The Sims [ ]

"Should nosotros have a baby?" dialog in The Sims.

In order for a babe to be built-in in The Sims, 1 of two things must happen:

  • Two Sims of opposite genders must interact romantically either by kissing or "playing in bed"[TS:LL] and so hope for the random gamble of a dialogue asking "Should we have a infant?", to which the player can answer "Yes" or "No". The "playing in bed" interaction tin can merely piece of work if a Sim has a Vibromatic Eye Bed or a downloaded bed that's based on it. In Get a Life mode for the console version of The Sims, the histrion will non be given the option to turn down.
  • A phone call is received from an adoption agency asking if the family would similar to prefer. This phone call occurs at random, usually at effectually 4pm. The player has the choice to decline.

Either way, a baby arrives immediately in a shower of flowers, at which betoken all other Sims assemble to applaud the newborn. The shower of flowers will resolve into a greenish bassinet with white bedding. The baby will go far almost the Sims. It is suggested that the interaction that leads to the "Should we accept a baby?" question be performed away from the lot's borders, equally it is possible for the bassinet to appear on the sidewalk or in the street, in which case the player will be unable to movement information technology in buy or build fashion unless the move_objects crook is used.

The baby crib in The Sims.

Babies awaken approximately in one case every six hours and require feeding (although strangely plenty they never crave diaper changes) and to exist sung to sleep. They accept no other needs. Playing with the babe is an option, only is not required.

The baby is visible while a Sim is interacting with it, just it volition be placed back into the crib once the interaction is finished. While in its crib, the babe is merely a lump covered in its bedding. One time the babe has gone back to sleep, Sims will exist unable to collaborate with information technology until the next time it awakens for feeding, though Bonehilda, if available, will be able to feed the babe. Equally long every bit the babe is in the crib, the crib tin be moved in buy mode or build style.

If the baby is non tended to after several hours of crying, a social worker will call to reprimand the household and warn them that, if the child is not taken care of, the social worker will come up to take the baby abroad. If the baby is left unattended for a 2d time, the infant will be taken by the social worker.

Babies progress to the side by side life phase, Child, in 72 hours. Since in that location are no genetics in The Sims, the child's body and head skins will be selected at random, and the kid may not resemble either parent. The body peel can be changed by using a dresser, merely the head skin can merely be changed by using a tertiary-party program.

Unlike subsequently games in the series, babies in The Sims are like objects. A actor tin can evict a family from their business firm while a infant is in it, but the baby will not exist at that place when the family is moved into a new house.

The Sims 2 [ ]

An alien hybrid baby.

Babies in The Sims ii crave more planning, since either a successful "Try For Baby" interaction or the abduction of a male person Sim is needed. After 3 days of pregnancy, the baby is born. Again, babies tin be adopted, but in this instance it's the actor'due south choice every bit to when - or whether - that happens, as the adoption agency will not call at random.

Dissimilar their counterparts in the original, babies in The Sims 2 are separate from their cribs, which demand to bought in buy mode. Regular feeding and diaper changes are required, and social interactions (cuddle and play with) are possible, although, unlike the original, a baby's relationship scores are calculated from the moment it's born. Some other difference from the original is one of the new NPCs, the nanny, who can care for youngsters and will as well tidy upwardly as a bonus. Children cannot "independently" interact with babies - though they can talk to babies that are beingness held by older Sims - but all teens and older Sims can, and firm guests may autonomously concur babies and feed them bottles.

The Sims 2 babies are not controllable or selectable, though a baby will take an icon. The groundwork color of a baby's icon volition change to reflect his or her general mood, but it's not possible to view any of a babe's details without using a hack or boolprop testingcheatsenabled, unless the player has the FreeTime expansion pack (come across beneath). Notwithstanding, the player tin see if a baby's diaper needs to be changed, as that interaction will non be available unless it's needed. It volition also non exist available if the baby is asleep, even if the background of the baby's icon is yellowish. A baby's diaper tin can be changed past clicking on the baby, or past using a changing table. Using a changing table is preferable, every bit information technology provides a larger boost to the babe'south (invisible) hygiene motive, and the dirty diaper is automatically disposed of. While a baby tin exist bathed in a sink (whatsoever type of sink will practise), using the changing table when a diaper change is needed should keep the infant's (invisible) hygiene motive satisfied well plenty to make this unnecessary.

