The Sims [ ]

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

In club for a baby to exist born in The Sims, i of two things must happen:

• Ii Sims of opposite genders must collaborate romantically either past kissing or "playing in bed"^[TS:LL] and and so hope for the random chance of a dialogue request "Should we have a baby?", to which the player can reply "Yes" or "No". The "playing in bed" interaction can only work if a Sim has a Vibromatic Heart Bed or a downloaded bed that's based on it. In Get a Life mode for the console version of The Sims, the player volition not be given the pick to reject.
• A phone telephone call is received from an adoption agency asking if the family would like to adopt. This telephone call occurs at random, ordinarily at effectually 4pm. The player has the option to decline.

Either way, a babe arrives immediately in a shower of flowers, at which point all other Sims assemble to applaud the newborn. The shower of flowers will resolve into a green bassinet with white bedding. The babe will get in about the Sims. It is suggested that the interaction that leads to the "Should we take a baby?" question exist performed away from the lot's borders, as it is possible for the bassinet to appear on the sidewalk or in the street, in which case the player will be unable to move information technology in buy or build way unless the move_objects cheat is used.

The baby crib in The Sims.

Babies awaken approximately one time every 6 hours and crave feeding (although strangely enough they never require diaper changes) and to be sung to sleep. They accept no other needs. Playing with the baby is an option, but is not required.

The infant is visible while a Sim is interacting with it, merely information technology volition be placed back into the crib once the interaction is finished. While in its crib, the baby is merely a lump covered in its bedding. Once the baby has gone back to slumber, Sims will be unable to interact with it until the side by side fourth dimension information technology awakens for feeding, though Bonehilda, if available, volition be able to feed the baby. As long as the baby is in the crib, the crib tin be moved in buy mode or build mode.

If the babe 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 non taken care of, the social worker will come to have the baby away. If the baby is left unattended for a 2nd time, the baby volition exist taken past the social worker.

Babies progress to the next life stage, Child, in 72 hours. Since in that location are no genetics in The Sims, the child's body and caput skins will be selected at random, and the child may non resemble either parent. The body pare can be changed by using a dresser, but the head skin can only be changed past using a third-party program.

Different later games in the series, babies in The Sims are similar objects. A player tin can evict a family from their business firm while a baby is in information technology, simply the baby will non be there when the family is moved into a new house.

The Sims 2 [ ]

An alien hybrid babe.

Babies in The Sims ii require more than planning, since either a successful "Try For Baby" interaction or the abduction of a male Sim is needed. After 3 days of pregnancy, the infant is built-in. Once again, babies tin be adopted, but in this example information technology's the player'southward choice as to when - or whether - that happens, as the adoption agency volition not call at random.

Different their counterparts in the original, babies in The Sims 2 are separate from their cribs, which demand to bought in buy fashion. Regular feeding and diaper changes are required, and social interactions (cuddle and play with) are possible, although, dissimilar the original, a baby'southward relationship scores are calculated from the moment it's born. Another departure from the original is i of the new NPCs, the nanny, who can intendance for youngsters and will besides tidy upwards as a bonus. Children cannot "independently" interact with babies - though they tin talk to babies that are being held by older Sims - but all teens and older Sims can, and business firm guests may autonomously agree babies and feed them bottles.

The Sims ii babies are not controllable or selectable, though a baby will accept an icon. The background colour of a infant's icon will change to reflect his or her full general mood, simply it's not possible to view whatsoever of a babe'due south details without using a hack or boolprop testingcheatsenabled, unless the thespian has the FreeTime expansion pack (see below). However, the histrion can see if a babe's diaper needs to be inverse, every bit that interaction will not be bachelor unless it's needed. It volition also not be available if the baby is asleep, even if the groundwork of the baby'south icon is yellowish. A baby's diaper can be inverse by clicking on the babe, or by using a changing table. Using a changing tabular array is preferable, as information technology provides a larger boost to the baby'south (invisible) hygiene motive, and the dirty diaper is automatically disposed of. While a baby can be bathed in a sink (whatsoever type of sink will do), using the changing table when a diaper change is needed should keep the infant's (invisible) hygiene motive satisfied well enough to make this unnecessary.

