Would you like babies to be freed from the bassinet?

You make a poll with an answer "no"?? *someone pinch me, I must be dreaming* :) :)

Babies are way down my list of concerns. I age them up pretty darn fast anyway.

Absolutely yes. I want them to be real Sims and not objects.

I chose yes because I don't care either way. I have zero interest in babies even if they make them toddler style. I want more content for kids kids kids. Then teens and toddlers. How long is anyone really gonna play with babies?
And for my playstyle my sim never even have babies lol. I had a pregnant sim once in 2015 just to see what it was like. That was the end of that???
Honestly I believe they are coming either way and I'm fine with that.

Yes, Id say most who played the sims 2 or 3 would vote yes. We've seen the potential for babies & in the sims 2 they were SOO CUTE! Bathing them in the sink, changing the diaper on an actual change table & putting them in the bouncer & giving them dummies!

This is a LIFE simulation game, how can you NOT INCLUDE the VERY START OF LIFE, as a baby. Its just BEYOND me that they went with this decision - more like ran out of time to make it any differently as they rushed to launch...

I'm a family game player. Not being able to play with babies like in Sims 2 and 3 irritates me. Free the babies! :D

Babies have never been interesting in past games... what makes it any different in Sims 4? Also, I'm willing to bet most people who complain about wanting babies "freed" from the bassinets are just gonna age them up in 2 or 3 days after birth anyway... I'm not usually someone who defends EA, but the whole "controversy" revolving around babies in Sims 4 is just because people want something to whine and complain about. Babies are so pointless and would provide so little gameplay that even if they were "freed", it would barely change anything.

I'd much prefer the developers work on something that's actually useful... like, I don't know, fixing the dozens of bugs that are currently in the game... or adding features that would actually change the gameplay (like cars, farming, werewolves, amusement parks, etc). If we're gonna focus on improving a specific life stage, it should be teenagers... they literally need the most improvement right now. The fact that they're treated like mini adults is ridiculous!

I don't see the point in wasting time "freeing" babies from the basinets when most players are still just gonna age them up within a day or two anyway.

I wouldn't mind having other objects they can be moved to (playpen/playmat, bouncy chair, maybe even a stroller) But I don't want actually free babies. Just to be able to move them from the basinett to someplace closer in the house to wherever the adults are skilling up. (I tend to play in large houses.)

Asside from personally having zero interest in more baby gameplay, I don't think they stay babies long enough in Normal lifespan to be worth it. I know you can play on long life or with aging off, but when designing a feature for the game I think they need to consider what works on the default normal lifespan.

Lol @Colton147147 this one gets both yes/no answers? ?

I do want them freed. It's sad they're just stuck there. And you can still age them up really fast if you want, but it provides a better experience for the people who do want it. Personally I'm a family player but age babies up super fast because I'm very impatient and don't like managing them or toddlers. Lol. I'd probably still age them up fast if they were freed.

I said yes but I'm actually on the fence with this one. Yes, I want babies to be babies and not objects that get put in the family inventory when your household moves. However, I also didn't like them being left outside in the snow in TS3. If there was a way to not have that happen then it would be 100% yes. Now, it's just 80% :).