To feed a babe, click on a fridge and go a bottle, or click on a partly-filled bottle and select the "Feed canteen to" selection. The babe volition beverage until the (invisible) hunger motive is filled or the bottle is empty, afterward which the canteen will exist put down. If The Sims two: University is installed, Sims cannot get bottles from the "MMM" Mini Fridge. A partly-filled bottle cannot exist stored in a refrigerator, but tin exist placed in a Sim's inventory.

Babies are immobile, and will stay wherever they are put. If they are put on the floor or ground, Sims and pets volition either go effectually them or step over them. Being left on the floor or basis does non harm a baby, only babies volition remainder amend if they are in their cribs. A baby can be placed in a crib by clicking on the crib, and selecting the selection to put him or her in it. A baby who is sleeping in a crib tin can exist tucked in, simply the pick will not appear if the baby is awake.

All babies have the same facial features (i.due east. the 2nd face up template in Create a Sim, excluding the babies of Pollination Technician), and so information technology is impossible to tell what they will look similar later on beyond the nuts of pare tone, eye color, and pilus colour (they are baldheaded, only their eyebrows reveal the colour of their pilus). Babies also have no aspirations, wants or fears, only can collect memories (even though in reality they would be much too young to understand most of them). Unless a baby is being removed by the social worker, which would happen if its (invisible) hunger or social motive was to become critically low, it tin't leave the lot unless a glitch occurs. The social worker volition besides remove a baby if he or she is left unattended (i.e. there are no teens, adults, or elders present on the lot).

The Sims 2: FreeTime introduces the parenting skill, which gives Sim parents the ability to check on the baby. Using this characteristic, Sim parents written report beforehand using a book from a bookcase. Once they main the fine art of parenting, the parents at present have the choice of checking on the baby, at which point a idea chimera appears above the baby's head indicating his/her lowest motive.

Baby play mat.jpg

The DangleMaster Deluxe and The Bouncinator 3000 are The Sims 2 Store objects which are unique for babies. Both of them raise babies' fun and even social motive, but they will cry if they are left in them for too long.

Babies progress to the next life stage, Toddler, in 72 hours. Household members can throw a altogether party for the infant and can blow out candles on a cake, triggering a special cutscene to celebrate the infant'due south age transition [confirmation needed]. If there is no party or block, some other household member will autonomously choice the baby up when it is ready to age and "help" it with its birthday.

It is possible to raise a baby by feeding and nothing more; even so, since edifice relationships with them is fairly easy, it is best if other members of the household interacted with the babe.

In The Sims 2, the automation of teens and older Sims around babies can be rather annoying. They volition endeavour to meet the baby's needs autonomously, but volition non always be intelligent about it. For case, they will always autonomously feed a crying babe, fifty-fifty if it needs its diaper changed instead. And so, while the autonomous "Concur Youngster" action may indicate that a infant needs some sort of attention, and crying definitely indicates that, the actor may need to intervene and determine whether it needs to exist fed, changed, or just held.

Bigfoot volition occasionally endeavour to perform a prank on the baby, or even attempt to fight with them. Since prank and fight interactions tin only be performed on Sims who are teens or older, the game will not allow him to do this, so his interactions will only neglect.

The Sims 3 [ ]

A baby girl in The Sims iii.

Babies are the youngest life phase in The Sims iii, and tin exist added to existing households through a pregnancy, adoption, a successful wish for a child using the wishing well in Lucky Palms, by performing a cloning experiment using the scientific discipline research station in The Sims iii: University Life, by reincarnating a deceased Sim as a baby using the Door of Life And Death from The Sims 3 Store, or by going to the infirmary in Oasis Landing and engineering a baby in The Sims 3: Into the Future.

On the normal lifespan setting, babies progress to the next life stage, Toddler, in 72 hours. This time around, however, babies are much more than specifically modeled on newborn infants, and appear to represent a menses spanning from nascence to the first few months of a Sim's life. Unlike in The Sims 2, a pregnancy will last for 72 hours rather than 75 hours, and the Sim'due south belly will aggrandize gradually rather than abruptly growing at the end of the showtime two trimesters.

Pregnancies in The Sims three are somewhat more realistic than in The Sims 2. Significant Sims experience vomiting (similar to morning time sickness), cravings, back pains, and light mood swings. Significant Sims may also have wishes to visit the spa or go a massage when experiencing back pains, or wish to consume certain foods to curb their cravings. Sometimes, both parents will wish for a specific gender of baby, to read pregnancy books, or to buy necessary piece of furniture for their unborn child.