To feed a baby, click on a refrigerator and become a bottle, or click on a partly-filled bottle and select the "Feed bottle to" selection. The baby volition drink until the (invisible) hunger motive is filled or the bottle is empty, later which the canteen will be put downwards. If The Sims 2: University is installed, Sims cannot get bottles from the "MMM" Mini Fridge. A partly-filled bottle cannot be stored in a refrigerator, merely tin can 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 basis, Sims and pets will either get effectually them or stride over them. Beingness left on the floor or footing does not harm a baby, but babies will rest amend if they are in their cribs. A baby tin be placed in a crib by clicking on the crib, and selecting the option to put him or her in it. A baby who is sleeping in a crib tin exist tucked in, but the option will not appear if the baby is awake.

All babies have the same facial features (i.eastward. the 2nd face template in Create a Sim, excluding the babies of Pollination Technician), so it is incommunicable to tell what they will look similar after on beyond the basics of skin tone, center color, and hair color (they are baldheaded, but their eyebrows reveal the color of their hair). Babies also have no aspirations, wants or fears, but tin can collect memories (even though in reality they would be much too young to understand nigh of them). Unless a baby is being removed by the social worker, which would happen if its (invisible) hunger or social motive was to go critically low, it can't leave the lot unless a glitch occurs. The social worker will besides remove a babe if he or she is left unattended (i.e. at that place are no teens, adults, or elders present on the lot).

The Sims two: FreeTime introduces the parenting skill, which gives Sim parents the power to bank check on the baby. Using this characteristic, Sim parents study beforehand using a book from a bookcase. One time they master the art of parenting, the parents now have the choice of checking on the baby, at which point a thought bubble appears above the baby's head indicating his/her lowest motive.

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, simply they volition 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 baby and can blow out candles on a cake, triggering a special cutscene to gloat the babe's age transition ^{[confirmation needed]}. If at that place is no party or block, another household fellow member will autonomously selection the infant upward when it is fix to age and "help" information technology with its altogether.

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

In The Sims two, the automation of teens and older Sims around babies can be rather annoying. They will attempt to meet the baby's needs apart, but volition not ever be intelligent about information technology. For example, they will ever autonomously feed a crying baby, fifty-fifty if it needs its diaper inverse instead. So, while the autonomous "Hold Youngster" action may indicate that a baby needs some sort of attention, and crying definitely indicates that, the player may need to intervene and decide whether it needs to be fed, changed, or but held.

Bigfoot will occasionally attempt to perform a prank on the infant, or fifty-fifty attempt to fight with them. Since prank and fight interactions tin can simply be performed on Sims who are teens or older, the game will not allow him to do this, and so his interactions will simply fail.

The Sims 3 [ ]

A baby girl in The Sims 3.

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

On the normal lifespan setting, babies progress to the next life phase, Toddler, in 72 hours. This time around, however, babies are much more specifically modeled on newborn infants, and announced to represent a menstruum spanning from birth to the first few months of a Sim's life. Unlike in The Sims two, a pregnancy will last for 72 hours rather than 75 hours, and the Sim's abdomen volition expand gradually rather than abruptly growing at the end of the first two trimesters.

Pregnancies in The Sims 3 are somewhat more realistic than in The Sims 2. Pregnant Sims experience vomiting (like to morning time sickness), cravings, back pains, and lite mood swings. Pregnant Sims may also have wishes to visit the spa or get a massage when experiencing back pains, or wish to swallow sure foods to curb their cravings. Sometimes, both parents will wish for a specific gender of babe, to read pregnancy books, or to buy necessary furniture for their unborn child.

