During today’s Sims Summit, EA gave a glimpse of an upcoming update that appears to give toddlers far more autonomy. During the event’s “One More Thing” moment, a few brief seconds were devoted to showing a crawling baby being quickly picked up by its mother. Family life just got a little hectic.
While 2017 brought fully articulated toddlers to play, babies were taped to their bassinet and reduced to little more than an object in play. This was a big change for the game since it included non-object-like babies and toddlers The Sims Games for years before inexplicably disappearing The Sims 4‘s launch. It took three years to have toddlers, but babies who act like babies wait eight or nine years. The mini-trailer only announced the update for 2023, so no babies yet.
The process of having a baby was otherwise quite dynamic. You’ll bring two Sims together, do some Woohoo, walk your Sim through taking pregnancy tests, and a variety of other tasks until it’s time. That Get to work The expansion pack even allowed Simmers to join her parents-to-be in the hospital. But after that, babies just do a lot of nothing. Players have been milking bassinet interactions as much as possible, if not aging their babies immediately after returning from the hospital.
That’s not all that’s on the horizon Sim’s 4 Two new expansions are expected over the next year, and official mod support is coming opened a new program for selected modders. From today the game has also switched to a free-to-play model, downloadable on Steam or, if you prefer, Origin (I know there are dozens of you). And for those looking forward to the next generation of sims Life, Maxis too showed a super early look at the currently unnamed follow-up.