Pregnant Sims can either get to the infirmary to take a baby or stay at home to give birth. If the thespian opts for a home nascency, the Sim will spend a period of time visibly suffering from labor pains and then spin around in a cloud of multicolored sparks, later which the babe appears in her hands in a manner resembling births in The Sims 2 when cutscenes are disabled. If twins or triplets are built-in at home, later the process of naming the babies and assigning traits, the Sim will put the first baby downwards and repeat the spinning activity until all the babies are born. If the actor opts for a nascence to take place at a hospital, the Sim will disappear into the hospital rabbit hole and, after some time, emerge carrying their babe or babies once names and traits accept been assigned for them. If the father of a baby born at a hospital is part of the pregnant Sim'southward household, they will enter the hospital with them. Fathers from separate households, notwithstanding, may or may not exist present at a hospital birth. Oddly, babies born in a hospital will have a noticeably lower starting relationship with the Sim that gave nascence to them than babies born at home, though the game does not specify any reason for this.

Upon existence built-in, babies now appear with blankets wrapped around them instead of wearing diapers. There are two different colored blankets; the default colors are sky blue for a baby boy and pastel pinkish for a babe girl, but different colors and styles are available as custom content. The color of baby blankets can also be changed with the use of whatsoever mod that allows access to either the "Program Outfit" mode on the dresser or Create-A-Sim. If there'south 1 baby born, the mother will deport it. If it'southward twins, the mother and male parent volition carry 1 each. If information technology'due south triplets or quadruplets or so on, the babies will exist carried in a handbasket on the way abode.

Babies are assigned 2 traits at birth. Depending on how happy the mother Sim was during her pregnancy, the thespian may be able to cull one of their traits, ii of their traits or neither of them. Reading pregnancy books and getting massages appears to significantly increase the likelihood of existence able to select both traits. If the pregnancy was a especially unhappy ane, the traits will be chosen at random and volition oftentimes be negative traits (such as evil, mean spirited or coward). Unlike in The Sims 2, the only visible aspect of babies' genetics is their skin tone, every bit the generic character model for a baby lacks noticeable colored eyebrows and will ever have blueish optics, a possible nod to the fact that babies briefly have blueish optics after nascency.[ane]

For the first time in The Sims serial, information technology is possible to select babies without the use of cheats or mods, though they remain immobile and cannot be directed to perform any interactions themselves. Regardless, the player can at present view babies' traits and motives and keep track of how hungry, tired, muddied or lonely they are. Babies do not have whatsoever wishes and cannot learn any skills, merely can yet gain a few moodlets. Babies can likewise visit other community lots for the first time in the serial by being carried to other community lots.

If a baby's motives go low enough, it will showtime to cry, which causes nearby Sims to get the negative "Crying Babe" moodlet. However, evil Sims volition get the positive "Fiendishly Delighted" moodlet from crying babies, and may steal processed from them in order to deliberately make them weep. Any Sim in the teen stage or to a higher place may instantly refill a baby's hygiene motive past changing its diaper at any fourth dimension and in any location—there is no need for a changing table (although 1 can exist purchased in the Store equally premium content),[n 1] and babies in The Sims 3 tin can no longer be bathed in the sink. Sims who are not from the same household equally a babe will be unable to interact with the baby unless they take a high relationship with its parents or guardians.

A baby may be born as a non-homo life state if either of its parents are not-human. However, if two normal Sims try for a baby with the "Magic in the Air" moodlet, which can be gained past visiting an arboretum, there is a chance that they will produce a infant with a random occult life state as a mutation.

In The Sims three: Generations, there is a risk that afterwards a babe is born, the parents will be sent an Imaginary Friend doll past a relative. The baby volition accept the doll in their inventory, however, they cannot interact with it until they age upwards into a toddler. Babies can also be taken on strolls in the stroller by Sims who are teen and older.

The Sims 4 [ ]

A babe boy in The Sims iv.

Babies are the first life phase in The Sims 4. For the outset fourth dimension ever in the chief series, new mothers are able to breastfeed their babies.[2] Breastfeeding was previously used instead of canteen feeding in The Sims Medieval.

Teen Sims and older can interact with babies, (i.e. cooing at them, cuddling them, bouncing them, rocking them, and showing them off to other Sims). Children cannot choice up babies, but can coo at them. Equally in The Sims and before versions of The Sims FreePlay, babies in The Sims 4 are tied to their bassinet and cannot be carried effectually by other Sims.