Pregnant Sims can either go to the hospital to have a baby or stay at dwelling to give birth. If the player opts for a home birth, the Sim will spend a period of fourth dimension visibly suffering from labor pains and then spin around in a deject of multicolored sparks, after which the baby appears in her hands in a manner resembling births in The Sims 2 when cutscenes are disabled. If twins or triplets are born at domicile, after the process of naming the babies and assigning traits, the Sim will put the beginning baby downwards and repeat the spinning action until all the babies are built-in. If the role player opts for a nascency to accept identify at a hospital, the Sim will disappear into the hospital rabbit hole and, after some time, emerge carrying their infant or babies once names and traits have been assigned for them. If the begetter of a baby born at a hospital is office of the meaning Sim's household, they will enter the hospital with them. Fathers from separate households, nonetheless, may or may non be present at a hospital nativity. Oddly, babies born in a hospital will accept a noticeably lower starting human relationship with the Sim that gave birth to them than babies built-in at home, though the game does not specify any reason for this.

Upon being built-in, babies now announced with blankets wrapped around them instead of wearing diapers. There are two unlike colored blankets; the default colors are sky blue for a baby male child and pastel pinkish for a baby daughter, only dissimilar colors and styles are available as custom content. The color of babe blankets can too be changed with the use of any mod that allows access to either the "Plan Outfit" mode on the dresser or Create-A-Sim. If there'southward one baby born, the mother volition carry it. If information technology's twins, the female parent and father will comport one each. If it's triplets or quadruplets or and so on, the babies will be carried in a basket on the manner habitation.

Babies are assigned ii traits at birth. Depending on how happy the mother Sim was during her pregnancy, the thespian may exist able to cull one of their traits, 2 of their traits or neither of them. Reading pregnancy books and getting massages appears to significantly increment the likelihood of being able to select both traits. If the pregnancy was a peculiarly unhappy one, the traits volition exist chosen at random and will often exist negative traits (such as evil, mean spirited or coward). Unlike in The Sims ii, the only visible attribute of babies' genetics is their peel tone, as the generic character model for a baby lacks noticeable colored eyebrows and volition e'er take blue eyes, a possible nod to the fact that babies briefly have blue eyes after birth.^[1]

For the first time in The Sims series, it is possible to select babies without the use of cheats or mods, though they remain immobile and cannot be directed to perform whatsoever interactions themselves. Regardless, the role player tin can now view babies' traits and motives and keep track of how hungry, tired, dirty or lonely they are. Babies do non have any wishes and cannot acquire whatsoever skills, but can still gain a few moodlets. Babies can also visit other community lots for the first time in the series by being carried to other community lots.

If a baby's motives get low enough, it will start to cry, which causes nearby Sims to go the negative "Crying Infant" moodlet. However, evil Sims volition get the positive "Fiendishly Delighted" moodlet from crying babies, and may steal candy from them in guild to deliberately make them cry. Any Sim in the teen stage or in a higher place may instantly refill a babe'southward hygiene motive by changing its diaper at any fourth dimension and in any location—in that location is no need for a changing table (although one tin can exist purchased in the Shop as premium content),^{[n ane]} and babies in The Sims 3 tin can no longer be bathed in the sink. Sims who are non from the aforementioned household every bit a baby volition 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-human life state if either of its parents are non-homo. However, if 2 normal Sims try for a baby with the "Magic in the Air" moodlet, which can exist gained by visiting an arboretum, there is a gamble that they will produce a baby with a random occult life land as a mutation.

In The Sims 3: Generations, there is a hazard that after a baby is built-in, the parents will exist sent an Imaginary Friend doll by a relative. The infant will take the doll in their inventory, however, they cannot collaborate with it until they age up into a toddler. Babies can also exist taken on strolls in the stroller by Sims who are teen and older.

The Sims 4 [ ]

A baby boy in The Sims 4.

Babies are the outset life phase in The Sims 4. For the kickoff time ever in the main series, new mothers are able to breastfeed their babies.^[2] Breastfeeding was previously used instead of bottle feeding in The Sims Medieval.

