Line 82:
Babies are assigned two [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] at birth. Depending on how happy the mother Sim was during her pregnancy, the player may be able to choose one of their traits, two of their traits or neither of them. Reading pregnancy books and getting massages appears to significantly increase the likelihood of being able to select both traits. If the pregnancy was a particularly unhappy one, the traits will be chosen at random and will often be negative traits (such as [[Evil (The Sims 3)|evil]], [[mean spirited]] or [[coward]]). Unlike in ''The Sims 2'', the only visible aspect of babies' genetics is their skin tone, as the generic character model for a baby lacks noticeable colored eyebrows and will always have blue eyes, a possible nod to the fact that babies briefly have blue eyes after birth.<ref>[http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/f/eyecolor.htm Why Babies Are Born with Blue Eyes]. ''About Education''. Retrieved 14 November 2015.</ref>
For the first time in [[The Sims (series)|''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 any interactions themselves. Regardless, the player can now view babies' traits and motives and keep track of how hungry, tired, dirty or lonely they are. Babies do not have any wishes and cannot learn any skills, but can still gain a few [[moodlet]]s. 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 get the negative "Crying Baby" moodlet. However, evil Sims will get the positive "Fiendishly Delighted" moodlet from crying babies, and may steal candy from them in order to deliberately make them cry. Any Sim in the [[teen]] stage or above may instantly refill a baby's [[hygiene]] motive by changing its diaper at any time and in any location—there is no need for a changing table (although one can be purchased in the Store as premium content),<ref group="n">Sometimes a baby's hygiene will be stuck in the red and cannot be replenished until the Sim becomes a child.</ref> and babies in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' can no longer be bathed in the sink. Sims who are not from the same household as a baby will be unable to interact with the baby unless they have a high relationship with its parents or guardians.
