'''Baby''' is the first [[life stage]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'' (excluding [[pregnancy]], in the case of the latter games). It is also present in ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' series, and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', which are spin-offs of ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', respectively, and in ''[[The Sims FreePlay]]''.
There are no pre-made babies in ''The Sims'' series, although some pre-made Sims start out pregnant. Babies cannot be made in [[Create a Sim]].
Line 105:
Babies are the first life stage in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. For the first time ever in the main series, new mothers are able to {{Wiki|Breastfeeding|breastfeed}} their babies.<ref>https://twitter.com/SimGuruLyndsay/statuses/479408175745994752</ref> Breastfeeding was previously used instead of bottle 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 pick up 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-charge if the pregnant Sim gives birth at a hospital. If, however, the player wants to have a pregnant Sim give birth at home, the player will need to purchase the bassinet prior to the birth. If a Sim's labor moodlet expires or is about to expire, the social services will give a free bassinet. A bassinet is non-transferable until its original occupant ages up, but it is possible to change the color using the design tool.
When a baby is born, its [[Relationship#The Sims 4|friendship meter]], relative to all other members of the household, is almost half-full. While almost all interactions with a baby will 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 will get an interaction to "meet new sibling" when the baby is just born, and will sometimes get an [[angry]] or [[sad]] "Unwanted Sibling" moodlet.
Line 119:
If a baby is left alone in the house with no grown-ups (aged teen and older) to care for it, they will be sent off the lot to daycare (both the baby and bassinet will disappear); the baby 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 be taken away!". If the baby is not fed for a while after the message appears, the baby will disappear in a puff of green smoke (if the diaper is dirty), and the message "Due to neglect, [Sim Name] has been whisked away to safety. Maybe you should try a goldfish before parenting again" will appear. It will also happen if you turn on cheats, and then choose the
When it is time for the baby to be born, the player is prompted to decide whether the baby will be 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 ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work|Get to Work]]'' is installed, the player will also be asked to decide whether it will be an off-screen birth or an on-screen birth where the player follows the parents.