Teen Sims and older can collaborate with babies, (i.due east. cooing at them, cuddling them, billowy them, rocking them, and showing them off to other Sims). Children cannot pick upwards babies, but can coo at them. As in The Sims and earlier versions of The Sims FreePlay, babies in The Sims 4 are tied to their bassinet and cannot be carried around by other Sims.

Bassinets are automatically provided free-of-accuse if the pregnant Sim gives birth at a hospital. If, however, the histrion wants to have a pregnant Sim requite birth at dwelling, the player will need to purchase the bassinet prior to the nascence. If a Sim'south labor moodlet expires or is nigh to elapse, the social services volition give a free bassinet. A bassinet is non-transferable until its original occupant ages up, but information technology is possible to change the colour using the design tool.

Dependent on the life state of the baby they will go dissimilar bassinets: vampire babies have a gothic bassinet and spellcaster babies accept a elegant bassinet.

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

Simply like The Sims iii, 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 belongings a banana for baby boys, and light yellowish with a pink butterfly for babe girls.

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

If a babe is left lonely in the business firm with no grown-ups (aged teen and older) to care for information technology, they will be sent off the lot to daycare (both the baby and bassinet will disappear); the babe will return 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 exist taken away!". If the infant is not fed for a while after the message appears, the baby will disappear in a puff of green smoke (if the diaper is dingy), and the message "Due to neglect, [Sim Name] has been whisked abroad to safe. Peradventure you should try a goldfish earlier parenting again" volition appear. It will likewise happen if y'all plow on cheats, and then choose the "[DEBUG] Starves Babe" choice in the bassinet by Shift + clicking the bassinet with a babe in information technology. Originally, the same option was blank.

When it is time for the baby to be born, the actor is prompted to determine whether the baby will exist delivered at home or in the hospital. If the baby is delivered in the hospital, the parents will become to an off-screen infirmary. If Get to Piece of work is installed, the player volition also be asked to determine whether information technology will exist an off-screen birth or an on-screen nativity where the player follows the parents.

If a babe needs a diaper alter or has to swallow, it will go sad 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 up into children, equally they did in The Sims.

Babies are literally objects in The Sims 4 and can exist found in the debug section of build style. It will e'er be a nameless babe boy with the darkest skin tone that has no genetics and cannot be aged upwards.

Since the release of The Sims 4: Bully Knitting Stuff, older Sims from teen to elder 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 than like babies from The Sims in that they are born with their ain crib, and historic period into children rather than toddlers. Medieval infancy lasts for only one twenty-four hours. These babies technically do not demand care, only will still weep if left solitary long enough. A crying babe makes it incommunicable for Sims to sleep and lowers the focus of all Sims in the room. To get the baby to end crying both parents may cuddle the child. Alternatively, the mother tin can breast feed the babe (bottles are not available). Both parents volition receive a buff for cuddling the infant and/or feeding it.

The Sims FreePlay [ ]

Sims tin as well have babies in The Sims FreePlay after the 2 and A Half Sims quest. Babies can exist gained by placing a crib (bought from the home store or children'due south store) in a household where two adult Sims live.^{[northward 2]} The thespian must then click on the infant icon above the cot. If the icon is grey then a baby cannot be attained because either the actor has reached their current Sim limit or at that place are already 4 Sims living in that household. If the icon is blue, then a babe can exist bought with a number of Simoleons and information technology will appear in the cot after a 24-hour interval. The actor can too cull to become through a pregnancy journey, like main Sims games, with rewards, after the pregnancy store is built. At this bespeak, the babe's gender, wearable, and middle and skin color can be selected. Players may choose whether or non to take the babe look like its parents.

