'm all ready. My sim is well into her 3rd trimester and should have the baby soon after I go into game again, after the pack drops.

Honestly I can't remember when time last seemed to pass so slowly for me! Not since I was a kid in school staring at the classroom clock praying for 3 o'clock LOL.

I waited till buying the pack. But I have a real life visitor for the next week so haven’t gotten to aging up any babies to infants yet. Plus, I want to set up some likes and dislikes for compatibility and family dynamics before getting into infant play.