Bassinets are automatically provided complimentary-of-charge if the pregnant Sim gives birth at a infirmary. If, however, the thespian wants to have a pregnant Sim give birth at home, the player will need to buy the bassinet prior to the birth. If a Sim's labor moodlet expires or is about to expire, the social services will requite a free bassinet. A bassinet is not-transferable until its original occupant ages up, simply it is possible to change the color using the pattern tool.

Dependent on the life land of the babe they will get different bassinets: vampire babies take a gothic bassinet and spellcaster babies have a elegant bassinet.

When a baby is born, its friendship meter, relative to all other members of the household, is almost half-full. While almost all interactions with a babe volition increase a Sim's relationship with the baby, interactions with babies can fail. A failed interaction with a baby will cause them to cry, and will cause relationship between the baby and the Sim to decrease. Children volition go an interaction to "meet new sibling" when the baby is but born, and will sometimes become an angry or sad "Unwanted Sibling" moodlet.

Just like The Sims three, babies will represent their gender with different-colored clothing, simply with onesies instead of blankets. The onesie shows one decal and a color for each gender: green with a monkey holding a assistant for baby boys, and light yellow with a pink butterfly for infant girls.

On normal age settings, babies progress to the next life phase, Toddler, in 72 hours. Notwithstanding, older Sims can age a baby up at any time earlier this past using the "Age Up" interaction.

If a baby is left solitary in the business firm with no grown-ups (aged teen and older) to treat information technology, they will be sent off the lot to daycare (both the babe and bassinet will disappear); the baby will render when a teen Sim or older comes back to the lot.

If babies are not fed for a while, a notification appears saying "[Sim Name] is very hungry! Without a feeding soon, this baby will be taken away!". If the baby is not fed for a while later on the message appears, the baby will disappear in a puff of light-green smoke (if the diaper is dirty), and the message "Due to neglect, [Sim Name] has been whisked abroad to safety. Mayhap you should try a goldfish before parenting once more" will announced. Information technology will also happen if you turn on cheats, and then cull the "[DEBUG] Starves Baby" choice in the bassinet by Shift + clicking the bassinet with a baby in it. Originally, the aforementioned choice was blank.

When it is fourth dimension for the baby to exist born, the player is prompted to decide whether the infant will exist delivered at home or in the hospital. If the baby is delivered in the hospital, the parents will go to an off-screen hospital. If Get to Piece of work is installed, the actor volition also exist asked to decide whether information technology will be an off-screen nascency or an on-screen birth where the thespian follows the parents.

If a baby needs a diaper change or has to eat, it will become sorry due to its crying, while an older Sim will become uncomfortable instead.

Before the January 12, 2017 update added the toddler stage to The Sims 4, babies would age upwardly into children, as they did in The Sims.

Babies are literally objects in The Sims four and can exist institute in the debug section of build mode. It will always be a nameless baby male child with the darkest skin tone that has no genetics and cannot be aged up.

Since the release of The Sims 4: Nifty Knitting Stuff, older Sims from teen to elderberry can knit and change baby onesies in the bassinet.

The Sims Medieval [ ]

A medieval man and woman taking care of a baby

Babies in The Sims Medieval resemble babies from The Sims 3 in appearance, but are more similar babies from The Sims in that they are born with their ain crib, and age into children rather than toddlers. Medieval infancy lasts for simply one twenty-four hours. These babies technically do not need care, simply will even so cry if left alone long enough. A crying baby makes it impossible for Sims to sleep and lowers the focus of all Sims in the room. To become the babe to stop crying both parents may cuddle the child. Alternatively, the mother tin breast feed the baby (bottles are non bachelor). Both parents will receive a buff for cuddling the infant and/or feeding information technology.

The Sims FreePlay [ ]

Sims tin can also have babies in The Sims FreePlay subsequently the 2 and A Half Sims quest. Babies can be gained by placing a crib (bought from the domicile store or children's store) in a household where two adult Sims live.[north 2] The player must and then click on the babe icon above the cot. If the icon is grey then a infant cannot be attained considering either the thespian has reached their current Sim limit or there are already iv Sims living in that household. If the icon is blue, then a baby can be bought with a number of Simoleons and it will appear in the cot later a day. The player can as well cull to go through a pregnancy journey, like chief Sims games, with rewards, afterward the pregnancy store is built. At this point, the baby's gender, habiliment, and center and skin color can be selected. Players may choose whether or not to take the infant look similar its parents.

