Default Babies.

As we've seen in the Generations Trailer we seem to be getting pushchairs! I'm so excited about this, I'm hoping they bring back the feature to pass the baby to someone else. I hate having to put the baby down and then making my other Sim pick them up Would be nice to see the being able to carry children and toddlers too. I also wish the babies had actual outfits instead of diapers.

2 Questions, Wat new features would u like to see with children, babies or toddlers?

and can Toddlers still be sick like they did in the Sims 2? I dont think they can.. can they?

I would like to be able to pass the child to the other sim rather than putting it down like you said. Also, I'd like to be able to put the baby for a bath in the sink again and maybe use the tub for the toddler.

Agreed about passing the baby on to other sims.

I'm just hoping for more interactions, especially between toddlers - a lot of the time my twins don't really know each other til they're kids and can actually talk.

Toddlers should be able to play together. Twins or triplets should have some sort of special bond.

Id like to be able to have baby showers for pregnant sims. And also play dates for toddlers.

Toddlers can play together, when mine both know how to talk they usually communicate when they're playing with the doll house or block table. It's quite cute And yeah! Like, some unbreakable bond. Plus the baby showers would be awesome .. what if the town had it's own nursery lot? That would be awesome!

I'd like to see washing the babies return too. Also, Can sims sit down whilst holding a baby? (It's very late, I'm tired and have a cold and can't remember! ) If not, I'd like to see that. Also, Sims holding the baby whilst sat and talking on the 'phone. Plus maybe a nice bouncer chair to put them in. I think it's awful they just lie on the floor!

I'd like to see the return of the nanny because i just dont like the idea of a teenager babysitting, especially cos it also makes them miss out on school and their grades could quite possibly go down.

Also I'd like the option of a live in nanny.

All of the above, I also think it would be kinda neat if there were a few play pens, that toddlers could play in.

I think Sims should get ill with a cold etc, then they get the day off skool and some children pretend to be ill to get off skool. I think this would work if they brought out weather again.

I like the sound of that, also if they bring back sickness i think the parents should take the kids to the doctor for a check up, then the doctor could be like your sim is fine or they need a day off school, doesnt need to be in depth, can just be like when the pregnant sim goes to the hospital for a doctors visit.

But also within saying that, dont children and sims usually get a week before they stage to the next level? Within that time you usually want to get on the honor roll and that takes 3 days and then to the end of the week to have been on it for 3 consecutive days

Love the thought of having the children staying round a grandparents house for the night, or even a live out parent. That would be smart.

In Generations? not much as been said yet but have shown pushchairs.

I have to agree with the doctors visit too, that would be good

I also want an adult to be able to walk them to school or drive them to skool. Maybe when they walk they can hold the kids hand when crossing roads etc. I'd love to see it more realistic with stopping at red lights, having a lolly pop lady maybe and a zebra crossing.

We have vampires and things but all I'm really looking for is realistic things in the game

It got you enough marks to get over being terrible at cooking/ socialising. I think it reflects real life - parents will often do anything to get their kid into a good school ^^

I think babies are getting a good deal in this EP, it's about time! So far i've seen the sand pit, those bouncing things which kids can go on also (toddlers have to have parental supervision.) I think they elderly should be able to go to the hospital for regular check ups to make sure they're doing okay, but that's a different topic :P