The new baby will at present prove up in the Simtracker and can be selected. This means that the histrion tin come across the baby's needs and get other Sims to interact with and care for the infant. Babies can only leave their crib if a teen Sim or older is tending to their needs, and every bit of level ten, adult Sims can carry them, place them on the footing and teach them to walk after doing the Nanny Knows Best quest. Babies are very easy to look subsequently and can be sent to slumber manually whatsoever time they are in their cot. Unlike other games, babies can be left dwelling house alone. If the baby'southward needs get besides low, it volition showtime to cry and scream. Babies also cry if they want an adult to pick them up.

Player tips [ ]

• In The Sims, endeavor using this combination for a content babe whenever it cries: feed, feed, sing. Repeat until baby sleeps.
• In The Sims, the social worker will appear if the baby is immune to cry for too long. Place a couch, recliner, or bed in the baby's room, and have one parent nap or sleep there. A crying baby will wake every Sim in the room, and this lets at least one of its parents get a skillful dark'south sleep.
• In The Sims, when having a lazy parent sleep in a baby's room, use a burrow or recliner, and take the parent nap. That way, they will not waste time complaining about having been woken up earlier they were fully rested.
• Since The Sims allows Sims to miss a day of work as long equally they don't miss 2 in a row, the player can have parents have alternate days off. The parent who isn't going to work the adjacent day should exist the 1 to slumber in the baby's room.
• In The Sims, players who have the Superstar expansion pack can rent a butler ($500/day) who will automatically tend to the babe whenever it cries. The baby will go dorsum to slumber after just 1 interaction from the butler, although they may offset crying again at shorter intervals. Nonetheless, equally long every bit the butler is effectually (normal shift is from vii am to eleven pm), he will tend to the child.
• In The Sims 2, babies' needs tin can exist viewed past using the "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" cheat. Once the cheat has been entered, shift click the babe, click Make Unselectable, shift-click the baby again, and click Make Selectable again.
• A infant bottle may used several times in The Sims 2 if it is placed in a Sim's inventory between feedings. One time the canteen is put down, click on information technology. If the option to feed the babe appears, dorsum out of the menu, and so put the canteen into the Sim's inventory. The next time the babe needs to be fed, take the canteen out of the inventory, click on it, and select the "Feed bottle to" pick.
• Babies in The Sims two cannot be woken when asleep on the floor, but can always exist picked up with the Hold Babe option when in a crib. If a baby is sleeping on the flooring but needs to be woken upward, turn on the Tv set or an audio arrangement in the same room and then that the noise will wake them. This trick also works with toddlers.
• When playing with a babe in The Sims ii, information technology is possible that the baby will vomit on the poor Sim playing with them. This will abort the "play with" interaction and reduce said Sim's hygiene motive. The Sim and the baby will not lose relationship points, still.
• In The Sims ii and The Sims three, subsequently a pregnant Sim gives nativity, they will get three days of maternity leave. The baby should ordinarily be set to age up into a toddler by the end of this period, though this may not be the case in The Sims three depending on which aging settings the player is using.
• Always attempt to keep a crib nearby in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. Having at least i per floor is easier than carrying babies upward and down the stairs all the time.
• In The Sims 3, the social worker will only appear for a baby if information technology's hunger or social motives are critically low and the role player continues to ignore them. Warning messages well-nigh the social worker will appear a few in-game hours earlier the indicate at which, a infant will be taken if nothing is done.
• To become the maximum number of trait choices for a new baby in The Sims iii, complete as many of the significant Sim's wishes as possible. A proficient strategy is to merely hope the wishes you're absolutely sure y'all'll be able to complete by the time the Sim gives nativity.
• In The Sims 3, a infant will normally take a college human relationship with its female parent if she gives nascency to it at domicile.
• In The Sims 3, if the female Sim eats three watermelons whilst pregnant, the baby will be a daughter, and if she eats three apples, she will have a boy.
• In The Sims 4, a parent who takes family leave tin continue to enjoy what is left of it if a thespian manually ages up a infant shortly after birth.
• In The Sims 4, unlike previous versions, a family who neglects a babe (or a toddler) does not become ineligible to adopt or requite birth to another baby in the immediate future.