The new infant volition now testify upward in the Simtracker and can be selected. This means that the actor can meet the baby'south needs and get other Sims to interact with and intendance for the baby. Babies can only leave their crib if a teen Sim or older is tending to their needs, and as of level 10, adult Sims can comport them, identify them on the ground and teach them to walk after doing the Nanny Knows Best quest. Babies are very easy to look after and can exist sent to sleep manually any fourth dimension they are in their cot. Unlike other games, babies can be left home alone. If the baby's needs become besides low, information technology will beginning to cry and scream. Babies besides cry if they want an adult to pick them up.

Player tips [ ]

  • In The Sims, try using this combination for a content babe whenever it cries: feed, feed, sing. Repeat until infant sleeps.
  • In The Sims, the social worker will appear if the baby is allowed to cry for too long. Place a couch, recliner, or bed in the infant's room, and have one parent nap or sleep there. A crying baby volition wake every Sim in the room, and this lets at least i of its parents go a good night's sleep.
  • In The Sims, when having a lazy parent sleep in a infant's room, use a couch or recliner, and have the parent nap. That way, they will non waste time lament about having been woken up before they were fully rested.
  • Since The Sims allows Sims to miss a day of work as long as they don't miss 2 in a row, the thespian can have parents have alternate days off. The parent who isn't going to piece of work the next twenty-four hours should be the one to sleep in the baby's room.
  • In The Sims, players who take the Superstar expansion pack can hire a butler ($500/24-hour interval) who will automatically tend to the baby whenever it cries. The infant will get back to sleep after just one interaction from the butler, although they may offset crying again at shorter intervals. Even so, as long as the butler is effectually (normal shift is from seven am to 11 pm), he will tend to the child.
  • In The Sims 2, babies' needs can be viewed by using the "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" cheat. Once the crook has been entered, shift click the baby, click Make Unselectable, shift-click the baby once more, and click Make Selectable again.
  • A infant bottle may used several times in The Sims 2 if information technology is placed in a Sim's inventory betwixt feedings. Once the bottle is put down, click on it. If the option to feed the infant appears, back out of the card, then put the bottle into the Sim'due south inventory. The side by side time the baby needs to be fed, accept the bottle out of the inventory, click on it, and select the "Feed bottle to" option.
  • Babies in The Sims 2 cannot exist woken when comatose on the floor, but tin ever be picked upwardly with the Hold Baby option when in a crib. If a baby is sleeping on the floor just needs to be woken up, turn on the TV or an sound organisation in the same room and so that the noise will wake them. This trick too works with toddlers.
  • When playing with a babe in The Sims 2, it is possible that the infant will vomit on the poor Sim playing with them. This will arrest the "play with" interaction and reduce said Sim'southward hygiene motive. The Sim and the baby will non lose relationship points, notwithstanding.
  • In The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, after a pregnant Sim gives birth, they will get three days of maternity leave. The baby should normally be prepare to historic period up into a toddler by the end of this period, though this may not be the example in The Sims 3 depending on which aging settings the player is using.
  • Always effort to continue a crib nearby in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. Having at least one per floor is easier than carrying babies up and down the stairs all the time.
  • In The Sims 3, the social worker volition just appear for a baby if it'southward hunger or social motives are critically depression and the player continues to ignore them. Warning letters near the social worker will appear a few in-game hours before the point at which, a babe will be taken if nothing is done.
  • To get the maximum number of trait choices for a new babe in The Sims 3, complete as many of the meaning Sim's wishes as possible. A good strategy is to only promise the wishes you're admittedly sure you'll exist able to complete by the time the Sim gives birth.
  • In The Sims 3, a baby will usually have a college relationship with its mother if she gives birth to it at home.
  • In The Sims 3, if the female Sim eats three watermelons whilst pregnant, the baby will be a daughter, and if she eats 3 apples, she volition have a boy.
  • In The Sims 4, a parent who takes family leave tin can go on to bask what is left of it if a player manually ages upward a baby shortly after birth.
  • In The Sims 4, unlike previous versions, a family who neglects a infant (or a toddler) does not get ineligible to adopt or give nativity to some other infant in the firsthand future.

Notes [ ]

  1. Sometimes a babe'southward hygiene will be stuck in the red and cannot exist replenished until the Sim becomes a kid.
  2. Prior to the pregnancy update, the two adult Sims had to exist married before the cot could be purchased.
