Would you like babies to be freed from the bassinet?

No, absolutely not. I don’t care about babies and never will. They are fine as objects, the toddler stage is so well developed, and the wee things, I mean sims; are so adorable, there is no need to spend resources on a silly demand.

I think a lot of these wishes comes from boredom and a habit of continually ask for something. It would be nice if the forum is used for another purpose than to repeat in eternity the same demands. The babies in TS3 were so cute, and that game can still be played if wanted. I see no reason to iterate features over and over; but appreciate when the game presents new gameplay. We are getting rental as well as living lots now, how fun!

I chose no, since there wasn't a "depends" option lol.
I, personally, wouldn't want them to be taken out of the bassinet unless there were more interactions. I'd like to be able to play with them on the floor, try to teach them to roll-over on their bellies, play with toys, play peek-a-boo, etc. I wouldn't want them to stay as a "new born" forever, but as a developing infant.

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...

Just speaking for myself, but in Sims 2 and 3 my babies were babies for 1-2 sim weeks. It has sucked not being able to fully interact with the babies.

I picked yes, but I really couldn't care less. They'd be aged up in the same amount of time after birth anyway, which is very shortly, if not immediately after. If they would improve teens, though, that would be something.

I would love for that too happen <3 I just hope it does not break my baby outfits in the process, got much more to update if that happens again this time round ;)

This claim, with how much "Yes" is defeating "No" in this poll, doesn't hold fruit.

Your claim, while ignoring the rest of my comment where I point out that people are only complaining about this because they want something to complain about, doesn't hold up either.

What exactly do you all plan to do with babies if they're freed from the bassinets? I'd love to hear it... all I can think of is giving them like one or two baths in the sink, and then aging them up because that would get boring after doing it a couple times.

What exactly did you (or do you) plan on doing with babies for 1-2 Sim weeks? Because even in Sims 2 and Sims 3, their gameplay was extremely limited and had almost nothing of true value.

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

In what ways do you recall "playing" with babies in Sims 2 and Sims 3? Because I certainly don't remember any depth gameplay with them in either game... babies have always been the most boring life stage. All you can do is feed them, change their diaper, and bathe them.

People are constantly complaining about wanting to "free" babies, but never give any reasons to why it should be done. I've yet to hear any examples of gameplay "freeing" babies would provide.
